Earnie’s Cooking School — Brunswick Stew
We like to come up with all sorts of engaging activites for our residents at Windwood Trail Haus. Earnie’s homework, and activity in the Day Room on Monday, was making her famous Brunswick Stew. When I was growing up she made this all the time. ...
The Invisible Thread
My church lady friends and I were sitting around one day last month talking about what our book selection should be for our November meeting. One of my friends, whom I shall not name, said, “oh, do we have to actually read a book?” Raise your hand if...
Dressing – not just for eating
Each year, at Thanksgiving, I plan two things: First, reading magazines and cookbooks for a new cornbread dressing to make, and the second, how to dress my table for the big day. In the south we don’t stuff our turkeys, so we call it dressing. ...
Frame Your Thanks
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I love the food (everytime I go to Luby’s I eat turkey and dressing). I love the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade. I love it when it’s cold outside, but this year if it’s nice we might sit on...
Hospitality is in my DNA. I founded Home with a Twist, a daughter’s twist on her mother’s traditions, in memory of my mother to celebrate her life and the gifts she shared with me. Mother loved to celebrate life’s occasions – big and small.She taught me how to prepare fabulous food, entertain guests with style and design a traditional home with a pop of color and a splash of animal print. Share my fondness of blending Mother’s mid-century style with a modern spin.

Doorbell exhaustion happens when we confuse welcoming people with performing for them.
Chasing perfection turns hospitality into dread.
Your home is meant to be lived in. Guests arrive hoping for warmth and a place to rest, not a flawless show.
Offering an unhurried presence at the table gives everyone permission to relax and be comfortable.
Tell me below: what brings you peace when opening your door to others? 🤍

Welcome back to The Thursday Closet.
Most of us have a linen graveyard: that deep drawer or storage bin where beautiful tablecloths and runners go to die. You fold them, stack them away, and then completely forget what you own.
Instead of burying table linens in dark bins, I installed pull-out trouser racks designed for clothing closets.
They glide right out, keep every piece visible at a glance, and save so much shelf space. When it is time to set the table, your linens lift right off the rods ready to use.
Tell me below: do you have a linen graveyard in your house, or how do you store your table linens right now? 👇

Someone might tell you that silver casserole holders are only for holiday dinners. But if you ask me, the prettiest pieces belong in our daily life.
Set it on the kitchen counter next to the stove, slide your favorite cookbooks right inside, and give that vintage piece a whole new job.
Tell me below: would you try this on your counter, or are you still saving your silver for someday? 👇
Save this for when you`re styling your kitchen! What should we repurpose next?
