What Would Holley Wear: Pajama Style
In all honesty, this article was supposed to be about what to wear to spring parties, showers, and graduations. As you know, all of these events were canceled….including our grandson, Evan’s, graduation from pre-school. #SadLolley. So, when is it considered too late...
Mrs. Twist’s School of Gracious Living
Launched during the pandemic Mrs. Twist’s School of Gracious Living was inspired to curate an opportunity for women to gather virtually in my home to learn from each other as I shared my gifts of hospitality. People make the party, not the space. Now that the...
What Would Holley Wear: To a Zoom Meeting
A new technology tool we’ve discovered during the COVID-19 pandemic is Zoom. My Zooming has been with family, friends, and my book club. But I know many of our readers Zoom for business meetings. Which leads into….WWHW to a Zoom meeting! Here’s the deal….you are...
Shirley Temple Cake
Looking through Pinterest recently, I found a recipe from Tastes of Lizzy T for a Shirley Temple Cake! I loved this iconic drink when I was little. Mother and Daddy would order me this mocktail to enjoy as they visited with their friends over dinner. I always felt...
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.

✨ Day 2 of The Ladies` Lounge restyle is here, and today we’re giving the bookcase a glow-up that’s equal parts bold and beloved.
I used peel-and-stick wallpaper to echo the orange in my curtains, and filled the shelves with treasures that tell my story — books I adore, art that whispers read more, seashells, family photos, and my ever-growing collection of blue and white chinoiserie.
Sometimes, all it takes is a little pattern and a pop of color to turn a plain backdrop into a joyful invitation to linger (and maybe pick up a book).
Stay tuned — the final reveal is coming Saturday, and trust me… she’s going to be a stunner.
💬 Tell me below: what little detail in your home makes you smile every time you see it?
Styling Week for my Ladies` Lounge! I`ve been busy moving things around, curating art and debating over so many curtain options, but I finally settled on this rich green, bird, and botanical fabric, and I really love it. It`s definitely a personal vibe - but go bold or go home, right?
It speaks to me because my mother loved color - always saying,"Green is Mother Nature`s color and goes with everything." Mother also loved birds, and it brings me joy knowing a little bit of her is in this room!
Be sure to check back every day this week as I work on new styling additions and the big reveal of my ladies` lounge on Saturday!
Our tables hold more than plates — they hold laughter, tears, confessions, and countless slices of cake. This is a love letter to the place where we gather, grow, and feel at home. 💛
My childhood home was at 4617 Meadowbrook Drive. I learned to set the table there. I made my first recipe standing on a stepstool beside my mother. I witnessed joyous occasions like showers and birthdays and learned what loss feel like with meals brought by friends after a funeral.
What story does your table tell? I`d love for you to share your memory with me below or tag someone you`d love to invite to your next meal. #DearTable
Nothing says, "I adore you," quite like a warm biscuit wrapped up with love!
✨ Taking homemade goodies to a friend is a form of hospitality… and possibly the sweetest love language of all. 💌
This week I baked up a batch of fluffy, golden buttermilk biscuits (cue the butter melting magic ✨), then wrapped them up to surprise a friend — because who wouldn’t swoon over a warm, homemade treat arriving at their door? And, I added a jar of Mr. Twist`s blueberry jam and a batch of chocolate chip cookies (did you see yesterday`s post?).
Want to make your gifts extra special? My “You’re My Kinda Jam” gift tags (with the cutest little jam jar art) add that perfect finishing touch.
