It’s still warm here in Texas, but the temperatures have lowered closer to 90 than 110. I wore one of my favorite new Amazon finds on a cooler, rainy day last week – a turtleneck drawstring waist pullover. I love everything about this top, especially the...
I am excited about an upcoming trip to Mexico in May with my girlfriends. I’ve already started packing, and I wanted to share what I am taking in case you need inspiration for a bathing suit. It’s been a while since I’ve bought myself a new bathing...

I can’t believe it’s the first day of June and my second month anniversary in Ogunquit. Over the weekend we grilled hotdogs, made my baked beans, and sat outside enjoying the crazy gorgeous weather. I’ve finally settled into a routine and wanted to...
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.

Breakfast with Santa is so last year. It`s time for Cocoa with Mrs. Claus!
I had so much fun styling this pink themed table with my vintage Franciscan Desert Rose china, colony crown thumb print glassware, @glitterville Santa mugs and @amyhowardhome pink check linens.
My philosophy is to host with intention, not perfection. How do you let go of perfectionism? Well, you give yourself permission to release old messages you`ve heard from others or things you`ve told yourself.
The best way to focus on intentionality is to PLAN! That`s why I created my Modern Host`s Guide to Thanksgiving. It has all the tools, tricks, and tips to help YOU be the best host you can. Because it`s ALL ABOUT RECEIVING help and support.
