The Five Best Houseplants and a Spotify Plant Playlist
Houseplants are nothing new but have you noticed a resurgence in their popularity on social media? American gardeners spent a record $52.3 billion on lawn and garden retail sales last year, according to the 2019Â National Gardening Survey. A quarter of that spending...
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.

After 40 years of gathering people around my table, I can tell you that most hosting stress comes from overthinking, not a lack of skill.
Your guests are coming for an escape and a warm welcome, not a white-glove inspection. When you stop treating party prep like a performance, hosting becomes something you actually look forward to.
Follow along for my Cottage Coaching launch on October 5! Your first stop for Hosting mentorship.
Save this checklist for your next gathering. 📌

When I was little, spending the night at my big sister`s house was the best thing in the world. She`d let me stay up late, and in the morning she`d pull this warm cake out of the oven. The whole kitchen smelled like sugar and butter, and I thought she was the fanciest baker alive.
Turns out, the secret was just Bisquick, butter, sugar, and one egg. The crumb topping is brown sugar broiled to a golden brown.
When you have overnight guests waking up on a Saturday morning, a warm pan on the counter while the coffee brews welcomes everyone into the kitchen.
The sweetest hospitality comes right from a box in the pantry.

Did your family have a back-of-the-box recipe you still make?

I used to believe that hosting meant having it all together before anyone sat down. The right napkins folded the right way. The food timed perfectly. The house looking like no one actually lived in it.
But after forty years of opening my front door to people, I can tell you this. Some of the best conversations I`ve ever had happened over mismatched plates. Some of the deepest laughter happened when the recipe didn`t turn out. Some of the most meaningful moments happened when I stopped performing and just sat down with my guests.
Your table is already enough. The dishes in the sink, the chairs that don`t all match, the candle you lit to cover the fact that you burned the rolls. All of it.
Because the women sitting around your table didn`t come for the presentation. They came because you made room for them.
When was the last time you sat down at your own table and actually enjoyed being there?
