Yes, Daddy, there is coconut in heaven
This is a fun post I wrote back in 2012 at Buzz in the Hive. I thought since today is Father’s Day it would be a nice tribute to my daddy, James Raymond Reeves. Enjoy! Missing my Daddy so much today. You see, today marks the first anniversary of his death. ...

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.

You know those pins your mother gave you - WEAR THEM! I took one of my mother`s vintage starburst pins and created a cinched waist with my velvet jacket. It definitely elevates your look!
You can add pins to your handbag, a jean jacket, a scarf around your wrist, and like my friend Jen @stylewithnoregret, she decorated a tinsel tree with vintage brooches.
You will definitely make a statement at the party!
Comment CAKE and I`ll send you my recipe for Cranberry Christmas Cake, or visit my website www.homewithatwist.com.
I like to pour the batter into small 8x8 pans for easy gifting. Add a dusting of powdered sugar, a ribbon, and a tag, and you`ll deliver the perfect Christmas morning treat.

I loved getting creative on this hostess gift project. It started with a package of festive @casparistyle napkins and a bottle of pink bubbly.
I added green and pink ribbon and some tags available in my digital store. I know my neighbors with love this gift to help celebrate the holiday.
Here is a last-minute gift idea you can make for friends that would be a perfect way to engage your children and teens when they are home for Christmas — homemade stovetop potpourri!
When I was little, Sister and I would make crafts together as my gift to family members. One year, we made spice ropes, and another year, we filled hairspray caps with plaster and stuck a fork inside to make a recipe holder. Our creative skills were on fire! I have fun memories working with her on these crafts, instilling in me the spirit of giving.
Buzz over to my blog for the recipe and printable cards. Or comment GIFT, and I`ll DM you the link.
