Christmas Day Scavenger Hunt — A Visit from the Past
I had one of the most restful Christmas seasons I can recall in a long time. I cut way back on commitments and running around. I only spent $50 on new Christmas decor — a doormat and a cute Santa for the front porch table. I re...Need a dessert for a Christmas Party?
The Black Russian Bundt Cake recipe my neighbor shared with me is the bomb. Easy to make and especially pretty if you have a decorative bundt pan. Several years ago I purchased this Nordic Bundt pan shaped like Christmas trees: Be sure to grease and spray...
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...
Scenes from an Easter’s Eve — Caution Peeps and Fire are involved
Family came over tonight to eat an Easter picnic and to dye eggs. I am going to make an entry another day to share the “heirloom” recipes we had for our picnic today. But, here are some pics of the eggs we dyed. See an earlier post...
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.

Thank you, thank you for your love, kindness, and support this year. Every like, follow, and share means so much to me.
I love our Home with a Twist community, and I am thankful for what we`ve created together.
I wish you and your family a blessed holiday season full of unexpected graces and maybe a miracle or two.
I`m taking a break for the week to enjoy time with my family and celebrate the calmness of the new year ahead.
I hope wherever you are tonight, you get caught up in the magic of Christmas. Thank you for being part of my world.
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.
