How to Make a Centerpiece Using Magnolia Market Paperwhites

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.

Welcome to The Thursday Closet.
If you want a calm Thanksgiving morning, the secret is taking care of your table before Thanksgiving week arrives. Just a few minutes here and there saves loads of time later.
Every year, I see women spend Thanksgiving Eve hand-washing dusty china at midnight, hunting down dessert forks, and trying to count place settings while the turkey thaws.
That is why I open this closet door now and pull my Johnson Brothers Friendly Village dishes.
Taking twenty minutes to pull your plates, check your count, and set them aside buys you the one thing you really want on Thanksgiving morning: your peace. You deserve to sit with a cup of hot coffee and watch the parade.
If you want my complete 4-week countdown and prep schedule so holiday week feels effortless, last-minute seats are open for my Thanksgiving Masterclass this Monday. Comment CLASS and I will send you the link.

🥂🍷Comment WINE and I will send you the direct link to the @ingoodtastewines advent calendar, plus $25 off your first order.
Opening multiple full bottles just to please red, white, and rosé drinkers usually means half of that wine sits on the counter and ends up down the drain.
These 6 oz single-servings (can we talk about how cute the bottles are) mean everyone gets the exact pour they want, you never waste an open bottle, and you can stay out of the kitchen with your guests. Opening each door makes holiday hosting so effortless.
24 bottles of wine from Italy, Germany, Austria, France, New Zealand, Sonoma and Napa Valley means you can enjoy a sip from all corners of the world. It does sell out quickly, don`t delay. 🍷🥂

Every November, I hear the same thing from women who love hosting Thanksgiving: “I love having everyone together, but I spend the entire day in the kitchen while everyone else gets to enjoy it.”
Sound familiar?
After 40 years of hosting Thanksgiving, I`ve learned something that changed everything: A peaceful Thanksgiving morning begins long before Thursday.
The secret isn`t working harder. It`s knowing what to do, when to do it, and what can be finished days ahead.
Because you deserve to enjoy the holiday, too. To sip your coffee, watch the parade, visit with your family, and actually sit down at the beautiful table you`ve prepared.
That`s exactly what I`ll teach you in my live Thanksgiving Masterclass on November 2!
For just $10, you`ll receive: 🍂 My step-by-step Thanksgiving countdown 🍂 Simple menu plans and time-saving shortcuts 🍂 My complete 26-page Thanksgiving Playbook 🍂 A live hour of coaching and answers to your hosting questions
My goal? To help you walk away with a Thanksgiving plan you actually feel good about.
Comment CLASS and I`ll send the registration link straight to your inbox.

In French, souvenir means memory. Isn`t that a beautiful way to think about hospitality?
Every time we open our doors and gather around the table, we have the opportunity to give our guests a little souvenir to take home. Not something wrapped in a pretty package, but a treasured memory of feeling welcomed, included, and loved.
So don`t worry if the house isn`t perfect, the napkins don`t match, or dinner doesn`t go quite as planned. Your guests won`t remember those little things.
Being with you, in your home is their get away from life at home. You are offering a respite.
Open the door. Make the memories. Let that be enough. ❤️
