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.

When you`re out shopping for your Christmas tree or poinsettias ask if you can have a few pine sprigs for your decor. I created this centerpiece for less than $5 with a few oranges, a bag of clementines and a few faux green apples. It`s edible, colorful and inviting. Have fun creating!

It`s dip season! Save the trouble of defrosting frozen spinach and squeezing out the water. Just use fresh spinach.
A 10-oz box of frozen spinach is equivalent to 1 1/2 cups of spinach after draining which is roughly what you get from a 10-oz package of fresh spinach!
SAVE for later.

Each dish I prepare for others is more than just a meal; it`s a heartfelt gift, a tangible representation of love and appreciation.
It fills my heart with joy that our togetherness in the kitchen, emphasizes how the act of cooking collectively strengthens bonds and fosters a sense of community.
Holidays like Thanksgiving also bring me closer to my mother who exemplified gracious living.

👉 Pro tip - for wooden stems always split the stem at the base so the leaves can take in water. Happy Thanksgiving week!

1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup of sugar
1/3 cup of evaporated milk
2 beaten eggs
Combine all of the ingredients and pour into a buttered 9×13 dish.
Top with the following mixture:
1 cup of brown sugar
1/3 cup of flour
1/3 stick of melted butter
1/2 cup of chopped pecans (optional)

A must is @thedirdiebirdie in The Domain Austin. We had so much fun sipping bubbly while we played indoor golf then enjoyed a delicious lunch in their restaurant. What a fun holiday party idea! They also have a great happy hour with drink discounts.

I wanted a 70s vibe and this $40 faux wrap chiffon dress fit the bill. I loved carrying my mother`s vintage gold bag. Comment WEDDING and I`ll send you the shopping link!

Amazon wedding outfit! Most everything I wore came from Amazon making it super affordable!
I wanted a 70s vibe and this $40 faux wrap chiffon dress fit the bill. I loved carrying my mother`s vintage gold bag. Comment WEDDING and I`ll send you the shopping link!

Words sting and can`t be taken back. This week choose kindness and compassion for others. Most importantly try not to listen to the voices that say you don`t matter. Because you do matter. You are loved. What people think about you is none of your business.❤

Pinch me! I`m still thinking about my dinner with Wendy @chairwhimsy. Greeted with margaritas at the door (my favorite hostess tip) then a tour of her nothing but magical Victorian home I loved how she made her guests (most of us strangers) feel welcomed! Isn`t that the true meaning of hospitality?
Enchiladas al fresco under the stars with the backdrop of @austinsharpist
playing Adele, my bestie @juberh and I chatted with fan girls who think Wendy is as cool as we do.
We finished the night with pralines and shortbread cookies and left with swag bags designed by her daughter (see my stories).
Be sure to give @chairwhimsy a follow because she has something pretty special coming up. Oh, and I got to touch the Taylor Swift Lover chair!

Such a simple thing. Find the most beautiful fall photo you`ve taken and make it your phone`s screensaver. You`ll be reminded how the crimson colors of fall warm your heart.
I took these photos in October `22 as I strolled the streets of historic Kennebunkport @kporths.
My kind of hygee. #cozyfall
