My Heart’s in Two Places: Countdown to College drop-off – One year later
I know for many of you this time of the year is full of firsts and lasts. It is an exciting time full of check-lists and shopping trips to Target picking out their 100th ruler and twin XL sheets for their dorm room. At the same time, when you let your heart and mind...
The Randomness of January: Breaking Up with Cable, Simmer Sauce, Kind Replies and Other Stuff
Coming down from the hustle and bustle of the holidays is a challenge. I had such a great two-week staycation from work and did exactly what I set out to do — nothing. I slept late, binge watched tv and movies, took naps, read, cooked and spent alot of time...

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.

What’s one thing you’re doing this August to savor the season — or prep for fall?
👇 Tell me in the comments, and let’s start this month with a little intention and a lot of grace.
Hello, August - my birthday month! The month that lingers between summer’s glow and autumn’s hush. I like to think of you as a gentle invitation — not to rush, but to notice. To finish what we started. To gather what we’ve grown. To feel the soft shift in the air and make space for what’s next.
I’m sharing the little ways I honor this in-between season. Slide through and let me know how you`re spending your August.
✨ Welcome to my Ladies’ Lounge ✨
A soulful space designed with four guiding words in mind:
Cozy – where the light is soft and the throws are plush
Colorful – pops of joy, in every hue with a dash, or two of animal print that make my heart smile
Curated – every piece placed with purpose
Collected – filled with treasures, stories, and sentimental finds
This room isn’t just for show—it’s a retreat, a gathering spot, a space to sip, read, laugh, and play (Mahjong anyone?). And mostly, it`s a warm hug.
I hope it inspires you to carve out a space that feels uniquely you.
🎥 Watch the full reel for the grand tour!
🪑 Then tell me: What’s one thing your dream lounge would have? A record player? A game table? A signature scent? Drop it in the comments 💬👇
🍬🍬Comment CANDY, and I`ll send you the link to the Candy Bar sign and the jars!🍭🍭
My candy bar table is inspired from my childhood memories of walking with my bestie to Mott`s Five & Dime to buy penny (yes, I`m that old) candy. We`d fill brown paper sacks with our faves and skip home happy as can be.
🍒 My top favorites are cherry sours (but only from HEB)
Orange slices 🍊
🩷🤍 Pink & white frosted animal cookies
🥜 Peanut M&Ms
Spice drops
Peanut Butter Bars (nostalgia, please)
I found the vintage bamboo table @themercantilefortworth thanks to Tracy @storiedhomedecor. It`s the perfect size and gives me extra shelves for books.
All my candy is from @heb at $1.50 a bag it was great on my budget.
This is the final touch on my Ladies` Lounge ! Come back tomorrow for the BIG REVEAL! ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

✨✨ If I could sit beside that little girl — hair in pigtails, heart full of big dreams — I’d whisper the truths it took years to learn.
That she was already loved. That the quiet strength of the women before her lived in her bones. The table where she played, hosted tea parties, and make-believe at would one day hold stories, laughter, and legacy.
This is a love letter to her — the little girl I was, the woman I became, and the legacy I’m still living out. We are an unfinished portrait. Every day, adding new textures, layers, and beauty.
Which one of these sentiments would your younger self need to hear?
