Heirloom Photo: Always the Center of Attention

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.
Mrs. Twist Takes on Instagram
28 years flew by! The best years of my life have been married to my forever. Marriage is not easy sometimes, but when you`re married to the right person for you, it isn`t hard (trust me, I had hard the first time).
We had an afternoon teaparty themed outdoor wedding at the Fort Worth Botanical Garden. When we booked it, the wedding coordinator said, "You know that`s Mayfest weekend. It will rain." I replied, "Not on my wedding day." It was sunny and 75 degrees!
Parenting, caregiving, retirement - through every chapter we`ve been by each other`s side. I`m so lucky. And very thankful to my sister, who set us up on a blind date!

This is one of my go-to treats for wedding and baby showers, and really, anytime I want a tart and sweet bite of lemon curd. And they are so pretty on a cake plate.
This is my sister`s recipe, and I`ve been baking them since I was about ten years old. I`ve never tried any other recipe because hers are perfect!
Do you love lemon bars like I do?
Comment CHECKLIST for my free hosting guide. I`ll send it straight to your DM.
Many of these tips were things I watched my mother do when she hosted parties.
My favorite one is SELFCARE! Hosting is fun but it`s always a little draining. Refuel with a hot soak, a nap or just freshening your makeup.
Remember hosting is about intention, not perfection.
