I had the greatest pleasure on Saturday to attend the 90th birthday party of my dear friend, Julia Johnson. She and Earnie have known each other for almost 60 years. They raised their children together, and buried their beloved husbands together. Julia moved to...

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.

My philosophy is to host with intention, not perfection. How do you let go of perfectionism? Well, you give yourself permission to release old messages you`ve heard from others or things you`ve told yourself.
The best way to focus on intentionality is to PLAN! That`s why I created my Modern Host`s Guide to Thanksgiving. It has all the tools, tricks, and tips to help YOU be the best host you can. Because it`s ALL ABOUT RECEIVING help and support.
