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.

I was the youngest of four - being the baby is the BEST! So my parents always took me with them to dinner parties. Even at 5 years old I was a great at small talk.🤣
The hostess would let me make my own Shirley Temple, then set me up a TV tray in the den and I watched cartoons.
The Shirley Temple has always been my fave. But let`s bring her into modern times and make her a little dirty! This drink is perfect as in for a mocktail, but you can show your guests the darker side of Shirley! 🍒🍒
The Dirty Shirley Recipe
1.5 oz silver rum
1.0 oz Marascino Cherry Liquer
.5 oz fresh lime juice
1 tsp grenadine
Pour all the ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake for 30 seconds (very important to shake for the full amount so it gets good and cold)
Strain over ice into a glass. Top with sparkling water and 🍒 cherries

Red, white and blue have also been special to me. When I was little, my mother painted the wooden floors in my bedroom a glossy navy blue and dressed my bed in an Americana quilt. She was the original Martha Stewart - very stylish and forward thinking.
This @harlemtoilegirl collection from Walmart tells a story, too. It`s Sheila`s tribute to the city where she grew up. Her designs blend historic references, local icons, and familiar cultural motifs through color and pattern. I love seeing Betsy Ross on the plate!

My Ladies` Lounge is where I dream, read, listen to vinyl, create, and gather with girlfriends over bubbly cocktails. It`s also home to my cherished heirlooms, collected treasures, and my well-loved hosting closet.
The room is layered in colors that remind me of a vintage punch bowl—oranges, sunny yellows, and fresh lime greens. Every corner feels like a sweet nod to my childhood, wrapping me in memories of a home that was warm, welcoming, and wonderfully safe.
Thanks for stopping by 👋
