From the Writer’s Desk – Things Said, Read, Loved
“Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart.” – William Wordsworth I oftentimes find interesting stories or posts and I think “this is really good, I want to share this.” In grade school, my favorite day of the week was Friday when...
The Taste Project – A Delicious Way to Fight Hunger
My graduate school class this summer is focused on Food Insecurity. I wish everyone could take this class to have a better appreciation for how much food we waste both in our homes and in the retail food industry, and the number of people right here in Texas who...
Quarantine Cocktails – the BUZZ on monthly cocktail subscription boxes
A few weeks ago, I shared a photo of our beverage center in our family room. I love built-in cabinets, probably because I am a kid of the 70s when built-in desks and bars were the rage. During a renovation several years ago, I talked with our contractor about my idea...

Home with a Twist YouTube – Opening Happy Mail
Two fun pieces of mail arrived this week and I wanted to share them. So, I sat down on my patio a few days ago and made a video! It’s kind of like “Show and Tell” which was my favorite thing to do in elementary school. So, go pop some popcorn or...
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.

Breakfast with Santa is so last year. It`s time for Cocoa with Mrs. Claus!
I had so much fun styling this pink themed table with my vintage Franciscan Desert Rose china, colony crown thumb print glassware, @glitterville Santa mugs and @amyhowardhome pink check linens.
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.

Did you know I have a digital store filled with gift tags, ebooks, and printables? There`s a few freebies, and everything is under $10.
These 🩷❤️ JOYFUL ❤️🩷 gift tags are perfect to add to gifts, goodies, and bottles of wine or bubbly. I found a Christmas themed tea towel and spatula at Target. Then, wrapped it with a pink ribbon. Added my original tag for a next level, custom touch! 🎄🎄🎄
