Let’s Ask Mrs. Twist — How to Keep Cakes from Sticking in the Pan
I have been wanting to start an “advice column” for a while. My friend and follower Amy posted a question on my Face Book page today so it was just what I needed to launch Let’s Ask Mrs. Twist. I may not know the answers to all your questions, but...
Hosting a Man-Party
My husband turned 60 this week. I didn’t want his milestone birthday to go without a fun celebration. As an event planner, I have made such wonderful connections with professionals who have also become friends. I assembled this village and they helped me to...
In the Kitchen: My picks for awesome cookbooks
I spent the month of January cleaning out pretty much every closet, including the attic, and since many of my little used cookbooks were donated to the Friends of the Library, I chose these new books for my cookbook library… You Have it Made by Ellie Krieger. I...
Great Reads for Gift Giving
I wanted to share a few of my favorite books for gift giving. And, hopefully, you’ll have a sales person as terrific as Rufus to wrap them up for you. First, Dinner: A Love Story by Jenny Rosenstrach. Mr. Bee gave me this book three...
Brunch with Bobby Flay and Williams-Sonoma
I have had the best time attending Williams-Sonoma’s monthly cookbook club. October featured the new Bobby Flay cookbook — Brunch @ Bobby’s. I was specifically interested in this book because I wanted inspiration for new brunch dishes...
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.

✨ No filter needed — just the evening’s golden glow, dancing across seashells, vintage photos, and a flickering candle. I love how the light catches my latest art piece from @catherinewhite.art above the mantel.
In the rush of summer’s fun-filled days, we often forget to savor the gentle, quiet moments — the hush before twilight, the soft stories told in light.
This reel is a love letter to those slow, honeyed hours when time seems to pause and everything feels a little softer.
Let’s remember: summer isn’t only about adventures. It’s also about lingering, listening, and letting the glow sink in.
💛 Which golden hour moment will you savor this week? Tell me below.👇👇👇
Every woman deserves a place that`s hers alone — a soulful, story-filled retreat to sip, play, dream, and remember who she is beyond the to-do lists.
My Ladies` Lounge is where I let my imagination wander, where memories meet new moments, and where the soundtrack is always perfectly set to me time.
It`s a space filled with treasures like my mother`s secretary that still smells like it did when she wrote letters 50 years ago. Books that inspire me, puzzles to engage my mind and Barry Manilow to keep me company.
I can`t wait to share more with you from this dreamy, colorful corner of my world.
Mr. Twist has been such a good sport helping me get my Ladies` Lounge finished. But, when Barry sings the Copacabana, I can`t stay focused!😅😅
I`m loving have a record player in my Lounge. It takes me back to my teenage years. I need a few more albums for my collection. What`s an album I need or a song that makes you drop everything and DANCE? Tell me below👇👇👇
You know when you find something hidden in the stuff and it`s like Christmas! I found my deck of vintage Hallmark 1970s playing cards. The faces are abstract art of a dog and a cat in turquoise, green, and aqua. I love them!
So I`ve been playing solitaire in my Ladies` Lounge, sipping coffee, and spinning vinyl. Today, it`s Carole King Tapestry. I found @panthercityvinyl.
What are you enjoying this weekend? What`s your favorite card game and album? Tell me 👇👇
