Summer is all around me in Ogunquit. I enjoy seeing families on the beach with chairs, umbrellas, and coolers filled with picnic food. As I walk to town I see children play corn hole on the lawns of the hotels, grandparents clap with glee as they guide their toddler...
Melissa INN Maine – Let Go of The Perfect
So much to fill you in on from the beautiful place by the sea. It feels like summer camp here. I remember my mother dropping me off at Camp Carter for the week in the summers. I’d play, create and swim all day long returning to my cabin at night looking like...
Melissa INN Maine – The Mountains, The Water and Shell Seeking

Melissa Inn Maine – A New Adventure!
I recently listened to a podcast that mentioned life is separated into three acts. Act one is birth to your 30s, act two is between 30s-60s, and your third, and final act, is life after 60. At fifty-seven years young, I am approaching my third act and I think...

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.
