Friyay Fit: My Picks for Spring – Gingham, Tie Waist Pants, Lipstick, and a Podcast

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.

Styling Week for my Ladies` Lounge! I`ve been busy moving things around, curating art and debating over so many curtain options, but I finally settled on this rich green, bird, and botanical fabric, and I really love it. It`s definitely a personal vibe - but go bold or go home, right?
It speaks to me because my mother loved color - always saying,"Green is Mother Nature`s color and goes with everything." Mother also loved birds, and it brings me joy knowing a little bit of her is in this room!
Be sure to check back every day this week as I work on new styling additions and the big reveal of my ladies` lounge on Saturday!
Our tables hold more than plates — they hold laughter, tears, confessions, and countless slices of cake. This is a love letter to the place where we gather, grow, and feel at home. 💛
My childhood home was at 4617 Meadowbrook Drive. I learned to set the table there. I made my first recipe standing on a stepstool beside my mother. I witnessed joyous occasions like showers and birthdays and learned what loss feel like with meals brought by friends after a funeral.
What story does your table tell? I`d love for you to share your memory with me below or tag someone you`d love to invite to your next meal. #DearTable
Nothing says, "I adore you," quite like a warm biscuit wrapped up with love!
✨ Taking homemade goodies to a friend is a form of hospitality… and possibly the sweetest love language of all. 💌
This week I baked up a batch of fluffy, golden buttermilk biscuits (cue the butter melting magic ✨), then wrapped them up to surprise a friend — because who wouldn’t swoon over a warm, homemade treat arriving at their door? And, I added a jar of Mr. Twist`s blueberry jam and a batch of chocolate chip cookies (did you see yesterday`s post?).
Want to make your gifts extra special? My “You’re My Kinda Jam” gift tags (with the cutest little jam jar art) add that perfect finishing touch.

What makes a recipe a heirloom? It’s not always passed down from generations ago—it’s the ones we use again and again until the pages are sticky with love. This chocolate chip cookie recipe may not be written in my grandmother’s handwriting, but it holds just as much meaning.
Someday, it’ll be my daughter’s.
✨ Do you have a recipe that’s becoming an heirloom in your kitchen? I’d love to hear about it. 🍪 Tell me below.
