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.

Texas Caviar Dip - also known as Black-Eyed Pea Dip - is so healthy and delicious. Filled with fresh veggies, it`s the perfect Dip to take to a NYE party. Bonus - it`s good luck to eat Black-Eyed Peas in the new year for good luck!

Happy New Year!
If you`re like me, I keep holding onto Christmas decor I never use anymore. So before you pack up and store this year`s decorations, follow these helpful steps:
* Sort everything you used this year into zones. For example - Mantel, Kitchen, Tree, etc
* Label bins with those zones. Set those bins aside.
* Now go through unused decor you haven`t decorated with, touching each piece. Does it bring you joy and fit with your aesthetic, or does it need to find another home?
* Bag or box up donated items and put them in your car for drop off.
* Now take the remaining items that you are keeping and categorize them into your newly labeled bins.
Taking the time to do this now will pay off next November when it`s time to decorate again. Organizing your decor into zones makes it so much easier and saves you time. If you only have 30 minutes one day, you can pull out the "Mantel" bin and just do that one space. It`s much less overwhelming this way.

Thank you, thank you for your love, kindness, and support this year. Every like, follow, and share means so much to me.
I love our Home with a Twist community, and I am thankful for what we`ve created together.
I wish you and your family a blessed holiday season full of unexpected graces and maybe a miracle or two.
I`m taking a break for the week to enjoy time with my family and celebrate the calmness of the new year ahead.
I hope wherever you are tonight, you get caught up in the magic of Christmas. Thank you for being part of my world.
