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.

Unlike protein, reaching your daily fiber goal of 21g can be challenging. Adding fiber rich foods to your diet helps with gut health and making you feel fuller longer. I`ve started packing these little "fiber kits" to help me stay on track.
If you`re new here - Mei is my personal trainer and she specializes in helping midlife women 45+ achieve their fitness goals. My main concern is reversing my osteopenia. Be sure to give @meisaysmove

There’s something sacred about a table set with intention… not perfection.
We all can use a little love letter. We open front door, stir the pot, light the candle anyway—even when life feels full and messy.
Maybe you need the reminder today (I know I often do):
❤️You don’t have to do more to be a beautiful hostess. You just have to show up with heart.
So this is your gentle nudge—invite them over, use the good dishes, serve what you can, and let the rest fall into place.
Because the magic was never in the menu… it was always in you.
With love,
A fellow hostess 🤍

Ralph Lauren style, the Home with a Twist way! 🍷
Think cozy plaids, vintage thermoses, brass candlesticks, fresh flowers, and individual cheese boards. I layered these collected treasures to create a warm, inviting wine tasting table that feels elevated without being fussy.
The secret? Shop your home, mix old with new, and remember that nothing needs to match perfectly.
Because a beautiful table is lovely, but the conversations around it are what really matter.
