From my hive to yours, I hope you enjoy the day with your family celebrating the red, white and blue. Mother loved Erma Bombeck and I found this funny quote from Erma that pretty much sums up the day!
Stay tuned this week for some fun twists.
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.

It`s 🌲Christmas in July! 🌲 This was one of my FAVORITE scenes I set in my former Ladies Lounge. Animal print, three trees - one pink - and Fransican Rose china. Add a dash of MCM with a pink lamp, my grandmother`s sewing table, and a French provincial buffet.
I`m tagging along with @graceharris.collection and @jenniferdimplesandtangles to share our #ItsaColorfulHoliday decor.

Don`t pass up those vintage linens just because they smell. I found this charming $14 hand knitted afghan @ltolestatesales that went from whoa to wow in just a tub of water and @wooliteusa. I let it dry in the morning sun, and now it`s ready for a chilly day!

It`s not a celebration without a monogram. Thank you, @missmollysmonogramming, for helping me put the finishing touch on my festive door decor. I`ve had the @ballarddesigns wall basket for ten plus years, and it`s the best for changing with the seasons.
I love the vintage style tenants from @mymindseyeinc. Such high quality I can use them year after year. Comment July 4th and I`ll send the link for all my ❤️🤍🩵 to stock up for next year.

Why do I love ❤️🤍🩵 so much? When I was little my room was Americana themed. My.mother painted the hardwood floors a glossy navy blue and I had a red, white and blue quilt on my bed. Everything about my room was perfectly perfect.
I think that`s why I like to decorate my porch every July 4th.

I love supporting women in small business and Hana owner @fioregelatocafe knocks it out of the park!
The sandwiches are to die for! I enjoyed the Cinq Terre - a grilled club with prosciutto,ham, turkey, cheese, pear and fig! While I waited I sipped the perfect Americano and I took home homemade Gelato for Mr. Twist.
Hannah is open 7-days a week. The perfect spot to meet friends and make new ones!

❤️🤍🩵 Y`all S`mores are my favorite summer food.
Did you know Girl Scout troop leader Loretta Scott Crew is credited with the first known recipe for s`mores, which was published in 1927 in the Girl Scout handbook Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts. The recipe was originally called "Some More" and was intended to feed 16 scouts. It called for 16 graham crackers, eight chocolate bars, 16 marshmallows, and eight roasting sticks. The recipe instructed scouts to toast marshmallows over the coals until they were crispy and gooey, then sandwich them between a graham cracker and a chocolate bar. Thank you, Loretta, for the quintessential summer fare.

Road trip Chronicles - our little getaway to Minden, Louisiana, to see my friend Sara and stay at her beautiful property, The Villas, at Spanish Court was fabulous! 🌻🌻
We went to the Sunflower Festival in Gilliam and picked sunflowers and zinnias. Fields full of blooms as far as the eyes could see.🌸🏵. Ate delicious seafood and made S`mores on our patio.
We even toured the Bonnie & Clyde Ambush Museum in Gibsland. That was interesting! Such a piece of history since the infamous couple were from Dallas, and my Daddy pumped gas for them when he was about 8-9 years old when they`d stop in Fort Worth.
Be sure to give Sara a follow @simplysoutherncottage - she`s got an amazing giveaway going on!

Wear sunscreen everyday! Growing up in the 60s and 70s I begged my mother to let me wear baby oil to suntan. BIG NO! My mother ALWAYS made me wear sunscreen before skin cancer prevention was a thing. I know she’d wish @naked_sundays was available then!
Naked Sundays is Australia’s #1 SPF viral brand and it`s finally state side in your local @target stores and online!
Naked Sundays is the best new innovative SPF brand with four new products in the skincare aisle!
All Naked Sundays products are SPF50 packed with skin-loving ingredients, clean, vegan, designed to wear alone, under, and over makeup, perfect for reapplying. It’s hard to find SPF products you love to wear everyday.
Naked Sundays has different SPF for all your needs; a mist for topping up, a tinted 100% mineral lotion/primer for under makeup or on it’s own, an SPF moisturiser as a hybrid product, and a Clear water based gel serum (WITH NO SILICONES!) for those who hate sunscreen but want invisible protection.
I wore it during my trip to Mexico, which we all know has intense sun rays, and I didn’t burn!
I`ve linked my favorite products in @shop.ltk my exclusive shopping app. Link in my bio or comment SUN I`ll send you the shoping link. #nakedsundays #nakedsundayspartner #ad #liketk.it

I met this gorgeous woman @catherinewhite.art several years ago via Instagram. We became "pen pals" via our DMs and learned we have a lot in common.
Last night, she and her husband hosted a lovely dinner party, and I witnessed her hospitality in action. Delicious welcome cocktails, cold avocado soup in the garden, a gourmet dinner ending with a delicate peach cake.
Catherine has become one of my closest friends. I love spending time with her. We hear so many negative things about social media, but in this case, finding her makes me a winner!

Popsicles say summer! Next time you want a twist, add one to a glass and top it off with Topo Chico - be a little daring and splash it with tequila to make a Ranch Water!

Easy summer dinner idea - we buy bags of frozen shrimp from Costco. They are a quick thaw, so you can whip up shrimp tacos in a jiffy. SAVE this post for later.
Shrimp Taco seasoning:
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp brown sugar
Mix spices in a bowl. Toss in one pound (or, in my case, 20 pieces of shrimp). Toss to coat all the shrimp. Heat 2 tsp olive oil in a cast iron or regular skillet. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook two minutes on each side. Serve with whatever you like - taco shells, tortillas, or over a salad.

When my friend Mary won a trip to Riveria Maya, she took her childhood besties along for the fun! ✈️🏖
We stayed a week at the stunning @vidanta resorts, and it was beyond amazing. Blue waters, white sand, friendly staff, delicious food, and daily activities - you should have seen us at water aerobics. Lazy days by the pool, swimming in the ocean, and we had the best seats a @cirquedusoleil! ⛱️ Happy hour BTW is noon to 2 p.m. 🍸🍹
I returned home renewed, tan, and filled with new memories. I love these girlies so much @mary.hendricks.claflin and @juberh ❤️❤️

We stayed a week at the stunning @vidanta resorts, and it was beyond amazing. Blue waters, white sand, friendly staff, delicious food, and daily activities - you should have seen us at water aerobics. Lazy days by the pool, swimming in the ocean, and we had the best seats a @cirquedusoleil! ⛱️ Happy hour BTW is noon to 2 p.m. 🍸🍹
I returned home renewed, tan, and filled with new memories. I love these girlies so much @mary.hendricks.claflin and @juberh ❤️❤️
Enjoying a gorgeous getaway to @vidanta in the Mayan Riveria with my besties. One thousand acres of lush jungles with wildlife, the largest pool in Latin America, and the most welcoming staff I`ve encountered. It`s paradise.

My mother, who always had a fresh manicure always in a gorgeous coral, had very little to choose from when it came to eco-friendly, luxury nail lacquer. Fast forward to modern times, thankfully, there is Ella+Mila.
Founded by a mother of twin daughters (darlingly named Ella and Mila) their mission - create high quality cruelty-free, 17-free, plant-based vitamin enriched nail products all made in the USA.
I especially love the nail polish remover - it`s acetone free and doesn`t strip your nails of natural oils.
I`ve linked my favorite colors - including Coral Crush in @shop.ltk my exclusive shopping app. Link in my bio or comment POLISH and I`ll send you the shoping link. @ellamila #ellamila #ellamilapartner #ad #liketk.it https://liketk.it/4GfjX
Better for you nail polish? Nailed it.
