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.

I stood in a resale shop staring at this tray. I couldn't put it down. But it was tarnished. I thought when would I use it and it's so ugly.

Join me each week for the Thursday Closet where I share treasures meant for everyday, not just holidays.

Comment PUMPKIN and I'll send you my recipe for Cinnamon Toast Pumpkin Bread.

I love to bake especially in the fall season. You can easily take a boxed mix like this one from @traderjoes and add in things like these orange and ginger jammy bits from @kingarthurbaking.

My adorable dress is from @shoplemoncake. Forest green gingham, beautiful embroidery detail and pockets! The perfect hostess dress.

Remember - you don't have to bake anything. Buy something you love from your favorite bakery, brew a pot of coffee and sit down with friends. 

Host with intention, not perfection.
