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.

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.

"A sister is our first friend and second mother." Sunny Gupta
My sister Paula was 15 when I was born. This photo is pretty much how we were during my childhood - always together. From her, I learned how to tie my shoes, my multiplication tables, learning colors with eating M&Ms, and how to be the perfect houseguest, and she hosted fun sleepovers at the DG house at TCU.
Happy Mother`s Day, dear sister, and to all the women who lovingly "mothered" someone who needed it.

I moved things around - much to Mr. Twist`s dismay - and turned my breakfast area into a "keeping room." Comment BLOG and I`ll send you extra details.
Existing for centuries, a keeping room allowed family and friends to gather near the hearth or warmth from the kitchen, which was typically the only source of heat.
Guests can sit and visit comfortably while I cook, but I love it the most in the quiet of the morning with my first coffee of the day. The light coming in and the bright colors makes it cheerful and welcoming.
Thank you @lillianhudsondesign for sourcing the game table - it folds out!
And @shulerstudio for the custom monogram I used on the back of the chair.

Hi 👋 I`m Melissa! Happy May Day! If you`re new to my squares, I`m so happy you`re here. Here`s some fun stuff about me 👇💋
🏡 Since I`m newly retired, I love puttering around my house - moving things around creating cozy spaces.
🐈 I have four cats and a dog 🐕. I`ve never met an animal I wouldn`t want to adopt.
🍰I love cake, and I`m a snob about it. Has to be buttercream frosting, the perfect ratio of frosting to cake, and it must be vanilla. Although a good slice of chocolate will do, too.
🩵My parents are both gone, and I miss them both a lot. But I see my daddy in the 🌙 full moon and my mother at the 🐦 bird feeder. She loved feeding birds, and a cardinal greets me every morning. I know it`s my mother.
Tell me something about you 👇. Thanks for following my journey to seek JOY!

I often wish I could go back and watch myself as a little girl growing into a young woman. What would I tell her after all my years of wisdom and reflection? I`m a work in progress every day, but as I approach 60, I`m stronger than I`ve ever been - body, mind, and soul.
Never stop working on yourself. No one will take better care of you than YOU. 🩵

Comment DILL and I`ll send you this quick, healthy and delicious recipe for Creamy Cucumber Dill Salad. My mother made this all the time in the summer when Dill and Cucumber are growing like weeds in the garden.
It`s the perfect side with anything grilled and can keep in the refrigerator for several days. Take with you for the next potluck supper.

Dinner on the patio - there`s a small window of time in Texas where dining under the stars is magical. Here`s my favorite ideas for an al Fresco dinner...
🍽 Light candles - I love to place a tea light at each person`s seat so the glow of the flame illuminates their face.
🍽 Using white dinner plates is the perfect neutral backdrop, so your food, flowers, and colorful napkins pop.
🍽 Serve a buffet. For this dinner, we prepared a taco bar with assorted meats and toppings. Guests can serve themselves and go back for seconds.
🍽 Delicious Sips - We served Pomegranate Ranch Water. Oh, so pretty and delicious. I`ll share the recipe in my stories.

Have you had a color analysis? I had such a fun time with @hoc.fortworth.lauren recently learning about the process to find my season.
I`m an autumn which means my best colors to wear are rich, warm, earthy and vibrant. It was eye opening to watch my face "pop" when Lauren draped me with my signature colors.
You leave with a portfolio of colors to use for shopping and I also selected my perfect shade of red 💄 lipstick.

⚘⚘I love rose garden season! Every morning I go outside with my clippers and bring inside the sweetest smelling @david_austin_roses.
I`ve got three crystal rose bowls from estate sales on rotation for fresh roses everyday. In a few month when the weather is warmer the zinnias will arrive! 🌼🌼

My precious Phoebe hosted her first bridal shower with me yesterday and it made my heart glow. I loved seeing her spirit of hospitality in action as we worked together in the kitchen and as guests arrived.
My mother did the same with me - teaching me recipes, etiquette, and how to make people feel special. Now it`s passed down to Phoebe.
Yesterday was also meaningful because the bride is the granddaughter of my high school teacher from 40 years ago. Mindy and I have stayed friends and now our girls are friends. How good is God!❤

Pro- Tip 💐🏵🌼⚘ Don`t let those gorgeous blooms droop in the car! Grab a bucket or ask the nice folks @traderjoes for one to transport your flowers in the car. They`ll stay hydrated and beautiful until you get home. 🏡
If you don`t need the bucket return it to the store at your next visit.

I love walking my dog Hazel and I notice she always follows a path - the one most worn down and easiest to travel. Does that method always get us to our end goal?
The road less taken may be daunting, but it`s often the one that leads to extraordinary destinations. Will you dare to tread? Tell me your thoughts 👇👇

Look no further for a charming spot to spend your vacation - The Villas at Spanish Court in Minden, Louisiana brought to you by Sara McDaniel @simplysoutherncottage.
As seen in Cottages and Bungalows and American Farmhouse Style magazines, The Villas at Spanish Court were once the most state of the art multi-family dwellings in the state of Louisiana. After falling into a great state of disrepair, The Villas sat vacant for nearly forty years and were close to being lost forever. Sara saw the beauty hiding beneath the rot and ruin to bring these historic villas back to life.
On the way home from Laurel, Mississippi we bookec The Daisy room. Beautifully decorated, cozy and inviting - Sara has thought of everything to make sure your stay is 5-Stars. Tell her Melissa sent you.

We`ve planted a good bit of vegetables in our garden including radishes.
Pro tip: After harvesting cut the green tops off and the roots then store in water. Your radishes will stay crisp and retain moisture.
Radishes are super healthy. For their size, radishes are a good source of vitamin C, an antioxidant that may fight cellular damage that can lead to cancer and other diseases. They are full of fiber but low in calories.

Nothing says Easter like a brown striped turtleneck sweater🤣. Circa 1967 at my Grandmother`s. Weren`t the best Easter celebrations at your Grandparents house?
Have a blessed day with friends and family.

Laurel, Mississippi did not disappoint! This quintessential southern small town checked all the boxes! Stunning historic homes, the not-to-miss Lauren Rogers Museum of Art @laurenrogersmoa, quaint stores with local goods, and the warmest hospitality.
This self-guided walking tour is considered the largest, finest, and most intact collection of early 20th century architecture in Mississippi. It`s definitely City Beautiful. P.S. I might just make this my second home.

Trevor was a big help when I put together mini centerpieces for a dinner party last night. He loves to be wherever I am and that makes me happy. #trevorthecatwhowearsbowties
Flowers are from @traderjoes. I made six centerpieces for under $28. You can`t beat their prices or high quality.

What is your Easter tradition? Since my childhood, my mother would pull out her (now vintage) lamb cake mold to make the most beautiful confection with whipped snowy white frosting and coconut (Daddy`s favorite).
I still have Mother`s cake pan (thanks to Sister), but my twist is covering lamby with flowers from from our garden - Spirea, Azaleas, and ranunculas. Read my latest blog post for the cake recipe or comment LAMB and I`ll send you the link to read.🐑🐰

It`s spring cleaning - it started with carpet cleaning, then helping Mr. Twist clean out his office, now we have painters here. Jesus take wheel! It will be nice once it`s done...but Lordy it`s a mess. Happy Sunday!
Quiz: Maureen McGovern sang this popular theme song of 70s disaster film _______?👇
