living my best possible southern life

One thing that seems to happen a lot around my house is that my mother loses her key all the time. She has lost the one to the laundry room as well. I think it has more to do with her getting older than it does with her simply misplacing it. Although she is real…

  Okay you all have seen this sort of hat in the past. Chances are you most likely made fun of someone wearing a hat like this at least once. I do it to my brother every single time that he wears his and my daddy had a very special name for a hat this…

  Have I told you all how much the people in my home love coffee? Well let me explain, it is loved so much around here that we actually have a commercial coffee maker among the three coffee makers that we have. This is makes 40 cups of coffee! You read that correctly, 40 cups….

I told you not long ago about a book series that sucked me and let me searching for all of the other books like a crazy woman in the middle of the night. That series is Lost Highlander and I thought now I would share my thoughts with you. Lost Highlander (Book 1) was one…

It’s finally here! My review of Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon! This is the sequel to Outlander and although I have already read through all of the books I have been spacing my reviews out a bit (okay mostly I have been rereading the books but give a gal a break!) I will admit when…

  I don’t wear perfume often. Mostly because I have allergies and can’t take a lot of perfume but I have an event coming up and well I wanted to smell nice. So when I was given the chance to try out Scentbird I jumped at it. Scentbird allows you to discover a new perfume…

Today is that big day and while I don’t normally watch a lot of my football I do have plenty of football parties! You know me, any excuse to get together.  When LTD Commodities asked me to check out their football party supplies and see if anything would work for me. Boy would it ever!…
