living my best possible southern life

Holly Hamilton has always been perturbed by the way her older sister, Ellen, seems to get everything. It’s especially tough living in the shadow of your sister’s cape when she’s a super heroine named Suprema! With one super-parent and one not, it was inevitable that the girls would turn out different. Unfortunately for Holly, she…

The title of the post just says it all doesn’t it? I mean really, who doesn’t love chocolate? Well if you are going to get chocolate you really should get yours from Chocolates by Joanne! Joanne was wonderful enough to send me a few samples to review. Let me say this first and foremost. this…

 The Valley of Heaven and Hell – Cycling in the Shadow of Marie-Antoinette, is  something of a different sort of book for me in that it’s travel but it’s travel on a bicycle. Susie Kelly has linked the journey to a historical journey, the route Marie Antoinette and her husband Louis XV1 took to escape…

    Susie finally graduated from her class and has become one of the youngest Guardian Angels. Of course Susie is 77 years old (even though she acts like she’s 12) but is the youngest and newest to gain Guardian status.  With her halo and status in hand Susie, along with her angel dog Sir…

  Finding those perfect, super cute tees for boys just is not as easy as if you are doing it for girls. That was until I came across Shirts That Go. They have it all everything from train shirts to to fire truck shirts. I was lucky enough to be able to review a Bulldozer…

How many times are you riding in the car with your kids and they make a mess while eating a snack? You know what I’m talking about. Those darn Cheerios spill and they go everywhere. Well not anymore now that I have found Munchie Mug!! I love this product. I’m not just talking about just…
