You’ve probably heard of the theory of six degrees of separation. It’s this idea that everybody and everything is connected by six degrees or less. There even used to be a social media site around this back in the late 90s, early 2000s (it’s where I met my husband, actually). In the south, it’s a […]
We Southerners have a reputation for laziness in certain sectors. One of the most well-known is in how we deal with soft drinks. All soft drinks/pops/sodas (for you Yankees and midwesterners) are Coke. I actually come from a Coca-cola family (my great granddaddy owned a Coca-cola bottling plant in the Mississippi Delta forever ago), so it’s […]
I love this old abandoned store from Grits Photography. I keep wanting to take one and restore it for somebody in Wishful. It reminds me of what Taylor Grocery would be if there wasn’t so much love keeping it running. Also in the realm of southern, I’m getting back to my food blogging over at […]
I haven’t watched the first episode of Season 4 yet (that’s my plan for lunch today), but I’ve been eagerly awaiting it. Hart of Dixie is one of those shows that kind of snuck in and got under my skin last year. Right after New Year’s, I was struck with a hideous stomach flu and […]

Over the weekend, some girlfriends and I drove up to Aberdeen, MS for a holiday open house. Aberdeen is right around the size of my fictional town, Wishful, so I was really curious to see how they’d do things up for the holiday. I could tell as we were walking around downtown, that I’ve spent […]
I’m up to my eyeballs in the final stretch of my book, so I’m turning this over to three other writers who have captured the absolute effervescent joy I’m feeling over the Ole Miss and Mississippi State victories this past Saturday. 1. One big Saturday in Mississippi: Ole Miss upsets Alabama as Mississippi State […]
Because, OMG I need a laugh today, and I’m short on time…Episode 3!
I’m on the road today, so I leave you with more of my favorites from the Southern Women Channel on Youtube.
So, this is one of my absolute FAVORITE web series. When I discovered it, I blew through every single episode they’d made, crying I was laughing so hard. <3 This is Episode 1.
