About Me

Hi, Iโm Tracey, the voice behind Two Southern Sweeties.
Iโm turning 60, raising my grandson, wrangling four dogs, and figuring out what midlife really looks like.
ย This blog is for women who know life doesnโt end at 50, it just gets more interesting.
- Recipes that actually work on busy nights
- Home projects that make your space feel cozy
- Real talk about money, health, and independence
If you like honesty with a side of humor, youโll fit right in.
If youโre new here, you can start with my most popular recipes, check out my favorite home projects, or join my email list to get updates every week.
Join over 6000+ readers getting weekly recipes, midlife tips, and encouragement.
Hi, Iโm Tracey. I share simple recipes, cozy home ideas, and reflections on life after 50. Letโs make this season of life our most meaningful yet.

You asked for products that viewers are selling in the Flower Slide Show. I am an artist and author. My art is shown on fineartamerica.com at http://karen-francis.fineartamerica.com I am also trying to make a feature film now called Christmas Ride.

Unfortunately the link you have provided to your site is being blocked due to it possibly being dangerous for computers. Perhaps you didn’t know that and could have a check to see if you could fix it so that we could feature your art.

Aileen, I met you @ the car show in Red Boiling Springs and bought an overalls apron and the one and only Tye dyed Flower t-shirt your daughter made. We’ll it was a huge hit when I showed it off to everyone when I got home. Anyway I could get more flower t-shirts? By the way, my husband loved the apron! Susie

There should have been a white box that came up when you came to our blog that allowed you to enter your name and email address. If not, I would be happy to add you if you would give me your email address. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Make it a great day!

Hello southern sisters,
I just found this blog tonight. Totally by accident. And I am thrilled! And I am relocating to North Carolina mid November! I am so excited I can hardly stand it. Will be living near Cape Hatteras, about 30 miles inland. I look forward to more of your posts and communicating with you. You have a lovely way of writing, that makes me feel like I know you. And I love the sesame chicken recipe I just copied. Now I have to get the pot. The pressure cooker.
Warmly,
Jo Anna

Hey Jo Anna!!!
We will be here with a nice cold sweet tea waiting on ya here in North Carolina.
Also, I just made that Sesame Chicken recipe again the other night. My husband can’t get enough LOL. I did at some steamed broccoli which just made it even better. Girl, if you don’t have an Instant Pot yet, you have got to get one. They are fantastic!! Hurry!!! https://amzn.to/2x05OA1
Make it a great day!!

Y’all are so cute, I can’t stand it. Having moved from Richmond to a small mountain town outside LA, you were just what the doctor ordered! Been parked here with dreams of a southern return for over 16 yrs. I believe the good Lord guided me today to your site for a remote baptism. It’s amazing how people don’t get the South but it’s what they yearn for.

Make it a great day!
