    How To Write A Thank You Note

    / 3 Comments

    In the South, a thank you note is an absolute must! It’s just like monograms, pearls and college football. I promise, if you forget to send one, the ladies will be whispering about you at the next garden party. Imagine getting mail, real physical mail. You skip down to the mailbox, open the door, and pull out a little envelope addressed specifically to you. Ecstatic, you race back to your living room and tear open the envelope. Inside is a small card with the words “Thank You” on the front. You open the card and read a beautiful, handwritten thank you note from someone you had given a very well…

    Really Easy Oven Roast Chicken

    / No Comments

    Really Easy Oven Roast Chicken Chicken is a staple in our house. We eat it in so many things and so many ways that we always have it on hand. I usually have boneless skinless breasts and thighs as well as bone in thighs in my freezer along with bags of cooked shredded chicken. I’ll let you in on a little secret, I get my chicken through Zaycon when they deliver to our community. It is excellent quality and you can’t beat the price. *Unfortunately Zaycon is no longer an option for Chicken.

    43 Things Only Girls With Curly Hair Understand

    / 4 Comments

    43 Things Only Girls With Curly Hair Understand Living here in the South, in case y’all didn’t know, it’s HUMID! Not just a little humid, it is tropical rain forest humid. For those of us with curly hair (that would be me) this is not conducive to a “good hair day”. People have told me for years to “work with what you have”, meaning if you have curly hair you should embrace it and wear your hair curly. For me, this means that I should just realize that I will never have a good hair day until that one or two days of the year where the humidity is below…

    Advice From A Farmer’s Wife

    / 5 Comments

    Wise Advice from a Farmer’s Wife Whenever you return a borrowed pie pan, make sure it’s got a warm pie in it. (This delicious and easy Creamy Coconut Custard Pie is a favorite) Invite lots of folks to supper. You can always add more water to the soup. There’s no such thing as woman’s work on a farm. There’s just work. Make home a happy place for the children. Everybody returns to their happy place. Always keep a small light on in the kitchen window at night.

    Derby Style Pie

    / 3 Comments

    Derby Style Pie Unfortunately, the Kentucky Derby has been postponed this year due to the Coronoavirus. It will be run in September instead of May. But….that doesn’t mean that we can’t still enjoy his wonderful Derby Style Pie. When I was growing up, my Mama and Daddy had race horses.  Now they were pretty good, but of course never made it to the “Derby”.  My parents loved going to the track to watch our horses run. Heck, my daughter Brianna, was just a baby when we would get her all dressed up and go to the track to watch the horses. Needless to say, the Kentucky Derby was sort of…

    These delicious crock-pot pinto beans are packed with a huge amount of flavor! They also are cooked in a crock-pot so they are super easy. Lately, I have been trying to clean out my freezer and pantry. If you’re anything like me, you have a lot of things in those places that you have completely forgotten about as they get shoved to the back. Well yesterday morning I came across a BIG ham bone in the freezer and a large bag of pinto beans in the pantry. I don’t know about you, but that was seemed like a sign from someone that I was supposed to make a big pot…

This is a great tool to use with your children when teaching them proper manners and etiquette while using the phone.

Many times the phone call IS the first impression. My EX husband, El Conquistador, has a real pet peeve with people that do not use the words “can” and “may”…
