    Proper Southern Manners Part 8 – (Being A Lady)

    / No Comments

Are her clothes dirty and  her hair a rats nest? Most likely you do not visualize any of those things when you picture a “lady”. I would really like to ask some of these girls that I see to do the same exercise and explain what it is that they see when they close their eyes. As it says below, some of this may seem a bit out dated, but if you think about it you are able to apply this…

    Kids Homemade Halloween Costumes

    / 2 Comments

    Remember when we were young and we used to make or have help making our homemade Halloween costumes? I honestly can’t remember my Mama and Daddy ever going out and spending money at a store on a costume. (Especially not the kind of money they are charging these days for children’s costumes). Well with that in mind we came across some really cute kids’ costumes on allyou.com, that are easy to make with your children. We just love cute little children in Halloween costumes, so please send us pictures of your little ghosties and goblins, fairies, and princesses or maybe even one of the costume ideas we posted here. We…

    Proper Southern Manners Part 6 (Maintaining Your Honor and Integrity) In part 6 of the Proper Southern Manners series we will be talking about two of the things we feel are MOST important, Honor and Integrity! Too many children (and adults to be honest) seem to have thrown these right out of the window. Again, these are snippets from a booklet and are by no means all inclusive. We felt that this would at least give us a good starting point. P.S. Make sure to watch for part 7 in the Proper Southern Manners series, “Being a Gentleman” Maintaining Your Honor and Integrity Keep your word – don’t tell someone you will do…

    Proper Southern Manners Part 5 (Courtesy Words and Actions)

    / No Comments

    Proper Southern Manners Part 5 (Courtesy Words and Actions) Common words of courtesy can take an individual a long ways these days since so few practice them.  Some of the common words and actions you will see in the South are: –         Say, “Yes sir,” “No sir,” or “Yes ma’am,” “No ma’am.” –         Always say, “Please,” “May I,” “Thank You,” “You’re Welcome,” “Excuse Me,” “Pardon Me.” –         A man  wearing a hat should take it off when indoors.  Coaches Paul “Bear” Bryant and Bum Phillips were known for not wearing their hats in enclosed stadiums such as the Superdome in New Orleans. –         A hat should also be removed (by…
