Indulging yourself in the "good" things of life! This blog is taking on a new purpose: to enrich and motivate women to be their best selves, physically, spiritually, and emotionally. Feel free to comment freely!
So really.... What make it southern?
Growing up in Virginia with an exquisite grandmother, a true blue "southern belle," there was something unique... something that society has degraded as "old school" but something each and every girl, and lady need. Whether it was good posture, sitting like a lady, cooking "simply indulgent" food which means it must have an abundance of sugar, butter, or cream, how to keep a house, or how to dress fashionable and still maintain modesty.... to be a "southern belle" according to my Mamaw. She knew the craft of painting, knitting, music, how to listen to people, when to bite her tongue and when to be opionionated and how to be a great mother and grandmother. This blog is to motivate all women to be better mothers, daughters, sisters, and wives...... Let's enjoy the journey!!!
Disclamer
Silly but I guess necessary... Many of my posts are not authentically mine but have been wonderfully shared by family, friends, and other bloggers. Some ideas started in my brain and then were brought to pass by wonderful talented people that fill my life. Variations have been made by my own ever creating mind..... "which somehow does not work so well when it come to cleaning up after the fact?"
This is so special. I have several of Mamaw's recipes so will share them with you so you can put them up. I also have pics of her that I know the guests would enjoy. She was an amazing woman. She moved back to Va.with her two sons ages 12 and 11 to be raised by herself and her parents. She opened a Boarding house where Dick and Hoot changed the many beds before they left for school. Of course Mamaw's southern cooking was the highlight of each guest's day. She was well known for her fried chicken...I can remember when I first moved here from Utah/Calif. I devoured her Southern Friend Chicken. I have yet to eat anything like hers. Her Biscuits and gravy were also to die for... Now approaching Xmas, her pound cake was famous and she always had to touch it off with sprinkled powdered sugar with marischino cherries on toothpicks on the top of the pound cake. She topped it off with holly going around the cake stand. A must...Such wonderful memories.
