How she describes herself, and what you might find in her blog: A young southern lady who loves to smile, socialize and cook. Give me a few minutes of your time and you might know my life story. Honestly, I’ve never met a stranger and I believe if you’ve got something to say, then you should say it. I love cooking a home cooked southern meal for my man and I’m guilty of saying y’all all the time. I’ve been called a “social butterfly” and that’s how Confessions of a Southern Socialite came to be.

How she describes herself, and what you might find in her blog: I am a daughter, a best friend, and a shoe lovin’, purse buyin’, budget bustin’ shopper at heart! I’m a child of the most high God and I have a passion for leading young children, youth and adults to Christ. Most of all, I’m a work in progress waiting for my next adventure in His time!

How she describes herself, and what you might find in her “Love, Sidney” blog: Life is a hoot and worth living to the fullest. That’s not to say it doesn’t have its share of bumps…it certainly does, but as a counselor, I know the value of talk therapy and, as a woman, I know the value of friends. I’m a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a child of God. I have balance. I’m still young enough to have fun but old enough to not need the social pretenses that comes with the days of young wifehood. I’m free! My prayer is that my family stays healthy, I improve the world each day, and that I arrive wherever I’m going wearing shoes that match! Join me…share with me…let’s have fun! Love, Sidney

How she describes herself, and what you might find in her blog: I am a hard working wife who has been happily married for 20 something years and the mother of a 20 year old college student as well as a teenager. Now that my kids are getting older and my hubby unofficially retired, I am attempting a career in broadcasting. I am about to become a bridesmaid again for the 8th time (ironic since I have never been a bride, yet I have been married for so long) and I will be 29 again in March. All my life “Angie Lu” is what my family have called me and I proudly share that with you since I am a true Southern Belle and proud of it. My daily motto is Live, Love and Laugh. So as I get busy putting more bandaids on the wounds life hands us, crossing the bridges that connect our lives and celebrate love as the bridesmaid, I can only hope you enjoy the journey as much as I do. Happy Living, Loving and Laughing, Angie Lu

How Angela describes herself and her blog: A sister, a mother, a rival, a best friend, an information junkie, oblivious. A dreamer, a realist, a believer just seeking His will for me. A procrasinator, a competitor, a country girl with city ways, a student, a mentor, a professional who thinks casual Fridays are a must, a fan. An anachronism, relevant, a cliche, an enigma, a wife with goofy songs and bedtime stories for my favs and one who is always striving toward giving you the best that I’ve got!

 

Click here to follow the blog of local community activist and grandmother Sandra Hammon:

How Sandra describes herself and her blog: Being retired, a grandmother, and a follower of local politics, I intend to fill my blog with interest from these topics. These, and of course whatever life brings to fill the day. That would consist of my love for the Lord, my family, home, and country. You also might catch a few vegetarian recipes here and there, and a few ‘not so veggie’ recipes, as one of my hobbies is cooking for a crowd. That, I do once a week for a senior group which is sweet enough to love anything I happen to stir up. Bless their hearts. I could list so many other interests, but why do that when I can just write tid-bits here and there. Discover with me what glorious things life has to offer. After all, finding moments, even the smallest of them, and sharing with one another is something we all need to do more often. So, let’s take a few moments and relax as we enjoy this journey we all walk together. ~Cha

Click here to follow the blog of Mandy Haynes:

How Mandy describes herself and her blog: Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Mandy Haynes. My goal here is to share blessings in my life from 12 years of wedded bliss to my wonderful husband and the adventures of four awesome children. That, and the fact we’ve been homeschooling for the past five years. Our priority is seeking to put God first in our lives individually, and as a family. I’m looking forward to sharing my ideas on frugality, organizational skills, cooking (especially make-ahead freezer meals!), methods for teaching through children’s learning styles, plus loads of other topics. Reading, that is when I get the chance to sit down with a good book, has always been a passion of mine. I also enjoy internet researching my interests to learn new ideas so as to apply them where it can help our family. I’m hoping that in sharing my walk with you, I can help in small ways to show how to apply learning tools in your life that have helped me along the way. And together, we can share just how great our God is!

How Juliet describes herself and her blog: I love my life! Some people say I have my hands full and some people call me Supermom… but, really, I am a woman who loves God and loves my family. My husband is wonderful and my 5 kids are amazing. On Sundays you can find me in church and during the week you can find me at home with my babies while my older kids are at school. Our Saturdays are spent on the soccer field or spending time as a family. What’s not to love? God has truly blessed me!
