It’s funny, I don’t really consider myself a mom from the Deep South (I don’t like sweet tea, which is probably blasphemous, or belong to the Junior League), but nonetheless I find myself still calling my mama and daddy mama and daddy and last night I “hollered” at one of our neighbors: “I love ya’lls new porch!”
So there you have it. Southern I am ya’ll.
Read about my quest to tone down the twang at work over at Deep South Moms. I also wrote recently about ways to prepare for your next job interview at Blissfully Domestic.
At Savvy Housewife I’m posting giveaways every Monday. This week’s giveaway is for a plush toy from Douglas Toys. I’m also starting a new Save and Tell feature with frugal shopping tips and I hope you’ll do a little frugal show and tell while you’re there.
Don’t forget to comment on the GILF photo from Wednesday (Joe Francis eat your heart out).
Have a great weekend!

By the way, I’m not a southerner but I’m a Junior Leaguer all the way. You should drink the kool-aid, it’s great!

I love sweet tea but never joined Junior League…don’t think we were fancy enough for that.
I holler at my kids all the time and I say mash when I mean press.
And when I was working, I always paid attention to my accent because people that aren’t from the South automatically think Southerners are dumb.
My husband was actually shocked to find out I was born and raised in NC because I don’t have a pronounced accent.

Some parts will always stick with you. To this day, I say Y’all, and I haven’t lived in the south in over thirty years. I don’t holler, but I understand perfectly what it means to ‘reckon so’.
My mom and all my aunts and uncles are southern. I grew up in a house full of “Sugar” and “Honey” and “My stars!”
Heh.
