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!

p.s. If you’re anal retentive like me, you’ve already started thinking about Christmas shopping. Tiny Tag Designs has generously extended their special sidebar ad here on Blonde Mom Blog with the 20 percent discount code. So go click on the and pick up a little sumpin’ sumpin’ for the woman in your life!

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.
