Happy Father's Day!!

Sending out a happy father's day to all you dads. Hope you have a great one. My daughters woke up this am very very happy and excited to see their daddy open his gifts. They made him a coffee mug with their hand prints on it, the bigger girls made him coasters as well. We also go him a new Polo and some khakis. He will look very nice tonight when we go out to eat with is dad (woohoo, can you feel how excited I am to eat with the father in law and the step-mother in law). I made him a big ol country breakfast. Country ham, bacon, gravy, grits with homemade biscuits. It was yum!

Southern Snobbery

Ok ya'll, I have been, to say the least obsessed with blogs as of late. Not like my kids are hungry and dirty obsessed, but I love to read em. Like a little voyeur peeking into someones life window. Anywhoo, being that I'm a southern lady and am raising southern women of the future, I love the preppy and southern blogs. I feel like us Southern ladies know preppy very well and that being a southern lady it's just the nature of the beast here. So do northern folks get preppy like us (I know gasp, now breath}????? Don't we have like a patent on pearls, mint julep cups, monogramming, SEC football and all that jazz? My children and I say ma'am, we Never do rude thing in public, say please and thank you, we brush our teeth then say our prayers. I mean we live and breath the southern way of life. Just tonight we had an in prompt to girls night at my house and it was complete with a Lilly theme a full spread of cheeses, dips, drinks (of adult and children in nature} on the patio over looking our pool and the lake. In just a few hours I can do this, so southern of me. Not to ramble, but I was reading a blog about a preppy mom and then read her profile and she is from a northern state a way northern state and I was like OMG, will the ladies brigade come get me??? I mean what do they know of smocking, hair bows, monogramming, madras, pearls, and our wonderful southern customs, church, daddy and momma? I had a not southern woman ask me once "by the way, whats with the hairbows on your girls that have to match every outfit they have and why are they so big?", I tell ya'll I about fell out. Anywho, what do ya'll think, btw, I have had a few and may sound crazy. Just gettin all territorial. So is it a southern thing or is it a state of mind and not the state you live in????
