Apparently, I'm not so good at this blogging thing--especially since I thought I would have all this extra time while I am off for the summer!  It's been a little over a month since my initial post.  And I would like to say I've been super busy, but, truthfully, other than a week of vacation, I've been mostly busying myself watching Mad Men and reading.

Not an altogether bad thing in my opinion:)

I hope to update a little more often and really use this venue as an outlet.

So, why "sweet tea and collard greens" for a title you might ask?  Well, since my primary reason of starting this blog was to discuss all things "mom", I thought what two things best describe mothering to a southerner?

Sweet tea is delicious, refreshing, and well, sweet.

Collards are bitter, full of vinegar and an acquired taste, but for those who like them, still delicious!

Alas, my summary of parenting!

I love being a mom.  Of course, I don't really know anything else being I had my first at the ripe (i.e., too young!) age of 19. Nonetheless, it can be downright painful at times, physically, but most of all, emotionally.

I'm the proud mama of two girls--17 year old "Sass" and 8 year old "Sugar".  They couldn't be any more different, but I love them both to pieces.  I also have a super cute and supportive hubby who partners with me in this journey.  We will call him "The Hubs" :)

Thanks for reading--The Hubs will be home from work soon, so I must ready myself for our weekly trip to Lowe's  (a married couple's idea of a hot date...)
