Thanks for all the wonderful creative comments.
Wonder Nut (A.K.A. Ella) wrote her name once in block and what some have said is in cursive…but that’s pushing it a little.
Momisodes is the lucky winner of one of my favorite Yankee Candles (Island Spa)….hopefully it will allow her conjure up some memories of sun and sand and shake off some of Boston’s cold.
This is my 26 month old, Ella (A.K.A Ella Bella, Puddin’ Pop, Sugar Lump, Wonder Nut.)
She is a complex child who has yet to sleep all night.
She is slowly trying to kill me with sleep deprivation.
She is also very smart…and I know y’all are all thinking ’cause my baby daddy was all up in the National Problem Solving Team in middle school (will I ever stop hearing that???)…but I’m telling y’all…
IT’S ALL BECAUSE OF ME!!!
Y’all can stop laughing now…it wasn’t that funny!
Her pediatrician has been telling me for the past year that her IQ was off the charts. But you know, living with “Wonder Boy Rico”, I’m used being around the higher echelon of intelligence and didn’t think a thing about it until…
She did this last week…
So, here’s how you can win …
You comment on what fabulous thing Wonder Nut did and I will bestow the winner with the fabulous Island Spa Yankee Candle. It smells like the beach and makes you want to drink lots of margarita’s…not that I need candles that smell like the beach for an excuse to drink a margarita…but it sure does set the mood.
The Fabulous Ms. Pissy at http://southerncircleofhell.blogspot.com.com is the winner of the retro apron. For all of you that know Pissy…you know she will be stylin’ in that rockin’ apron.
Thanks to everyone who commented.
I will say that Farm Chick was a close runner up but then she went and made that nasty comment about the goats and the Ex-Lax…and I just had to take her name out of the pot. Besides, I’ve already bestowed an apron on her and all her fabulousity.
Pissy, drop me an email and let me know your address and I’ll ship it right out.
Stay tuned and tell your friends…you never know what’s coming next!!!!
I found this fabulous apron at an Etsy store called Comfortably Crazy. It’s so chic…like me. I look fantabulous wearing it…and you can too. 
Drum roll, please!
My fabulous friend, Farm Chick over at It’s a Small Town Life, sent me this great cookbook a couple of months ago…’cause she’s just that kind of girlfriend.
Anyhoo, I have enjoyed it so much…especially the front cover. It just looks so fabulous in my kitchen and it has some great southern recipes.
To enter the contest, leave a comment about your favorite southern dessert ( or any dessert) from your childhood. Was it homemade ice cream? Your grandmother’s Jam Cake? Do you have your grandmother’s secret recipe and refuse to share it with the rest of the family?
My favorite? That’s really hard ’cause I have SO many. I guess one that really sticks out in my mind is my mom’s Red Velvet Cake….oh, and then there’s my Aunt Joann’s chocolate fudge…and iron skillet chocolate pie.
Don’t worry…you can leave more than one.
I'm a 30-ish bottle blond...hanging on to my sanity and youth by my fingertips. I'm trying to raise my children right like my parents taught me. I try to have it all together but fail miserably.
