Carolina Girls & Friends

Hey Y'all,
Thanks everyone for playing along - I have to admit this has been great fun meeting and greeting regarding all things Carolina. Even memories, friends, dreams. You've got it.

To all of my readers, friends, follows and those of you who accidentally clicked over (just joking - feel free to stay and enjoy the ride!) this blog is for you. In other words, do not feel like you have to be a Carolina Girl by any means than just you like popping by - that makes you part of us. So hang in there with us/hang out/ learn with us. :)

So as for Carolina Girls talk - One thing I am doing is putting together the lovely Rollcall/Blogroll. Some of us are not as quick as others - at some things. :) If you have not done so, please leave your link below in comments so I can include everyone. I am assuming this will take some time and I ask in advance for your patience as I perfect the list.

Next, I have a great idea, a Twitter friend wants to know what and where do we recommend things for her upcoming trip to Myrtle Beach. I loved my college days at Myrtle. With that said, that is so last century! If you know what I mean, so will you join me with any this century recommends. :) Because of course, we want to recommend only our Carolina Best to our friends.

Finally, who wants to get on the list to be featured here as a "Carolina Girl?" I will began featuring everyone interested in our Rollcall. So let me know and we'll get it started, it going to be great.

Just to remember that Mamas are the same wherever we go, I wanted to share this hilarious and interesting video. I do not advocate everything many things that Dooce advocates. Therefore, we can agree to disagree on many things. Sometimes her dry sense of humor is hilarious and some days I find something intriguing like this question, Wife or Mom, Which is Harder? Hopefully, you'll find both Wife and Mom are enjoyable and worth every effort. Go ahead and tell me, did you find this funny?! Interesting to see others' point-of-view on the topic? And what is your answer to this question?

As you can imagine, I am thankful for my beautiful life of blogging friends and particularly the new Carolina Girls Rollcall. Join us if you haven't and to share your beautiful life check out Hooked on Houses.

Have a great day and 'see ya' soon. Remember to Enter "Win It Wednesday!"

Warmly,

Hi! Welcome to Carolina Mama! I'm a mommy blogger who began blogging in the Summer '06 for a specific event and time in my life/the life of my family.
