I hope you pick Dixie Delight's Amanda! She would be perfect. The parties, the decorating, those cute boys would all be a perfect addition for the Paula Deen bloggers.

I enjoy Amanda at Dixie Delights. I spend a lot of time at home due to caring for an ill relative. When I was out more, I would visit friends, get ideas for decorating and projects. Amanda's blogging fills that spot. She is like having a neighbor that I can visit without leaving home. I think that her blog old be an asset to your grouping of blogs. Thanks for everything you do and offer.

Well, when I say "seems it is what I am meant to do" - let me say that at least it is one of the things in life that brings me a lot of happiness! I'm sure you other writers feel the same way. Has anyone heard when the announcement will be?

'Poured my heart and soul into my entry. This type of writing is my passion; 'seems it is what I am meant to do. I have great admiration for Paula and her team. I have much love for my other gigs but this one would be a dream come true.

I love reading about your family and seeing your pictures. I respect the fact that you are teaching your son's family values because so much of that seems to be going by the wayside anymore..maybe someday we will meet and by that time your son's may even have their own cooking show.lol..wishing you lots and lots of love from this country girl's kitchen to Brooke Deen's kitchen of love.
