Hey Y’all!

Posted 01/19/2011 by Samma in Just for Fun, Newlywed Life \ 10 comments

A Tennessee girl with an eye for real estate, penchant for teen soaps, and an addiction to Southern food, you can usually find me making a mess in the kitchen (much to my husband's chagrin), having an impromptu party, or burying my nose in a book. Read about all my adventures in entertaining and daily musings at Spice and Sass!

I am so excited to be a contributor to EAD Living.  Now that the holiday rush has passed us by, I combat with winter blues with lots of projects and cooking, all of which I am dying to share with you!  So, to introduce myself-

I’m Samma (also known by my full name, Samma Faye, after both my grandmothers).   Pictured with me is my new rescue golden retriever, Buddy (also known by his full name, Buddy Bear).  I’m a relatively newlywed.  My husband and I got married in May 2009 at my family’s home.

It was a wonderful ceremony, under the oak tree where my husband, Hubs, proposed.  It was also a rocking party-

Hee.

Anyway, after the wedding was over, I began a blog to release any and all creative urges which were not without an outlet.  I’m a business lawyer by day, which does not exactly fulfill my artistic needs.

Hollow-legged when it comes to bacon and wine, I am happiest puttering around my kitchen.  An East Tennessean (go Vols!), and Georgia grad (go Dawgs!), I cook a lot of Southern food.

And go to a lot of SEC football games.

Hubs and I just purchased a new house this summer, so I’m having a lot of fun transforming our “move-in ready” rancher.  Also, learning how to garden.  Which is quite the learning process for this black thumb.

We throw a lot of parties, some of which are planned. . . and some not so much.  However, with at least five friends engaged or pregnant at any given moment, there are a lot of celebrations to be thrown!

So next post, pour yourself a glass wine, get out your wooden spoon and possibly dancing shoes, and we will have a party.  Well, a virtual party.  Over the internet.

Hmmm. That sounds a bit inappropriate.  Let’s rephrase.

I am so excited to post all about parties, recipes and entertaining!    Better?   Nice to meet you and thanks for reading!

    So glad you’ll be contributing here! You couldn’t be more adorable and I’m excited to follow along.

    (Side note: You don’t remind me a bit of any character from a creepy 1970s “children’s” film that still haunts me. Not even the sweet, singing orange ones!)
