I’m excited that another one of my friends has made the jump to the dark side. Southern Girl<\/a> is one of the Original Playgroup* Mom friends from when I first moved to North Carolina in July 2005.<\/p>\n

She’s your classic North Carolina-born-and-bred lady, and her storytelling is all the proof you need that’s she’s a Southern Belle through and through.<\/p>\n

I’ll definitely miss her from way out here in Nebraska, and it’s made my day that she now has a blog.<\/p>\n

*History lesson<\/strong>: I call it the “Original Playgroup”. When I first moved into our NC neighborhood, the first thing I did when we were over the unpacking stresses was take our boys to the neighborhood pool. This was about a week after our furniture was delivered. Within an hour I meet Dawn and her two sons who were the same ages as my two sons. Within another hour the boys and I are invited to join Dawn and several other neighborhood Moms of 2-3 year olds in a once-per-week playgroup. Through this playgroup I also met Wendy<\/a>, Southern Girl<\/a>, Julie and Carrie. We’ve watched our kids grow up together since summer 2005 and I’m glad for e-mail and blogging to keep up from across the country.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
