What Grandma Drinks usually highlights an adult beverage or two, but this post is different; this post is about my morning joe.

I love this series, don’t you? Grandma Drinks! Yeah, she does. Calling all slushes discerning imbibers…HELLO! Fine. Pretend not to lurk in the liquor aisle while I discuss this amazing find. ~Deep Eddy Sweet Tea Vodka~ Every Southern heart just swooned. Take a minute. Breathe. Reread if necessary. Ready?

Good friends make you believe you aren’t alone in the expanse of this world. Good friends are there even when physically absent, hell even in death. Good friends tell you …
I wrote this post on vulnerability in the winter, a couple of days after Sweet E had been born and I offer it now in my “What I Will Tell Sweet E” series. (spattering of NSFW language) Vulnerability The “v” word is a tough one for me. I was brought up to be a lady …
