It has all the makings of your grandparents' Sunday dinner table— pork barbecue, fried chicken, fried shrimp and flounder, chicken and pastries, collards, lima beans, Brunswick stew, sweet tea, banana pudding, hush puppies— you get the drift.

Chasing Dreams
My blog— Hodge Podge (which shares the same name and stuffing as my podcast) will focus on my life as a military spouse living in my native home of North Carolina while raising a wild and lovable boy (age seven as of last week). It will include my pursuits as a creative writer; soon-to-be children's book author (Mommy's Big, Red Monster Truck coming to stores and internet downloads very soon); artisan and entrepreneur; podcaster (as aforementioned); novice traveler; historian wannabe; and lover of life and people. The above makes me sound a bit pretentious, doesn't it? A bit of an over-achiever and dreamer? I am hardly these things. Well, maybe the dreamer part is accurate. But truly, I am not a perfectionist. Nor am I some astute artsy farts snob. And definitely not a super right-wing "Hooah!" Army wife and Southern Belle. I am just who I am. A chick raised on the beautiful coast of North Carolina who loves her home state and all its precious treasures and LOVES to talk about them. A beach loving, independent, wild and unsaddled woman who by-accident became an Army wife; left her beach lifestyle for Fort Bragg (which was TERRIFYING), and most-surprisingly to her have grown quite affectionate of this life we've made here in Fayetteville despite the challenges of being a milspouse (and being landlocked of course).
