Not Your Mother’s Milkshake

I love a fun new dessert trend. Usually I’m not one for the word “trend,” but I do believe that serving dessert in a unique way or offering something unexpected, is a great way to enhance an event without too much extra effort or expense. For example, the donut wall. Genius. Kids love them (soContinue reading “Not Your Mother’s Milkshake”

Derby with Draper

Giddy-Up Y’all! It’s finally that time of year again when I can wear an over-the-top, massive hat during the day in Nashville, and it’s totally normal. It’s Steeplechase friends, and for those of you who aren’t familiar with this long-standing Nashville tradition, it’s our version of the Derby (on a MUCH smaller scale). Everyone donsContinue reading “Derby with Draper”

Mother’s Day Brunch

I’m not going to lie and tell you that I host the perfect Mother’s Day brunch, lunch, or even a snack. Since becoming a mother myself, I always request to eat out for Mother’s Day. I barely want to get out of my pajamas on the one glorious day of the year that’s “all aboutContinue reading “Mother’s Day Brunch”

Let’s Delegate, Y’all!

  “The boobs aren’t real, but the pearls are.” As soon as I heard this quote from a dear friend of mine, who is about as southern and fabulous as it gets, I knew I had found my personal tagline. I’d like to start by introducing myself, Mrs. Southern Social, as the hostess with theContinue reading “Let’s Delegate, Y’all!”
