Hello World...

In April, I began a blog about 25 things that I want to do in my 25th year of life.  I have been enjoying my blog quite a bit and occasionally I have thought of something I'd like to post that maybe isn't along the same lines as my "bucket list".  That is how Southern Sunshine was born.

So Hello!  I'm Sunshine and yes, that is my real name.  I was named by one of the most amazing women I have ever known, my Grandmother.  She passed away last July and I miss her every single day.  She instilled a love of many things Southern in me and for that, I will always be thankful.  The most important of these, in my opinion, is my love of cooking.  I enjoy it and I like to think that occasionally I do it well.  She also taught me the art of entertaining and how to host a great event!

I am hoping to share my love of food, gardening, and entertaining with all of you!  I don't want this to turn into any "type" of blog and hope to just let it grow and evolve on it's own.  So Hello!  Nice to meet y'all!  Come on in and let me make you some sweet tea!
