North Carolina is known for many things—rich barbecue traditions, bitter basketball rivalries, and moonshine as smooth as a mountain stream—but one of my favorite treasures often flies under the radar: fish camps. The post Fish Camps appeared first on Where The Dogwood Blooms ..read more

Waking up to a blanket of snow yesterday sent me down memory lane. Folks always act surprised when we get snow in North Carolina. Not me. Maybe it’s because of the years I spent in Canton, where snow is more common. But I still remember plenty of snow days in Wilmington and Fayetteville, too. Not nearly as many, but enough to rack up a few good memories. The post Snow Days appeared first on Where The Dogwood Blooms ..read more

On Boxing Day, I loaded up the girls and hit the road for the Clark family’s annual after-Christmas shopping trip—a tradition that’s become as much a part of our holidays as unwrapping presents. It’s something I picked up from Mama, who used to take me on these outings when I was a teenager. Now, I’m carrying it on with my own crew.

Like most Southern women, I have a full-blown obsession with Steel Magnolias. Funny, dramatic, and heartfelt. It checks all the boxes. Plus, it's spot-on with its depiction of Southern life. The post My Very Own Truvy Jones appeared first on Where The Dogwood Blooms ..read more
