Managing Life with Grace and Ease….or Maybe NOT!

ABOUT ME

I’m a Southern Lifestyle blogger and vlogger from the Nashville, TN area. Currently working FT as a Payroll Manager for a local Nashville area manufacturing company, as well as managing Less Hustle More Coffee Southern Lifestyle Vlog and Blogs.

Married to “Hubby George” for 31 years, who is a purchasing agent for a global mining company, and fondly referred to as “Chef George” as he loves to cook… and does most of the cooking. We have a daughter, Katy who is married to Cody and living on a ranch in Texas along with our grandson, River, who I refer to as “Little Roo” on the blog. We love traveling to Texas any time we can to visit our Texas crew.

We have a new ruler of the household, a Golden Retriever/Beagle Mix puppy dog named “Dexter” that we rescued in May of 2022. He keeps our world hopping. We have a senior black cat named “Little Bit” who can be a “little bit” of a troublemaker on occasion – can’t forget him!

In 2021, we moved my mother to live near us in a new villa built about 20 minutes away. She no longer drives, is partially blind, and we help maintain her care along with her aging poodle, Fancy.

George and I are looking forward to our retirement upcoming. After a stressful 30 years of having a Human Resources Career, I finally switched to a much less stressful role in Payroll and Accounting and love it. I spend my weekends being geeky, writing this blog, making and editing videos, making plans with George, taking care of Momma, and spending time with our fun loving, cocktail sipping, music-loving -foodie friends. I enjoy reading, traveling, and watching other’s YouTube Videos – usually those that sail or travel, but I’m kinda geeking out on those tech gurus out there and those creative others that also vlog their lifestyle and share.

What you see here, much like life, takes on many forms and will change from day to day. I share life lessons, restaurant reviews, fun cuisine, brewery and winery excursions, fun ways to decorate, ways to de-stress, share friend and family time, and sometimes a bit of humor. God sets my paths, and He will be here among these pages. True to the blogs name, I seek ways to relax and sip coffee or have a glass of wine. And sometimes complain about it if I can’t find any time to myself. :-O

Journaling and capturing my day has been the best and most lasting hobby I have ever had, as it has led me to so many other hobbies and it keeps opening doors for me.
