It’s no secret that I love my fellow bloggers and blog friends that I have met during NaBloPoMo. One, of my favorite people in the entire world, Jen Nelson Lane has a very successful blog called Hey Y’all. Jen and I met almost 10 years ago during graduate school at the University of Alabama.

Being raised in Alabama, we have peaches in Chilton County, [...]
