I think it came from text communication that leaked into my everyday verbal communication - y'all is shorter that "you guys."<br /><br />I love learning and seeing your New England life in your blog. :)<br /><br />I can definitely relate to the Catholic upbringing though (and boy am I happy to not have to worry about my Friday meals now that Lent is over!).Bree at Clarity Definedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08096737995080439327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707332630639933436.post-5331438584396852832017-04-17T12:24:59.068-04:002017-04-17T12:24:59.068-04:00This is fabulous!

Your blog is one I keep going back to, again and again, because you keep it real. Your kids are normal happy little girls who dress how they want and play with what they want. Your photos are beautiful - and they're of your life and your world, the same as mine are. Your prose is relatable. I think we'd be friends in real life. I just really appreciate your blog, and I don't comment enough to say it - but I do.<br /><br />Thanks, Sarah!<br /><br />Liz (@liz_hawksworth on IG)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707332630639933436.post-7681432947467622092017-04-15T07:36:19.018-04:002017-04-15T07:36:19.018-04:00Haha, so, you mean you don't say "y'a...Haha, so, you mean you don't say "y'all"? 😂😂😂 I'm from Georgia, so that's normal for us. However, I am from Atlanta, so I am very far from "country" or "southern". I actually say "you guys" a lot too!Farahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11400441860748044457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707332630639933436.post-30945840884849561312017-04-14T21:57:01.513-04:002017-04-14T21:57:01.513-04:00I don't remember how I found your blog, but I&...I don't remember how I found your blog, but I've read for several years. My daughter is 11 and my son is almost 9.5, so I enjoyed seeing your normal posts about different stages of life, although you had it times 3! I'm not from Boston, but worked for a Boston based company and understand the lingo! I don't want "Dear my blog friends!" It feels fake! I'm working to restart my blog and trying to find my voice. Keep doing what you are doing, I love it!

I love your blog because it reminds me of my roots. You are true to yourself and I love the reminders of Boston and even the different nuances I sense thru your writing. And you're spot on in your charicature for the other parts of the country. I really have changed since moving away, but it still makes me laugh to read your blog. A friend recently moved to Attleboro and she just kept posting the funniest stuff, she'd be just totally flaberghasted about Boston drivers, for instance, and say, "is that how people really are there?!" But "being real" is a Boston thing too. For sure. Most of the rest of the country is not. Now we live in a small farm community in the Midwest and local people really say what they think and aren't so afraid to be themselves. It reminds me slightly of that same attitude. Minus the sarcasm. Anyhow, thanks- love you blog!Schaefer Clanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06011849688297615029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707332630639933436.post-52215462165306955342017-04-14T17:01:10.827-04:002017-04-14T17:01:10.827-04:00I'm from Charleston (SC) and I wouldn't be...I'm from Charleston (SC) and I wouldn't be caught dead saying "dear sweet readers," (sounds like a nineteenth century domestic novel) but you're right. It is a Southern thing. Southern ladies like to act sweet in a really strange way. <br /><br />Smocked clothing might be a southern thing too. I love sweet, plain smocked dresses but not for every day! t's<br /><br />Anyway, I like your style. All that "sweet readers" stuff is fake and I don't like fake. How much energy must one burn putting on facades? just be real. That's why your blog is special.

And yes I am from NJ. I think the only reason that I still follow your blog is because it is real. When mine were younger, I read so many "mommy blogs" and quite honestly they made me feel inadequate. I struggled with work, the house, the running around, the juggling etc. and while we enjoyed our life it didn't look anything like some of those blogs. <br /><br />So yes please, please stay real :) Tracey's Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07512693776962496118noreply@blogger.com
