I attended a wedding recently and it was great to see two young adults committing their lives to each other and to witness the excitement I could visualize in their sparkling eyes! Awe, so “in love”! I have alway enjoyed the food at social events. Don’t get me wrong, I love a whole-deal meal but sometimes small bites are just all I need. I love trying new appetizers and especially admiring all the new twists you see at fancy wedding venues. I was going to use the fancy word “hors d’oeuvres” but I had to Google to get the correct…

Good gracious, I’m amazed at the support I’ve received from my viewers on Douglasnow.com and Facebook and I’m very grateful. When you do what you love, it’s easier to do than most tasks. I looked today and just realized I had not posted any recipes since April 1. How can that be? Time surely gets away from me quickly. Spring has been beautiful but I can feel the heat coming on quickly. I enjoy getting out and planting flowers, herbs and such but I don’t have much of a yard right now to work in. We moved into my in-law’s…

Welcome to my page “At Home with Pam.” I had an opportunity to visit and record a video in the location of “Sweet Magnolia’s Children’s Shop” here in Douglas, Georgia, and to announce them to be our first “Business of the Month” for April. Wendy Russ, the owner, opened the store in November of 2023.  Sweet Magnolias offers clothing for both girls and boys that range from sizes newborn to 12, along with shoes, accessories, and toys.   Wendy states: “We pride ourselves on having fashionable, high quality clothing but with affordable prices.”  A play area is even available for…

Easter was a busy weekend, to say the least!   Coloring eggs, hiding eggs, wagon ride, cooking, eating and more eating!  I feel like a stuffed pig!  I had all intentions of starting a diet today but I’m backing out already and it’s just Monday afternoon!   I love to eat good food because it’s just GOOD!  That’s what we do in the South. My newest and most intimidating adventure will be producing a video for a local “Restaurant of the Month” and “Business of the month” for April.  Seeing myself on camera and hearing my slang voice could be scary!…

During the 2006-2008 period of time, I wrote a weekly recipe article in our local newspaper, “The Douglas News,” entitled “Cooking with Pam.” I’m not sure how many followers I had but I’ve had many friends and family encourage me to pursue that route again. I am a wife to Dwayne, a mother to Jessica, Hamp and Grant, and a Granna to Ella, Annaclaire, Henry, Briggs, Addie Grace and Jed. The grands are my heart and they so enrich my life. I love spending time with them and being a “yes” to anything they want! I love Jesus! I love…
