Read All About It!

Posted in news by

I’m honored to be included in this inspirational book, “Women of True Grit”, by author, speaker, filmmaker, media personality, business woman, and my friend and mentor, Edie Hand.

I am grateful for the opportunity to share my story and hopefully something about it will inspire someone else to realize that it is never too late to find your true self. We all have struggles and events that have happened to us and it is through these difficulties that we find our grit to overcome them and create the life we desire and become the woman we want to be.

I am humbled to be in the company of the amazing women profiled in this book and their stories inspire me to keep believing in myself.

“Women of True Grit”, is the perfect gift to give a woman in your life. It is available for pre-purchase at Amazon as well as Barnes and Noble and Books-A-Million. I hope you will order your copy today.

Women of True Grit is a sisterhood that believes in women supporting women.

I don’t trust this warm weather we are having. It’s just like a lover that shows up unexpectedly and leaves just as abruptly, leaving you feeling colder than ever. Read all about it in this classic column of mine from B-Metro Magazine.

SUNny DAY POST: Read all about it! ~ The Testimonial of “An Invisible Woman”.

Posted in Always Entertaining!, B-Metro Column, On Page, photos, SUNny DAY Post by

BMetro619coladIn honor of my most recent birthday I shared some thoughts on being a “Woman of a Certain Age” in my latest column for B-Metro Magazine.

In just about every area of life from media, entertainment, fashion, beauty, music, you name it, once a woman reaches the age of fifty she seems to completely disappear from society. Only the advertisers seem to be able to find me! They are constantly letting me know that they have the remedy to my “aging problem”. And, of course I fall for it every time! I’m always trying every product they pitch. No matter what, though, I still seem to get another year older. And, for that I am grateful. So, here’s my “Testimonial of a Woman Over 50”. I hope it gives you a laugh line! ~ And happy birthday to all the women turning invisible this year! Welcome to the club! #aninvisiblewoman ~ Sunny

In honor of National Martini Day I have cooked up something extra special and serving up some fun wearing my fun, new apron that I created for the dish that doesn’t cook, but still likes the dressing! 😉 You can get your very own by clicking the apron link below. I hope you enjoy the video ~ and the apron! ~ Cheers! Sunny xo

P.S. I have lots of other fun products available featuring the same design so make sure to browse around while you’re shopping at my Zazzle boutique:) Thank you so much, Sunny!

This post is for my fellow tea party lovers out there. As I have mentioned before, I love the whole idea of Afternoon Tea. And, if I can combine it with a visit with a girlfriend then it’s made even more special. I recently got to do just that when I threw an Un-Birthday Tea Party for my girlfriend, Vicki. We have been friends since we were two years old and went to nursery school together all the way through high school graduation! So, can you imagine my disbelief when I realized that I mistakenly wished her a happy birthday ten days after her b’day?! I got the wrong day! This called for a very special make-it-up-to-her party! So, I threw her an Un-Birthday Tea Party! 

Your Tea Party hostess with the mostest! 🙂 I got this cute spring floral maxi dress from Steinmart.
Set a pretty Tea Table ~ I set up outside in my courtyard. Luckily the weather cooperated! Use your prettiest serving pieces. And, remember to have flowers!
The other star of the Tea Table is a Victoria Sponge Cake. This is a Raspberry Jam Cake. Amazing! I will post the recipe.

I enjoy any reason to entertain (on and off the stage!) so I had great fun planning all the details of this very special occasion for my very special friend. I hope you enjoy this little gallery of photos I took to document the festivities. And, maybe it will inspire you to celebrate one of your special girlfriends with a beautiful tea party. Just don’t wait until you miss her birthday!!

*This lovely Tea Party would also be a perfect way to celebrate Mom on Mother’s Day!

SUNny DAY Post: X-Mas In July…….in August!

Posted in Christmas in July (Xmas in July), Cooking with Sunny, family, Recipes, Sunny and Hot in the Kitchen!, Sunny at Home, SUNny DAY Post, Sunny's Entertaining!, Sunny's Special Occasions by

It’s that time of year again! Actually, it was that time of year again last month for our annual X-Mas in July “Epic Southern Living Magazine Christmas Cake Baking Party!” However, this year one of my nieces couldn’t make it for any dates in July so we moved it to August. And, once again, it was a chaotic, but fun, success!

Here is the cake we decided to make this year:

Ta Da! We did it! The Southern Living Magazine Chocolate Citrus Orange Cake with Candied Oranges and Chocolate Ganache Filling!

This annual tradition came about a few years ago when I realized that Continue reading →
