I said I would never, never, never, NEVER get a momvan. I used to feel badly for moms who were forced to get momvans. I even “threatened” my husband that if he bought me one, I would completely let myself go. Like, for real, no showers, no gym, no “real” clothes, I’d just start wearing…

I am a SAHM of three girls. I love all things southern...I live in the deepest of the South! I am an accidental cook. Seriously, it was NOT my choice. But, once I started, I loved it. Well, not right away. I love talking about motherhood, but with a bit of a spin! My stories are true. Yet, some may seem like they're not. Oh, they are. I've been told my stories make other moms feel better about themselves! Thank....you.... Seriously, please, let my disfunction make you feel functional! Thank y'all for stopping by!!
It’s All Greek To Me
It’s summertime…well, at least in Mississippi it is. So, let’s talk about going to the beach. I love going to the beach. Well, I’m far too fair to “love” the beach. I enjoy sitting under the umbrella drenched in 100 SPF and watching people and watching people watch me. Let’s talk about that for a…

A Debutante Takes D.C.
Let me talk about my intern experience for a minute. First, we all thought we were big time being in D.C….we were NOT. We were teeny, tiny fish in a great big pond. However, being the nerd I am, I thought it was the greatest. Well, that’s a lie. I didn’t want to go, but…
…Cont’d…
Let me back up for just a bit. Who am I, other than a mom who recently learned the difference between the oven and the stove? Well, let me introduce myself. I’m a Southern debutante (think Reese Witherspoon, who will obviously read this blog), who grew up in Mississippi, in the “country club” lifestyle but…
Welcome, to my blog, “I Cook Because the State Requires Me to Feed My Children,” which consists of true(ish) stories from a SAHM, plus some yummy (I think) recipes!
My name is Otie Heubach, and I am a stay-at-home-mom (SAHM), but not the Martha Stewart type of SAHM. I do, however, pretend to be on a cooking show while I’m in the kitchen. It’s even more fun when I have a fresh manicure (you know, for up close camera shots). You know you do…
