The Southern Pearl Blog – Where Sassy Southern Sophistication Meets Motherhood

Today we have another fun member interview with Kirstie Thompson from The Southern Pearl. Sassy southern sophistication meets motherhood on her blog as she shares a love for her family and all things Kentucky. Kirstie is a pearl-obsessed Kentucky wife and mom to her own daughter and four step-kids or “bonus kids” as she affectionately calls them. I invite you to follow along.
