About
Hi there! I’m Crystal, a Nashville native, mama of two, and the heart behind Southern Snippets.
Lover of cozy routines, honest recommendations, and anything that brings people together around the table. You’ll usually find me planning our next trip, testing a new recipe, or figuring out what’s for dinner ... again.
ONCE UPON A TIME
I didn’t always have a plan - for dinner or for life. Like most moms, I was juggling schedules, work, and all the things that come with raising kids who are growing faster than you expect.
Somewhere along the way, I found comfort in simple routines, shared meals, and the small, steady ways God shows up in everyday life. What started as saving recipes and travel ideas for my own family slowly became something I wanted to share.
That’s how Southern Snippets began.
That’s when it clicked.
As our kids got older, life got busier, but I also gained more clarity. I realized how much I valued simple, dependable ideas that made home life run smoother.
Southern Snippets is where I share easy meals, family-friendly travel, and everyday favorites for moms who don’t need perfection — just practical ideas that work. It’s about showing up faithfully in the small moments and making the most of the life right in front of us.
I believe God meets us in the everyday. Around the table, in routines, and in the moments we choose to slow down.
MY REALLY OFFICIAL BIO, the TL:DR VERSION
