This week's Southern Living Mama Blogger of the Week is Southern Fried Mama.

Trista is an Alabama mom who writes about her adventures of being a stay-at-home mom of two. She writes about her challenges -- and solutions -- of raising two young kids and managing a part-time job, with a husband who travels for work.

"I started my blog to keep a journal of what the kids were doing, but then  started connecting with other moms and being part of an online community," she says. "With my husband on the road and being at home there are days when I don't talk in person with another adult. Connecting with other moms helps me stay in touch with the outside world."

We like this post about how she makes time for herself by attending Friday night painting classes when she can. (Click here for Southern Living tips on de-stressing with art.)

Thanks for sharing your Southern Fried story Trista, and happy blogging!
