{Meet} Barbara of Southport Sisters
1. How long have you been blogging?
Five + years
2. Why did you start blogging?
It is a way to keep in touch with my family and friends, more than what can be featured on social media sites. I’m able to share more information, more photos, etc., without the limitations of space or numbers of characters.
3. What do you blog about?
I share new recipes, my photography, my travels, my exhibits, anything that I feel my family and friends would enjoy reading. My sister and I just moved to Southport so I redesigned and renamed my blog to reflect our new home, our new surroundings and that we are now known as the “Southport Sisters.”. In the future, I will use the blog as a way to showcase more of my new town, Southport.
4. Where are you blogging from in NC?
I’m currently blogging from Southport, North Carolina.
5. Out of all the posts you’ve written, which one (or two) would you pick as your favorite?
My favorite post is one that I wrote for Mother’s Day – “When You Write From the Heart It Can Make Everything Better”. Our mother passed away last year, and it is my tribute to her. If I had to pick another post, it would be my latest blog post, as it has opened new doors for me and my love of cooking. It’s called “If Given A Challenge to Bake with Pineapple Jalapeno Jelly, What Would You Make?”
6. What blog(s) do you love?
7. What’s one piece of advice you’d offer your fellow bloggers?
If I had to give one piece of advice, I’d definitely tell everyone to write from the heart.
8. What are three things that you know to be true?
- Mother is always right
- Be true to yourself
- It’s OK to have too much fun!
9. Where can we find you on the web?

10. And finally, is there anything else you’d like to add that you want people to know about you – professional affiliations, any other place they can find you, etc.
I am the Vice President of CNPA – the Carolinas’ Nature Photographers Association, which is a photography organization with over 1200 members in both North and South Carolina. I have been a professional chef working in Hawaii and Los Angeles, a photographer for over 40 years, and love to travel. I am originally from Los Angeles and now live on the opposite coast in the “happiest seaside town” – Southport.
