About Family Savvy

Hello, and thank you for stopping by Family Savvy!

My name is Jamie Tarence, and I live in Birmingham, Alabama, with my husband of 33+ years. We have 3 daughters~twins who are nurses here in Birmingham and one in college at Auburn University. My “only son” is Cam, a golden doodle who is by my side 24/7.

Family Savvy is where I share practical, helpful (savvy) solutions to help busy women with all things home and family. My passion is to share easy recipes and resources to help busy women cook fabulous food and create welcoming homes where others want to gather. I also throw in style, skin and beauty tips that I’ve found helpful in looking and feeling my best in midlife and beyond.

I also host The SavvyCast Podcast, where I invite you to join me in conversation about topics from food, family, marriage, relationships and more. My guests always share things that will hopefully leave listeners inspired, encouraged, and “savvier” than before.

Company's coming so I'm putting out more pumpkins!🍁My velvet pumpkins in the dining room are all white. However, I decided to use some jewel tone pumpkins in the parlor. We don't use the parlor much... the baby grand probably won't carry tune because it hasn't been played in years.😂We tried to get at least one daughter to love piano, but it didn't work.⁣
.⁣
.⁣
Even though we don't use the room that much, it is one of my favorites! My dear friend @debrahewittart did the beautiful painting behind me. Every piece that she does is so special! I love having art with meaning, especially spiritual.💛⁣

If you know someone who likes faith-based art, feel free to tag them in the comments! If you don't already, go follow @debrahhewittart to stay up-to-date on all of her beautiful work. Also, I would love to know--are you fan of the white velvet pumpkins or the jewel toned pumpkins? I love both SO much, but I would love to hear what you like😘

For parties, get-togethers, or holidays (which are right around the corner), I always love to make Brown Sugar Crusted Kentucky Spiral Ham. When you see these hams, be sure to grab one! Here is the exact one I buy (swipe for a closer look): Spiral Sliced Hickory Ham. Not whole petite. Not black label. Just spiral hickory.🙌
.
.
If your butcher doesn't have them, ask them to order! These are SO easy and yummy.😍I'll be sharing several more recipes using Kentucky Legend ham in weeks to come, so stay tuned!
.
.
For the full Brown Sugar Crusted Kentucky Spiral Ham recipe, head on over to the blog or simply Google "Brown Sugar Ham Family Savvy." What are some of your favorite ways to cook ham? I know there are so many different things you can make, so let me know in the comments!😘
