Foam For The Holidays is the best way to enjoy family and friends without the holiday stress!
Instead of crowding everyone in your home this year, invite everyone to book a Mermaid Cottages home full of cottage charm and coastal calm. And, instead of spending all of your time in the kitchen you can just eat out in Tybee Island or Savannah or have your Thanksgiving meal catered in! That’ll leave plenty of time for you to just sit back, enjoy the beach and let our delicious sea foam wash away your cares. …
Y’all Come Inn, again! Paula Deen’s Tybee Island Beach House is so popular it’s been booked up pretty much since the Spring. Maybe y’all tried to come when it was all booked up and maybe those of y’all that did come are ready to come back. Well, we’re so tickled y’all love this place we want to say, “Y’all Come Inn, Again!”
From December 1, 2012 through February 28, 2013, if y’all book two nights we’ll give you a third night free! And, if you can’t stay three nights we’ll take 10% off your two night stay! It’s our way of saying Thank You for being our guests and to also encourage you to take another look if you’ve never been here before (if you’ve already booked a new stay between these dates we’ll be happy to make sure your booking includes one free night for bookings of three or more nights and a Maximum 10% discount if you only booked two nights). It’s kind of like the preacher says in church, “The checkbook is the last to be converted.” With this special offer you’ll find a visit to Paula’s beach house is so reasonable it’ll all be over but the shouting!

What a day for a daydream!
Last week was one of those sets of days when I really appreciated the refuge of the Georgia coast. It seems I spend a great deal of my time these days negotiating a cease fire with the indignities of middle age… even though I’m sure I informed the universe I would not be participating in the aging process some time ago.
Sigh.
Luckily the sands of time have not buried my love of a good meal and on a recent foray into Savannah with my favorite assortment of mermaids and seaside sisters, I enjoyed a delicious expedition into the world of spices courtesy of Sol Restaurant.

My meal was so spectacular I won’t spend my time trying to remember what any of my …
If you live in the Savannah area, and you don’t know about The Back in the Day Bakery…WHAT are you waiting for? The Back in the Day Bakery sits at 2403 Bull Street in beautiful Savannah, Georgia and it’s only the best place ever for all things sweet, savory, and delicious. They say “Slow down and taste the sweet life,” and it isn’t just a tag line. Owners Griff and Cheryl Day believe “good food should nourish your body and soul.” When you visit Back in the Day Bakery, you enter a neighborhood bakeshop where everything is hand made in small batches. They put a real emphasis on quality and local ingredients, and you can taste the love in every bite!
The Back in the Day Bakery is known locally as well as nationally for their decadent, down-home desserts and scrumptious rustic breads. Now, we know everyone can’t make it to Savannah, so what’s the next best thing? A cookbook of course! That’s right! The Back in the Day Bakery Cookbook is coming! We are super excited to see the finished product. Some of the cookbook was written right here on Tybee Island at our Mermaid Cottages! The cookbook celebrates the bakery’s tenth anniversary, and it’s packed with all the baking knowledge Griff and Cheryl have to share, right along with loads of amazing recipes to tempt your taste buds.
Just one yummy picture from the Back in the Day Bakery Facebook Page!

The full-color photographs will make your tummy rumble. There are even behind-the-scenes bakery shots that will give you a peek into the day-to-day workings of life at the bakery. This special cookbook celebrates family traditions, baking from scratch, and quality local ingredients. It’s basically a “down-home bake sale in a book!”
