April is always looking for new and innovative ways to communicate etiquette and manners. April grew up in a very small rural town of Millen, GA. She brings a twist of Deep South antics to a stereotypically dry and boring subjects. While Debra holds tight to Etiquette Expectations, April tends to find the realistic and believable approaches to life’s circumstances.  Married with two grown boys, April knows that sometimes there just has to be compromise.

“Thank you so much for teaching me all the social skills I have put to use in the past 5 years since I left Athens for college. Not only did the dancing skills take me far in school, but the etiquette you instilled in me has served me well in the ‘real world.'”
