The Heart Behind
@SouthJerseySedd
Hi! I’m Bryanna.
I’m the face behind SouthJerseySedd! I’m a born & raised South Jersey girly, local teacher, mom of two, and someone who genuinely loves finding (and sharing!) all of the little things that make this area such a special place to call home.
SouthJerseySedd actually started long before the mom-life content, local guides, and Hometown Happenings you see today. In my twenties, it began as a food account called @fo0odforfun where I shared what I was eating whilst having fun all over New Jersey. But as life changed, so did the account. I moved back home to South Jersey, got married (officially becoming a Seddon!), started a family, and found myself rediscovering this area through an entirely new lens. This is what inspired the account’s rebrand, and brought it to be the account it is today.
Today, SouthJerseySedd has grown right alongside me. What was once mostly about where to eat has become a place to discover where to go, what to do, who to support, and what’s happening right here in South Jersey — from the longtime local spots we grew up loving to the brand-new small businesses bringing something exciting to our community.
As both a teacher in a local school district and a mom raising my own kids here, I have a pretty personal stake in this community. This is where I grew up, where I’m building my career, and where my husband and I have chosen to raise our family. I want my kids to grow up in a thriving, positive community. I want them to feel the love for South Jersey, too — and feel inspired to support the people and businesses that make this area thrive. Building community and a sense of appreciation for life here is a huge part of why I continue to do what I do.
My goal with South Jersey Sedd is pretty simple: to be an approachable resource you can rely on when you need to know where to eat, what to do this weekend, or what new place worth checking out. Whether it’s with your kids/family, with your friend group, a date night, or a solo experience - I am hoping to give anyone who visits my page a reason to feel connected & to LOVE it here in South Jersey!
Thank you for taking the time to visit my site! I’m so glad you’re here. 💛
A Few of My Fave Things
Coffee First, Always
Don't make me choose! It's a dirty chai with almond milk from Jessie's, a strawberry shortcake latte from Lola's, or a Mexican mocha from Café Con Amor. I take my coffee runs very seriously.
Meet Me at the Shore
The Cove or the Jetty in Brigantine! Give me some sunshine, salty air, and a sandy beach, and I'm a happy girl.
The BEST Happy Hour
Ocean Steak at Ocean Casino! Because good drinks, great food, and an excuse for a little girls' night out? Say less.
My Secret Go-To Spot
Athenian Garden. Hands down, the BEST Greek food ever. If you know, you know. And if you don't… consider this your sign to go!
