It was our very first visit to the Louisiana Children’s Museum. As usual the day was filled with mishapsadventures. 1. Getting out the door – fighting kids! 2. Following directions your friend says are better than your mapquest print out. Let’s just say I took the scenic route and saw East Orleans Parish for the …
Thank you to all the readers who have stumbled upon my blog/blogs, Hooah Wife readers who are coming here to visit, and those who are reading for fear that they might be highlighted in an unfavorable light (lol). Now that I’ve got you my pretties, let’s go over the blog rules of engagements: 1. Visit …
Image borrowed from here(the eyes move). Now where did I put those flashlights?
(I took this picture) I knew it had to be the magnolia. Yay Greta! I guess I should learn a few facts about my new home. The following info was from here: In 1900, House Bill No. 280 was introduced to the Louisiana General Assembly proposing that the blossom of the magnolia be adopted as …
Yesterday, I was having a wonderful conversation with a born & raised local dad from my son’s baseball team. He was asking where we had lived, grew up, gone to college and how we ended up here. * When I told him we had lived all over the US and knew we would end up …

Father’s Day finally came and I could finally unveil the painting I had purchased hubby over a month ago (hiding in a closet). I met Mr. Goodwyne when I stopped in to visit the Inside Northside office. He will be the featured artist for the July/August issue and he had some of his work with …
“holding hands with his little princess” I know I have the best dad in the world- sorry folks – I win. Sherm, as he affectionately called by everyone or Mistah Mahcus (Bostonspeak for Mr. Marcus). He and my mom have been married over 40 years, he is quite older than my mom (16 or 17 …

What can I say – but that was the best $2 (with coupon) I have spent in a long time. We had a blast at the UCM Museum (5 miles North of I-12) in Abita Springs . The curator, John Preble couldn’t be nicer and more patient as the 6 kids poked around his gift …
Don’t tell me about it….I’m so excited to go and it is better if I go not knowing anything about it. I was thinking of creative places to take the kids tomorrow (5 boys & 1 girl – 3 boys are visiting) -something not too expensive and not too far away. I remembered during my …
Get those US flags waving!!! And a very Hooah Birthday to the Army today – celebrating 232 years! If your flag is tattered – here is a list of proper procedures and suggestions to dispose of the old ones!
A while back, a good friend of mine, Carol at Alabama Improper, interviewed a really cool artist. His name is Don Stewart and his work can be found at DS Art. Please don’t hold his being from Alabama against him – he is a great guy and very talented. He draws tons of pictures within …
By the time I woke my 3 kids and the 3 visiting kids and got them out the door….it was 9:30. Ugh! I hate wasting a morning. My plan, get a big breakfast and head to the aquarium, followed by a light lunch or snack. First stop, Country Kitchen at 2109 Florida Ave (map attached …
I fess up, I have 3 kids well out of diapers & never heard of Boudreaux’s Butt Paste. That is…until the other night at #1 son’s baseball game. I’m chatting away and somehow the subject of this miracle potion comes up. I can’t stop laughing at the name and even better…laughing at all the things …
I am pretty sure that Surf’s Up was based on a true story. After watching penguins surf on the big screen – I almost believed that they can do it for real! We went to the O’Neil Theater for the $4.50 Matinee. We were almost the only ones there. 7 tickets, 2 large popcorns, 2 …
