Hubby ran into an old Army buddy of his who happens to be dating a local gal. We were invited over to her adorable house in Metairie today. She still has some post-Katrina work to do – but is feeling at home and I adore the local flavor used to decorate her house. I can’t …
I have to step away from the King Cake until next year. Dang this stuff is good!
* the weather was gorgeous today – 70 degrees * I took my kids to 8 different parades from Mandeville to the French Quarter (over the past 2 weeks) – no boobs – no unruly drunks – I never felt that anyone’s safety was in question. In fact, I felt very safe the whole time …

The whole family went to the “Krewe of Eve” parade last night. We watched from the start, surrounded by tons of families & kids. We now have another box of beads, tons of stuffed animals, Barbie dolls & just “stuff.” You either have to stand back, get close to the floats, or be as high …
This weekend should be very exciting for the whole family. There are tons of parades. We are going to watch the Mandeville “Eve” parade on Friday night. On Sunday we will head to the French Quarter for the Barkus “dog” parade. We will not be bringing Chulo the Super Dog, as he gets a little …
I’m hoping one of my new St. Tammany readers can tell me the best place to drop off donations. I just cleaned out half my wardrobe & it feels great!!!
Since this blog readership is slowly picking up, I’ll put myself out on a limb here & tell you why I started it. My thoughts were, when I moved to Mandeville, I would become a positive spokesperson for the city, the Parish, the Northshore, the state. I want to share my experiences with others and …
