* is it Thursday already? barnacles – where did the week go? * tomorrow is my neighborhood block party-yeeha (no designated driver necessary). Many thanks to Abita Beer for donating beer. The money from each beer goes to help fund our new front entrance. I promise (Scout’s Honor) to do my share and drink plenty! …
I love to feature local artwork on my blog. So I surfed (bad habit-so easy to get sucked in for long hours of time) to find a picture that screamed, “Monday morning post.” I love this picture and the title is also apropos for me as it is “4-cup morning” by NOLA artist Kerrie Jones. …
Many thanks to my pal Don Stewart from DS Art for my brand new custom header. He is a ballpoint pen artist and usually does pictures with multiple pictures in them. I have bought tons for presents as they are all very reasonably priced and so cool! Please go visit his gallery!!! He also has …
* I want this sooooo bad I am frothing at the mouth! * Don’t make me photoshop this Louisiana. Can you guess where I am going with this one? * Harry Potter was awesome on IMAX * 3 more days until vacation. What the heck was I thinking – sure – I’ve been home all …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Thought I’d introduce you to another artist whose work I really enjoy. His name is Matt Rinard (no- I never met him) and his gallery can be found at 738 Royal Street. I can go in there and laugh for hours – my kids can too. After seeing the picture on the top, I am …
(pictures by Daniel Rhodes & available at The Crabnet website) The Crabnet is a most intriguing shop right along Decateur Street. I was shopping there with my mom and went in because I know they carry the pendant you see advertised on my sidebar (hint hint – buy one today). I was desperate to buy …
Thank you for those who have tried to send in a creative logo. I still don’t have “the perfect” one yet…. Keep trying…contest not over until the mom says so! Here is one I came up with.
OK – this is going to be some type of bleg (blog beg) this morning. I REALLY REALLY REALLY (get the point?) want a header designed by a LOCAL!!! I mean come on, this is New Orleans (and that included the outreach of the whole state), the art mecca of the world! I have been …
Now get your minds out of the gutter – I’m happily married. I would like to have a Kiss My Gumbo logo created for my blog by the end of May (right around the corner). My evil plan, is to bombard NOLA with snarky Kiss My Gumbo shirts (everyone will want one)! If you win, …

Son #1 goes to Lake Harbor Middle School in Madeville now & son #2 will be there next year with him. Tonight they had their “Evening with the Stars.” I was blown away! Something unique to this area school system is how they group and evaluate their “gifted” students. They wouldn’t even honor #1’s gifted …
