I’m not a big fan of contests, actually despise them for the most part, but this Spine Venom Challenge from Under Armour, peaked my interest. I own tons of Under Armour clothes and I have joked in the past that I would be their perfect “poster child” as your average middle-aged woman who makes time …
Well this 44 year old, stiletto wearing mama of 3, just checked completing a Warrior Dash off my bucket list. And yep – already signed up for my next one in October (9:30 if you want to join me)! I have been on talking to a bunch of friends to get them to join me …
Competing in a Warrior Dash has been on my bucket list for a while. Of all weeks to get the crud – UGH! I was training pretty hard up until Monday of this week, then boom, no energy, and the little virus congested me up. Decided to not worry about trying to work out through …
Maybe you’ll want to beat me up after you read this post, but no worries, I own what I do and say (and I’m not perfect- see where this post is going). Since we moved to the greater New Orleans area in 2007, the Saints have become our home team and we cheer for them …

Our own boys, the New Orleans Saints are working with this project and I did not want it to go unnoticed. …
My pal TSO sent me this video this morning (not completely safe for work). I was thinking that this guy is way to good just to be just on You Tube and then he sent me another link and this guy has gone big time. Not only is the video freaking funny, but the guy …
We had an afternoon/evening family adventure with 800,000 of our closest friends (estimated amount in attendance today). The kids got out of school 2 hours early and we actually waited to get on the Causeway with all the fans. I decided to go the reverse route and though I moved slowly through the quarter, did …
Three years ago this past January, we decided to make a suburb that separates itself from the city of New Orleans by a 24 mile bridge, our home. We immediately fell in love with our forever home and yours truly started this blog (Hooah Wife is my other). Because of my positive energy and ability …
This was sent from Pelican Park today. Some parents need to grow up!!! August 3, 2009 Dear Parents: On Saturday July 25th, Pelican Park was the site of a physical altercation between two parents in a 7 year old basketball game. This is a very unfortunate situation that happened and what made it worse is …
My son just finished a complete wash “0-6” of a football season at Pelican Park in Mandeville, LA. We have lived many places and played in many youth programs and Pelican Park is the cream of the crop – trust me on this. So how did a “random draft” of 12 year olds create a …
When they start the game, they don’t yell, “Work ball.” They say, “Play ball.” ~Willie Stargell 1981~ Now I am the last person to feel qualified to give parenting advice. I often look like Linda Blair with my head spinning round and green slime coming out of my mouth. So instead of me actually giving …
Yesterday was a very traumatic day for me. I accompanied 43 – 6th graders (trauma enough) from Lake Harbor Middle School on a field trip to Mandeville Junior High, where they will attend next year. I felt bad for all the kiddos I was with because the other 285 – 6th graders attending, were from …

Never mind the mommy and domestic goddess responsibilities. The Princess of Positive has a very full schedule the next few days and hopefully I will see some of you at the events (still waiting for my new custom tiara and when I get it – you won’t be able to miss me). * Thursday March …
