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 …

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 …
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!
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 have a folder on my desktop called “cool stuff for blogs.” Usually people send me stuff, but sometimes I surf for fun and find them. I was in Cafe Press, surfing for New Orleans stuff and came across this: And get this…it was designed by someone who calls themselves “The Anti-Northshore Alliance.” Puhleeze! I …
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 …
When we moved to Mandeville, for the first time we didn’t have to search for a dry cleaners that pressed BDUs (fatigues to the rest of the world). After trying a few, we stumbled upon Premier Cleaners aka $1.89. We are very happy with the service and the price. It is a mom and pop …
Now I enjoy shopping and spending money as much as the next person (maybe even a little more). One thing I loathe, is wasting money. But, the Brighton purse I just ordered is money well spent (right hubby-see picture below). So you see, I have a little problem with the PR firm being hired by …
Just for fun, I like to see what “keywords” people Google to end up here. Drum roll….. kiss me i’m cajun prints fleur de lis mailbox (buy one – BIG HINT- right sidebar) inside northside magazine malibleau beach salad (yum – Semolinas) culture gombo insurable homes in st tammany parish teach nola french quarter restaurant …
My kids are getting the whole Louisiana weather summer pattern. Barely a day has gone by where they didn’t get some quality outdoor time (when they are outside I lock all the doors, grab the bon-bons and sit my butt on the couch to watch my “stories” – ya right). When they wake up it …
Negative PR, murders, corruption, another hurricane season, Nagin, Jefferson, Blanco…need I say more? Honestly, Louisiana is taking a beating in the PR war. I have officially decided (like that makes a difference) that Louisiana needs to take the “car salesman” approach (no offense if you sell cars – hey everyone has to make a living). …
Update: For those that didn’t get the joke – Rep. William Jefferson.
Whether you live in Louisiana now or are “displaced,” I want you to be on my blogroll. Let me know if you aren’t on there & I’ll add you! Trying to make an evil master blogroll mwuahahahahaha!
I loooooove writing and esp. love blogging. Why? Because it is my free therapy and I just blurt stuff out & at the very least my mother reads it and laughs. I must say I am easily amused as once in a while I go back in my archives and read stuff I wrote & …

Yesterday was a field day for “armchair mayors” discussing the Mayor’s speech. Whateva… It is so much easier to stand in the sidelines and say what you woulda done or said better, but fun to pick it apart (fess up …you know it is). I’ve heard so many dollar figures bounced around this week that …
