Back in March of 2013, Southwest began their direct flight service from New Orleans (MSY) to Key West (EYW). My hubby has always been a huge fan of Key West, where I have only been there for a day trip as I’ve spent a lot of time in Islamorada. He has been wanting to go …
I’ve been on the road for one week now. I’m traveling with my teen boys to do the “college tour thing,” while getting the most of our travels. My boys may joke that I’m “old,” “un-fun” and “boring,” but they are now the ones falling into their hotel beds LOL! As we just got into …
I won’t even get into how disgusting water parks are! Feet, pee – just better to not think about it!!! Also, if anyone needs to conduct a random population study of all walks of life from the US – water parks have it! Today, I survived Blue Bayou water park and the connecting amusement park …
Sing this to the Go-Go’s song “Vacation.” This morning, my friend e-mailed me about the new term “stacation” (stay at home vacation) and I thought I’d share it with you. Because, let’s face it, unless your money tree is blooming on steroids, you can’t afford to go too far from home this Summer. You know …
* If you haven’t got into the whole LOLcats & I can has cheezburger craze – time to branch out. My kids love it (me too-guilty). * My friend Beth linked to the Barney Cam for White House cuteness overload. *Go play Simon Sez Santa with your co-workers today. Make Santa, kill Rudolph, pick nose, …
Did you ever go to a restaurant that has too many options and it takes you way too long to decide? You almost get annoyed because you can’t make up your mind. Then the waitress comes around to take orders and you ask to go last because you are still looking. I’ve decided that this …
You know how everyone says, “it is that time of year.” Well I personally decided that today is that time. You know the time when you could get into 100% panic mode because you have so much stuff to do and are afraid you are going to forget something important. The time when you see …
Seriously, is the “over the top” birthday party culture destroying our kids…I can’t wait until I grow up dreams? My Super bratty Sweet whatever is nauseating, but a guilty pleasure. I have been to so many parties where I have to ask myself – dang – how will the parents top this next year? Buy …
* I’m canceling our Disney vacation and am planning on opening my own theme park in the backyard. “Squirrel World” could be the next theme park craze. I’ll create a cute little fuzzy squirrel mascot, charge admission to my backyard and let the world view all the little buggers who are feasting on my dang …

Yesterday, the monsters and I got our butts up early, packed a cooler of food and drinks and headed for Gulfport, MS to the Gulf Islands Waterpark. It was only an hour drive from Mandeville, and a very easy one at that. The park opens at 10 and I wanted to be there early so …
Hubby was out of town, so I took the 3 kiddos to the festiva (they were all free admission)l. Newbie mistake – parked waaaayyy too far away. First of,f we headed to the kids area to blow cash see Papillion. Oh wait – everyone was starving….like I never fed them before. Dang kids always demanding …
* My business partner drove me around the “Garden District” today. We had another organizing job Uptown and honestly – there is no change in color or huge lines or signs that say Uptown, Garden District etc… I guess I can actually say I have seen the real “Garden District” now. Yes, drool was coming …
Yep…on blueberry hill. Well, really “Blueberry Ridge” in Picayune, Mississippi. (website for all farms). My buddy, myself and our collective 6 kids headed off rise & shine to Picayune.
