As you all know by now, I am a beer drinker. Love wine, but am now allergic to the sulfites in it (yes I really loved wine – sniff sniff). I have never really got into the whole liquor scene, but once in a while have a Margarita or White Russian. I even stopped by …

*** A great Sunday was spent at Bass Pro in Denham Springs. We ate at their restaurant Islamorada Fish Company and I must say – we were impressed with the food and the prices weren’t too shabby either. Mmmmmm… the sugar bread was scrumptious. *** The Hungry Forager in Mandeville is a new eating establishment. …
Yes, I’m talking about summertime and kids arguing – oh joy! And for those idiots, like myself, who stay home with the rugmonsters and always have a house full of kids, extra joy! Oh ya, I also have one of the few pools on the block – so my kids are very popular in the …

Hurry – it ends June 8th! I headed to NOMA with the rugmonsters today to see the George Rodrigue exhibit. The cost was $4 for me (Louisiana resident price) & the kids were free. We spent $1 each for the narrated walking tour headset! SOOOOOOO worth it! We scooted through in about 45 minutes. You …

Update Memorial Day afternoon: Me & the kiddos (our veteran is playing golf), attended the Memorial Day Ceremony in Slidell. It was a small ceremony but meaningful.

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.
