I am currently traveling throughout Europe with my 13 year old son on an EF Tours trip. We will be in Paris, Germany, Italy and Switzerland. I will be tweeting, Foursquaring and Brightkiting my way across Europe for the next 12 days. I will also have updates on my Facebook page if you want to …
Thumbs up for being military supporters! Last year, I was approached by Wizard 101 as a Milblogger. They wanted to initially reach out to the military community with this game and sent me this email (along with a trial subscription): One of the great things we’ve been seeing since the launch of Wizard101 is how …
Sorry my writing has been light lately. With the 2 younger kiddos at home and my wonderful babysitter son away at camp, the Perry house dynamics have changed. The two younger ones are putting me through that true Mommy test this week. Trying to keep them busy as much as possible, make them responsible for …
Kudos to my daughter’s teacher for incorporating play money as part of her curriculum. The kids earn money for good behavior and for being on task. My weekly volunteer hours are to count money with the kids and they light up as soon as they see me turn the corner. I usually hear a, “Miss …
I am asking people who have attended Mardi Gras whether they think it is family friendly or not and why? I’m also asking those who have not attended if they think it is or not and why? I bring my kids to the French Quarter (just not Bourbon Street) all the time and they love …
2/9 realized I switched the title of the movie by accident and corrected my post. Thanks readers for catching this. My 12 year old could not wait to see this movie. He is the kid I catch with the flashlight under the covers late at night. Out of all the books he has read, he …
Princess Whinalot: Can I have a hamster for my birthday in September? Me: No PW: Well then I’ll ask Santa for a hamster? Me: He’ll have to ask my permission first and I’ll say no. PW: If I get enough money for Christmas & Hannukah, I am going to buy my own hamster. Me: I …
Last night we got together with friends and besides their teenage daughter, I was in the company of people who had no idea what Facebook was all about (including my hubby). So here goes me explaining my Facebook knowledge and life to you. FYI – I’m “Greta Perry” on Facebook. Facebook is a place where …
This article hit me this morning as something with some serious inconsistencies &/or agenda. We already know the Times-Picayune endorsed Obama, he won and now we must all move forward. This is not newsworthy (IMHO), it is looking for trouble. The comments made me want to vomit because everyone commenting on it has the , …

Just saying…
My 12 yo made this cake for his Spanish class for Dia De Los Muertos. He made an orange frosting and covered the top with crushed Oreos. Vienna fingers were used for headstones, gummy worms for gross effect and skeleton table scatters from Party City for fun. Not sure where he gets his love for …
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 …
Having somehow avoided seeing High School Musical 1 and 2, is a feat that I considered a good Mommy accomplishment. My daughter saw them with friends and I breathed a sigh of relief (parents take turn seeing painful movies- unwritten rule) that I was off the hook for them. I knew my luck had run …
***New Orleans has been named the “Most Sparkling City” by Yellow Tail Wines. July 1st, Chartres Mall in front of St. Louis Cathedral will be all the brewhaha. Ms. Frommer (from the guide) will be there. She hasn’t seen my “Princess of Positive” tiara yet – now that is sparkling! “It’s exciting that the American …
They are driving me nuts!!! The toughest summer rule I have for the rugmonsters is that they may only have electronics before 9:00 AM or after dark. You sleep past 9 – too stinkin’ bad! What the HELL was I thinking when I made this rule??? Guess who gets to deal with them, the fighting, …
