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 …

This story about clowns being banned from making balloon animals caught my attention immediately today. Not only because I have a “clown phobia” (can you say John Wayne Gacey?) but because I have a severe latex allergy too. I have written about my allergy a bunch on my other blog. Not only to draw awareness …
“I think people can take some comfort in knowing that it was a random act of violence,” said Sgt. Joe Narcisse, and NOPD spokesman. Now I admit I am no kool-aid drinker and am skeptical of every story and want to know the other side. Anything said or written in the media can quickly be …
* warning – drinking and blogging going on here!!!! * the whole fam damily headed out to the Mandeville Seafood Festival again. This night we had a mission, besides blowing cash spending money. We were going with “free passes” thanks to NOLA.com – woot woot – to see the fireworks!!!! * We parked waaaaaay too …
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 …
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. We called around for the closer blueberry farms – but most were “picked out.” If we didn’t get lost take the scenic route – it would …
It was our very first visit to the Louisiana Children’s Museum. As usual the day was filled with mishapsadventures. 1. Getting out the door – fighting kids! 2. Following directions your friend says are better than your mapquest print out. Let’s just say I took the scenic route and saw East Orleans Parish for the …
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 …
Don’t tell me about it….I’m so excited to go and it is better if I go not knowing anything about it. I was thinking of creative places to take the kids tomorrow (5 boys & 1 girl – 3 boys are visiting) -something not too expensive and not too far away. I remembered during my …
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 am pretty sure that Surf’s Up was based on a true story. After watching penguins surf on the big screen – I almost believed that they can do it for real! We went to the O’Neil Theater for the $4.50 Matinee. We were almost the only ones there. 7 tickets, 2 large popcorns, 2 …
We have friends visiting and we decided to meet up with hubby for lunch. I asked my buddy for some “kid friendly” suggestions “down by the river” (for all you SNL fans). She suggested O’Henry’s on Carrollton because they have a kid’s menu and good food. It worked out perfectly – we sat upstairs and …
