Apparently “someone” (Terry Jones) in St. Tammany Parish has been filing for homestead exemption even though he does not really live in the Slidell home. Hmmmm……..make a spectacle of yourself while your i’s are not dotted and t’s not crossed is never a smart move!

If you live in St. Tammany, you certainly have heard all the latest on the Parish President, Kevin Davis. Not only does he want to have the opportunity to serve another term (Eddie ain’t getting his job fer sure), but to build a casino. I did not live here when gambling was previously voted down …
I apologize for using my blog to pimp my business. But hey – a girl has to make a buck! Now that you are all settled down from Gustav, time to get organized. I personally know 2 of the best (& least expensive) Professional Organizers in town (hint hint). That would be…yours truly, and my …
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. It included the laying of the wreath, TAPS, a 21 gun salute, a short speech by Congressmen Scalise and an amazing speech by Commander Lt. Cmdr. Darin A. …

I chaperoned my son’s 4th grade class to Honey Island Swamp for the day. Yepper, my first time in a the Louisiana Swamplands! What a great time and education for me, I mean the kids. You see, ain’t no swamps up there in MA where I grew up. This is all brand spanking new to …
…your 7 year old (Princess Whinalot) gets beamed in the head with a throw! I won’t get all negative about it (I am The Princess of Positive), but common sense tells you – a desk calendar thrown from a 2 story float will undoubtedly contribute to some girl drama and tears. Eh…she got over it …
Hello Mr. Davis, Let me introduce myself. My name is Greta Perry and my family chose to settle in Mandeville after my husband’s retirement from the military. We don’t have any family here, but took it as an opportunity. We are thrilled with our new home and are quickly growing roots. I have been a …

* is it Thursday already? barnacles – where did the week go? * tomorrow is my neighborhood block party-yeeha (no designated driver necessary). Many thanks to Abita Beer for donating beer. The money from each beer goes to help fund our new front entrance. I promise (Scout’s Honor) to do my share and drink plenty! …
Funny, I was going to write about Craigslist (Hi Craig – yes, he is a real person-we’ve e-mailed) and up pops the news and….. another Craigslist prostitution arrest – this one, 2 sisters in Slidell, Louisiana. I hate to laugh, but I can’t stop – I am easily amused by stupid people! Yes, these sisters …
This is a really cool concept. This weekend, the Slidell Cultural Center will host an open-house style night evening to welcome back folks who were raised in Slidell and went on to make a name for themselves. My pal – John Doherty – who made the beautiful fleur de lis pendant I can often be …
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 …
This morning I woke the little monsters up early. Why wake sleeping children – isn’t that breaking every law known to civilization? Well, it is hot here – it is summer in the South dagnabbit. The mommy-van maxed out at 105 by noon. Does that tell you something? I planned a Slidell excursion for today. …
I recently met Milena Merrill in person. If the name doesn’t ring a bell, it should. Milena is the Northshore NOLA.com blog coordinator and master of EVERYTHING she touches, a remarkable woman. She shared her Katrina story with me, and as usual, my chin just dropped. But, her “it is what it is†attitude and …
This is my first venture out to Slidell (& the kids too). Hubby had house shopped there and it was time for the rest of the fam damily to explore. Of course, a trip to Sam’s Club was sooooo overdue- chaching!!! First, we stopped at a fabulous cafe’, called Southside Cafe’. It was owned by …
