Vote for Joe Merrick: The Voice Extra Rally It is not every day, that Joe Merrick, the super “cool kid” from JR. high band, who you may have had a crush on or not, gets a video audition sent to the Voice and you have a chance to vote. Ya, Joe and I go back …
My family just got back from Disney World this past week (can’t write about Disney Land, but I imagine similar). We were clueless about the brand new rollout of the FastPass Plus “FP+” systems, but we were in good company with many guests! First off make sure you have the My Disney Experience app on …
This school social media poster, hangs in the hall of one of my kid’s schools. It was one of my most interacted Instagram pictures. Dear fellow parents of teenagers. This letter is written to you by a Mom, who is considered a “social media expert.” I was thrilled when this letter from St Tammany Parish …
In my world, it is not every day that you get a new tattoo. Actually, it took me about 23 years to to get my first tattoo and another 23 to get my new tattoo cover-up. I really wanted one at the tender age of 18, but talked myself into waiting until I finished college. …
Here is the post I put on my personal Facebook account a couple of weeks ago: Confession: I mainly stick to mindless Bravo TV. Looking for an on-demand or Netflix series to watch. The last one I really watched was the Sopranos. I saw a few Mad Men and some Dr. Who too. If my …
I have played disc golf or frisbee golf, several times in my adult life. My kids always (or so I like to think), enjoy how my hubby and constantly joke with each other, especially making Seinfeld references. The poor kids grew up knowing about FROLF, but thinking it was as real as unicorns. Recently, I’ve …
Holy King Cake – there is a new “military” Mardi Gras Krewe in town, named Legion of Mars. They are set to roll in 2015, but you can get involved now. If you have been following along here, or with my other blog Hooah Wife, you will know that I am usually quite involved (more …

I am proud to be a mentor for Mandeville High School’s FIRST Robotics Team 2992, the SS Prometheus. Young kids are our future and I’m all about supporting the fields of Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM). Though I am horrible at science, engineering and math, there is room for me as FIRST mentor in …
Having Roger Staubach sign his autograph along with “Go Army,” sure would have been a priceless Army Navy game weapon. Unfortunately, we did not score that. My hubby and I were guests of USAA during their #nflsalute game in New Orleans this year. During the pre-game, Roger Staubach, hubby’s hero from when he was a …
Ya…the irony of me cooking red beans…I’m a transplanted Yankee living in the south, vegetarian, Jewish woman cooking this meal. Our guests are soon to arrive from Georgia and this is dinner for tonight. One of them is actually originally from New Orleans and over the summer I made red beans and rice and he …
Not sure what makes it more real, ordering the official Senior year pictures today or seeing him off on the bus for his last Cross Country meet as a senior. Either way, my first born, Drew, is on his way to leaving the nest. This time next year, he will be away at Ole Miss …
Last night, I was invited to “Drinks with Bob Cerasoli,” along with a select group of people. This gathering took place because they were in New Orleans for an Inspector General’s conference. I love my crazy life and all the unique relationships I’ve had the pleasure and opportunity to make along the way. Bob and I …
Last week, I posted the following status on my Facebook regarding “annoying sayings:” The answers were flippin’ hysterical. so I had to share!!! I removed names to protect the innocent LOL! “Ive been knowing him….” the one phrase I draw blood as I bite my tongue so hard, refraining from correcting. What phrase is your trigger …

I Have a Profile! Once again my Infiniti ended up in the shop and the laughs with my husband began. Why? Because we always joke that I have a profile there, like Elaine did in Seinfeld’s “The Package” episode. She finds out that her chart has “a difficult patient” written on it and will go …
This year, I wrote about the awesome experience I was privileged to be part of, escorting my WWII friend, Sir JJ Witmeyer, to the Kentucky Derby race. You can read about that here. The owner of the horse, Normandy Invasion, Rick Porter of Fox Hill Farm did another amazing thing after the Derby. Rick named …
