Not a fan of Rosie O’Donnell’s politics, however we share something very special in common. Last night I watched “America,” a Lifetime movie produced by Rosie that tackled the issue of teens in the foster care system in America. Rosie has adopted from the Foster Care system just like we did. Our own Princess Whinalot …
Here is the podcast from this fabulous show! My guests were Clem Goldberger, Associate VP of the National World War II Museum and local recording artist, and author Jay Chevalier. Jay recorded the Official Louisiana State Hurricane Recovery Song, “Come Back to Louisiana.”
“Hail Orpheus, Hail Yes!” is the saying from the Krewe my husband rides in. The Original Krewe of Orpheus rolled last night in Mandeville and hubby had a fabulous day, beginning with golf at 8:30 and ending after 11 with the end of the parade in walking distance from our house. My curiosity got the …
As most of you know, I have been working on Operation Overseas Mardi Gras this year with Soldiers’ Angels. In 5 weeks, we managed to get out over 700 packages to 3 Louisiana Guard units. This e-mail I received yesterday, makes every ounce of effort worth it! Dear Ms. Perry: I want to let you …
I received this e-mail today from my friend, Michelle Boudreaux. She gave me permission to share. Hey Everyone, Attached is a flyer for an event that some local high school kids have put together to benefit Mary-Payton Vigil. A group of girls decided that they did not want a sweet sixteen party this year, one …
Transparency in Louisiana and all government is a wonderful thing! h/t Jeb Bruneau
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 …
Here is a little glimpse of a small parade and Family Gras. The funniest things is the girls couldn’t wait for Jesse McCartney to perform and then they did not believe it was him!

I know – you all come here for my positive attitude and inspiration, but once in a while, the Princess of Positive gets pissed. Nobody who disrespects our men and women in uniform, past or present, should get away with it! My dear friend Mrs. G (Queen of the Milblogs) posted about stupid stuff said …
The more I experience life – the more I believe in “karma.” After reading the headline below today, I truly believe that the man who stole from this boy who was bitten by an alligator – will get his! Now, what I wish for this man in return from stealing from a young boy may …
It was sad, but not surprising, to read the headlines this morning about the sudden retirement of New Orleans Inspector General Bob Cerasoli. I spoke with Bob on Tuesday after his interview with Eric Asher on WIST. He sounded tired, defeated and I felt the need to reach out to him. I told him that …
