This year has been a busy one including, deaths in my extended family, trips to visit family in Georgia and Texas, and finishing up the school year at home. What does all that mean? After a couple of trips and just everyday life, our laundry got behind. I didn’t see a way out of the […]
Last week, Brandon was out of town for most of the week so I didn’t stick to a normal meal plan. I knew the kids and I could sort of “wing it” with food. I made a big seafood gumbo and we ate that for about two days (gumbo is much better the day after […]
My favorite season, summer, is well underway. It’s already been an adventurous summer keeping the kids busy, car trouble, and lots of outdoor activities. One thing we haven’t done much of is make cocktails. This was last year’s summer cocktail. But, enough is enough – it’s cocktail time! I’m finally sharing a delicious, original cocktail, […]
It’s been a while since I’ve shared what my family is having for dinner or just dinner ideas in general. Summer is busy and I’ll be honest. I haven’t been meal planning like I normally do. As a busy Mom, I just let it go this summer. Maybe you did too! With school a few […]

This is one recipe I’ve been wanting to share for some time but it takes enough work to make the dish. I’m never up to photographing it but this time around I tried to squeeze in some pictures. It’s a macaroni and cheese recipe that I’ve been working on for a few years now. Ever […]
Every spring and summer, we get inspired with new recipes. Fresh fruit is everywhere, the sun is shining, and the days are longer. It just really inspires us to try new recipes, especially cocktails. What new garnish can we try? What kind of glass would go well with that drink? A new liqueur, yeah! Because […]
Look who is here! Spring has made it’s appearance and is looking mighty fine. Yes, it’s still chilly in Louisiana, but winter is officially over. I tried really hard to find things to love about winter. We bought a fire-pit at the end of summer and it came in handy during the winter months. During […]
Since October 2018, I’ve been working behind the scenes on a big idea. Around that time, I started exploring the idea of opening up an a shop to sell curated goods. Some of you may or may not know the following. In the past, I’ve sold vintage and antique items, even traveling 3 hours away, […]
