Knock Knock Children's Museum :: A Must Visit for Kids in Baton Rouge
Before I had my daughter, I considered myself “the fun auntie” – as I was the only one in my friend group with no kids. I would purposely buy toys that made noise with a bunch of pieces.
Now, I am considering putting no toys on my daughter’s second birthday party invite because my living room looks like Six Flags right now. Seriously! I just cleaned out her toy bin and I swear there are still too many toys! Most are Montessori style, so they don’t make noise but whewww there are still a lot of pieces. I’m tired of tripping over toys! The worst is waiting for...
Road Trip “Reads” :: Audiobooks for the Whole Family
Hitting the road for that summer beach vacation, Thanksgiving trip to Grandma’s or Mardi Gras break to Disney World and looking for something to entertain the whole family? Try audiobooks.
Audiobooks are quickly becoming my favorite way to consume books. I’ve always dabbled in audiobooks, but recently I’ve been getting the audiobook and ebook for every title I read. I think audiobooks are a great tool to engage the whole family in a story.
I think we’re all looking for ways to connect with our kids in new and healthy ways. Reading is a great way to do so, but it’s not always easy to do. Summer reading or vacation assignments aren’t necessarily...
Get to "Reading" with Audiobooks
June was audiobook appreciation month, and let me just say, I appreciate audiobooks. I’ve never been closer to meeting my reading goal as I am this year, and the year is only half over. I love audiobooks for a variety of reasons: they’re easily accessible, they allow for multitasking, it’s the equivalent of being told a story (and who doesn’t love being told a story). Audiobooks are also great for epic books that may be intimidating to read, or books set in alternate universes with made up words! I love to have both the audiobook and the ebook and either follow along in the ebook, or pick up from where the audiobook left off if...
Midsummer Resolutions Because January Was Years Ago
Now that it’s July and the January resolutions have been (cough) done, it’s time for some midsummer resolutions!! I absolutely love my life but so many things have happened since January that have made me rethink my priorities. I’ve neglected so many of my blessings. I hope someone reads this and can relate.
Spending Family Quality Time with My Parents.
My parents are so positive and supportive. They will stop everything if they feel like my spirit is down. I mean they will move mountains. It’s incredible that I can call my dad to pick my kids up from school if I need to even though he lives 2.5 hours away. Or when I was...
Meet Six Exchange Students Who Would Make Great Honorary Cajuns
The exchange student program was established to encourage Americans to share their culture while experiencing a new one. At its core, it serves as a tool for international diplomacy. It's an incredible opportunity that you can learn more about here.
As a local coordinator, I have the joy of reviewing exchange student profiles to find students who will fit in well with our vibrant Louisiana culture. As we approach the upcoming school year, I’d like to take a moment to introduce a few exchange students who are still searching for a host family and would be the perfect addition to a Louisiana family.
