Some Pooch & Kid-friendly Spots In Baton Rouge
My family and I just adopted a German Shepard. He, like my three human kiddos, are wild and adventurous too!
I have not owned a dog since I was a little girl, so I am new to the fact there are dog-friendly and actual spots that encourage pet owners to bring their pooch!

Happy Father’s Day To My Dad
Happy Father’s Day!
It’s time to celebrate the dads. These are the first men we ever love. They show us love, how we deserve to be treated, and they showed us the world.

Did you know every year the last day of February is Rare Disease Day? This day is chosen because it is the rarest day of the year! The mission of this day is to raise awareness and generate change for the 300 million people worldwide living with a rare disease, their families, and their care takers. Organizations and individuals worldwide take up this cause in the hopes of making progress towards finding better treatments and answers for those traveling the tough and lonely road of rare disease.
