Ask any Baton Rouge mom what she wants for her children, and health + wellness will be one of her first responses. Whether it’s the mental health of her teenagers, how much screen time to allow her toddlers or struggling with breastfeeding, moms simply want the best outcome for their children’s overall health.
"I gave all my germs to you!" he proudly exclaimed. He'll be celebrating his fifth birthday in just a few days- during #quarantine2020. This was his way of fixing the problem I guess.
A boy after his mama's own heart- find a problem, find a solution. We hadn't really said a whole lot about Covid-19 in front of him. Beyond extra hand washing and skipping his Pre-K4 class, life was pretty normal for him (or I was at least trying my best). But his proclamation of where he sent his germs had my mama brain reeling.
He gave his germs to Mama because Mamas can fix everythinggg. Except when we can't.

What in God’s name is a Respiratory Therapist (RT)? Simply stated, they are medical professionals who specialize in providing healthcare for your lungs. They are not techs - do not make the mistake of calling them techs (you can thank me later). They are therapists with bachelor’s, masters, and/or associates degrees and can specialize in a load of different things while holding advanced certifications in life saving techniques.
My husband is a Registered Respiratory Therapist here in Baton Rouge. That fact never brought fear to my heart in the past. He works night shifts primarily in the ER at a major hospital, so the worst thing I could think of happening to him was maybe a patient attempted to attack...
With all that’s happening, it’s more important now than ever to invest in our community. While our world has been, up to this point, selfish and isolated--judging people for simply asking for help when they can’t do it all has to change. We have to offer up help any way we can. Here are a few ways you can continue to support your neighbors in this time of social distancing and self-quarantine.
Check-In
Check-in on neighbors, family members, and friends via phone if you are not comfortable with seeing anyone in person. Get past the niceties and weather chat and have conversations about how that person is truly handling this. Some are okay with social distancing, but others may feel down...
Disclaimer :: We 100% understand the severity of the situation we are all facing. Here are six tips for talking to your kids about COVID-19, but while we are homebound, we know many of us mamas and kids alike are feeling a bit anxious and since some studies have shown that music can quell anxiety, we wanted to share this list with you today.
It’s absolute madness surrounding us at the present moment, and I confess it has my anxiety through the roof at this point. Everywhere we turn, bad news is following us and a virus is plaguing us. We have been asked as a nation to keep social distance and to stay home, and it was announced on...
I was at Oak Point, my local grocer, here in South Louisiana. I needed some basics for the home and figured I would go ahead and get some groceries for the week. Monday is coming up, and everyone knows that's a great day for red beans. I pushed my cart to the dry bean aisle to find three. I laughed. Louisiana has priorities in light of potential quarantine: toilet paper, sanitizer, and red beans. I was filled with pride, but all jokes and memes aside, it's important we use a level head and consider all the unintended consequences of work, school, and event closures.
School Closure
This is tough. It's a danged if you do, danged if you don't situation. It...
