Dining Out

Valentine's Day is right around the corner. Have you made dinner plans yet? Have you picked out a gift yet? I am going to assume your answer is NO and you have that grimace on your face that says "Darn it, I forgot about Valentine's Day!" Have no fear Theresa is here to help (picture me wearing a red cape and superhero music is playing in the background)! If you want to wow your significant other and get away from the same ole, same ole, I have a few suggestions for you. 1.) Houmas House Estate and Gardens   This is probably one of my favorite places in Louisiana. The gardens are stunningly beautiful, and you can easily get lost in a romantic...

Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Rotolo's Pizzeria. Pizza Night at Rotolo's :: Feeding Everybody in the Family Pizza. It may be the most versatile food out there. But not all pizza is created equally. As a working mom (and someone who loves delicious food), pizza is a frequent dinner choice. And when you ask my 7 year old what kind of pizza she wants, the answer is always Rotolo's.  Tonight was no exception, and our family of four met after camp and work for a delicious meal at the Perkins location in Baton Rouge. We have a new baby, so a lot of considerations go into when and where we eat at local restaurants. Often it means that my husband picks...

My birthday is coming up, which makes me feel a bit overwhelmed. I honestly don't give a flip about age; I'm more concerned about how to celebrate and what options are available nearby. With four kids, we're not that interested in (nor can we afford) going away for a long weekend kid-free. So you won't see any of that here.

So of course when the Ruby Slipper reached out to see if we wanted to try out their new limited time specials, it was a no brainer! Without further ado here are our top reasons to check out your local Ruby Slipper!!  1. The Food  So this may be an obvious one, but y’all the food is out of this world! Everything has that homey taste that you...

When looking for a new activity or family outing, I often turn to my family and friends for inspiration. If my fellow moms or best friends suggest it, then it must be good, right? That’s why I put together three things I am loving right now to hopefully introduce something new to you and your family. Red Stick Farmers Market With the cooler weather here, I’m finding our family is spending more and more time outside. One of the ways we love to spend Saturday mornings outside is at the Red Stick Farmers Market. Located downtown on Main Street, this market is home to local farmers selling delicious local produce and meat. From Louisiana strawberries to local grass-fed beef, you can...
