Dining Out

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.

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...

RaceTrac Pizza, Our Secret to a Hectic Day You know those days, the ones you have ALL THE THINGS scheduled on? Carpool, bible study, carpool for kid 1, carpool for kid 2, homework, soccer practice, youth group ... ugh! For me, it’s Monday’s giving the song Manic Monday a whole new feel. These are the days that I’m just too exhausted to meal plan, or if I’m being honest, I just plain forget! But I’ll let you in on a little secret: we have a quick, affordable place where everyone in my family can customize their dinner and we all walk away happy! From pizza...
