We know this time of year there is plenty to do in Baton Rouge with kids, and the cooler temperatures means plenty of fall family fun. However, if you do find yourself wanting to venture out for a day trip, Festivals Acadiens et Créoles is a kid-friendly festival in Lafayette, LA worth the drive. Our local Baton Rouge writers have plenty of family-friendly road trip suggestions from Baton Rouge, as well as tips on enjoying an adventure in the great outdoors! Another one of our favorite outings with kids in Baton Rouge is hiking, but there’s nothing quite like a festival in Southeast Louisiana when the weather is crisp … and that’s why we think you should plan to attend Festivals Acadiens et...
Some of my absolute favorite things about fall are the colors, weather change, and introduction to the holidays! Fall is a time when people become cheerful (is it because it’s getting less hot?) and unified around pumpkins and football. People begin thinking of giving and gifting. Football season rolls in and for Baton Rouge, that means Saints and LSU games! Who doesn’t love a good tailgate?
Here are some of my favorite things to bring to a tailgate/holiday party:
Bacon wrapped dates
These are some of my favorites in a pinch. 2-3 ingredients and ready in under 20 minutes. Although best served warm, they are allergy friendly and DELICIOUS!
Brownies/cookies
My favorite brownies are the gluten-free boxed brownies from Trader Joe’s!

As I have been scrolling social media lately, I have seen more posts about leaving Baton Rouge than anything else. I know crime has been on the top of everyone's minds as the recent news of an LSU student being senselessly killed last week.
As a mom of a seventeen-year-old myself, I have spent the past few days reflecting on what we as a community should be doing differently in and around Baton Rouge. For me, making a statement of leaving or "getting out of dodge" is a bold statement and also takes resources most people do not have at their disposal.
For our family, that is not the answer. For us, we are spending time investing in our community. We...
*This post is not sponsored. My family just loves Tumbles so much, I had to share with our readers.
Y’all. TUMBLES.
I’m telling myself I found the most amazing Hidden Gem of South Baton Rouge. In reality, I’m likely late to the “cool mom” game and everyone already knew about this.But let me rave about my toddler's most favorite place. I mean he wakes up asking to go to Tumbles.I first heard of Tumbles from my PREK4 students. My students came in one Monday ALL sharing about the most fabulous birthday party at a place called TUMBLES.Then shamed me for not taking Henry there. WHAT?
Immediately I look this four-year-old approved place up. They know my Henry and insisted he loved it.
