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!

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.
