The Heat Is On :: LSU Vs UCLA Maison was excited yet exhausted. We had just left his football game Saturday morning on our way to the LSU vs UCLA game. It was a family affair, my sister, brother and sister in-law and my niece who is a future tiger, came to watch the game with us. Before we got to LSU, we stopped and bought cooling rags to keep us from getting overheated and even passing out. We felt the heat for Maison game at 9am. We were going to feel the heat at 2:30pm game.   That did not stop the adrenaline rush we all shared when we arrived at tailgating to party with the Tigers and Fans. Purple and...

We found one in a kind of surprising place, a brewery. Located in Denham Springs, Le Chien Brewing Company is a family, and pet, friendly craft brewery. This place feels like a hidden gem that shouldn't be hidden! A few years ago I was scrolling social media one day and I came across a children's book reading. It sounded like a fun, free, activity for my young kids. As an added bonus it was located at a Le Chien Brewing Company, it seemed like a good way to try...

Shop and Save :: Second Hand September (or Any Month!) If you're like me, your focus is all over the place you're in charge of balanced meals and balanced budgets. Kids grow so fast and something that fits one day may not fit the next. Shopping can become a chore or a challenge. I'm always looking for a great deal and shopping second hand is a great way to save. Selling your preloved clothing is also a great way to fund your new items. I'll be honest, I'd not heard of Second Hand September before I got email encouraging me to shop a resale site. I was interested. What was it? Why was it created? Is it just a marketing tactic?...
