For those of you who don’t know, Galentine’s Day (created by Leslie Knope, herself) is the day before Valentine’s Day that is dedicated to the ladies. It’s basically the ultimate chick day where you grab your besties and have the best day ever! Why? Because we’re awesome! Who doesn’t love a good “girl’s night” anyways?
Here are some ideas to grab the gals and have some fun:
Spa Night
For any ladies who need some rest and relaxation in your life, Bumble Lane is a great choice. Book a massage or a facial and wind down in a soothing and calm environment. Even a simple mani/pedi at your favorite salon would do the trick.
Dinner or Happy Hour
For a more traditional approach,...
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!"

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...
If you’re from Louisiana and like to cook, and you haven’t heard of the Cajun Ninja, do yourself a favor and go check out some of his videos! I love to cook and consider myself to be a pretty good at-home chef, but I have to admit that I’ve learned a lot from watching his videos and trying out the recipes myself.
So when he posted a video for homemade king cake, and I saw that the recipe had cream cheese right in the dough, I knew it was a must make. I immediately went to the store to gather up the ingredients that I didn’t already have on hand and set to work.
Friends, it was an immediate fail. Immediate....
LSU is undefeated and we are the champions, my friends (insert loud cheering and Queen song playing in the background)!
At this point, it feels like Joe Burrow isn’t just LSU's quarterback, he's our nation's quarterback.
I’m not here to talk about Burrow’s Heisman win, his cigar preferences, or even his butt (no matter how nice those are). I am here to tell you about how I’m burying 2019 and the past decade in general. They kicked my butt … my mama butt, my relationship butt, my work-life butt, figuratively, all of my butts …
BUT … they’re over!
As I was watching that historical championship, I recognized something very simple about life and how I can make 2020 not only my year...
Motherhood can be incredibly lonely and isolating. Though our ancestors often lived in large extended family units and shared the responsibilities of child-rearing, modern society has told us that good mothers should be able to handle this monumental task on their own. To up the ante even more, 70% of mothers work outside the home. We're SO busy with work, keeping up the house, and extracurriculars that we often forget to prioritize time to cultivate important relationships with our friends.
Enter, the Facebook group. While there are many downsides to social media (many many), Facebook groups have been a huge source of connection for moms like me. Some might argue that replacing in-person interaction with social media is a negative...
