Party Time & Candy Making
Did you know that Party Time's owner, Donna Travis, has been making homemade chocolate candies around the holiday season for more than 30 years? It continues to be a family tradition, even within Party...
When I had my first daughter, I knew I wanted to teach her all the things that would help her to be independent. One skill set I thought was really important was learning to use tools. Growing up, my mom was pretty handy, fixing small things around the house. As I got older, I have known a few girlfriends who work on their cars. Not only is it impressive(!!!), but I would have saved some money during my broke college years.
When I found that Home Depot offered FREE kid's workshops, I knew it was something for my family!

We moved to Louisiana about 3 years ago, in the middle of the fall. New friends asked if I had questions about living here, and I did. I grew up in St. Louis where we have all four seasons. Scorching summers, snow in the winter, blossoming mild springs, and gorgeous, pumpkin filled, chilly falls. By late October, I was looking for fall in Louisiana. When was it coming? I wasn't giving up on my favorite season.
I soon discovered that while we do LOVE living in Baton Rouge, I was going to have to be creative to pass on a love of a cold, colorful fall the way I remember it to my boys. When our boys lived in Oklahoma,...
As I try to explain to you, my curly-haired two-year-old with a cinnamon crusted mouth and a quivering lip, the reason mommy and daddy need to watch ESPN's College Gameday and not another episode Mickey Mouse, my teacher training takes over. I attempt to explain. I attempt to compromise. I attempt to refocus. I attempt to re-explain. After a while, I see a teachable moment in this lazy morning that you surely don't see right now -- sometimes we can't always get what we want. And in that moment, I realize that there are many lessons to be learned through the storied history of LSU Football. I'll go ahead and write them down, because you're ten seconds from a...
As LSU Football season approaches, I felt that it was appropriate to share a little bit about my family’s unusual relationship with LSU.
My mother has always been an avid football fan. She exudes a lot of passion while watching football on TV or in person, it truly does not matter the team, although she has her favorites. I have fond memories from my childhood of trying to fall asleep and hearing her scream for dear life at the TV and not because there was a murderer in the house. She not only supported the teams with such fervor, but also the band. Whether we were at local high school football game or a parade, she supported and cheered for...
