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 …

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...
It was the talk of every holiday get-together that year. Between the glittery attire and bourbon breaths, I could hear his name over and over again followed by a labored sigh or a mighty roll of the eye. The storied Les Miles had been fired earlier that year, and the interim coach was no longer interim – he had been hired by LSU. No one I encountered was happy about the decision; words like “embarrassing,” “humiliating,” “joke” were interwoven through the discussions. At times I felt the criticisms had less to do with his tenure at LSU or his overall resume. Conversations about Coach O were usually tinged with jabs at his accent, his overall demeanor, and his ability...
