Our Three Favorite Places for Sweet Treats In Baton Rouge
The sweet treats that bring us joy! For my sons and me, there's no better celebration than a trip to the Great American Cookie Company in Zachary, our favorite ice cream haven. This place is the real deal - they let us try ALL the flavors (yes, you read that right ... all of them!) without judging us. It's like they know we're on a mission to find the perfect scoop. And, let me tell you, it's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it!
But ice cream isn't the only treat we obsess over. Every year, we make a pilgrimage to Coffee Call off of College St. (best name ever,...

Mrs. Roper was a beloved middle-aged character, the wife of the landlord, from the old sitcom "Three's Company" which aired in the late 1970's to the mid 1980's.

Worth the Drive :: The Preserve in Fredericksburg, Texas
My first experience with an elephant encounter was at the Baton Rouge Zoo. I can only remember this experience by a photograph that I took as a toddler perched on top of a huge elephant with a big smile on my face. After that, I loved weekend visits to the local zoo to see all the animals and loved to see these majestic creatures from afar.
I became fascinated with elephants when I worked as a trainer abroad in Mumbai, India. The elephant is considered a sacred animal in India. They are a symbol of protection, compassion, strength, wisdom, stability, and power. One of my greatest memories of my work trip was...

A 6 Hour Drive to Austin to Experience a 4th of July Bucket List :: Fireworks on Lake Travis
I have never experienced fireworks like the Fourth of July I had in Austin where I rented a kayak and my girlfriend's paddle boards to go out before sunset, to find the perfect location on Lake Travis. There are so many places to rent if you do not have your own. The water was filled with a crowd that consisted of rafts, kayaks, paddle boards and other inflatables. As the sun went down on the water, we enjoyed the beautiful sunset as the crowd decorated themselves with glow in the dark bracelets and necklaces and other light up gear. The Austin...
