If you saw yesterday's post, then maybe you were inspired to declutter...especially before the influx of gifts this holiday season. Simplifying and "getting rid of stuff" is not always the easiest process, but focusing on the end goals help: a more organized home, sending your things to be used and enjoyed by someone else, or maybe even making some extra cash. This is your guide for what to do with all the STUFF right here in Baton Rouge.
If you're not sure where to start with a purge, start small. Look for clothes that no longer fit and toys that aren't age appropriate or don't see much play time. It's ok if you aren't quite ready to get rid of...
This is a hard post to write. I want to show my passion for diversity, but I don’t want to be preachy. I want to be real and honest, but I don’t want to offend. I want to be bold, but I don’t want to be bossy. All I can share is what is in my heart and what we have chosen to do as a family.

Though our social worlds and occupational worlds may be fully integrated, for some reason, our faith communities remain, in large part, fairly homogenous. Our separations can stem from differences in race, class, economics, and culture. My...
Last Summer, Costco opened here in Baton Rouge. Costco is a membership warehouse club, known for its great service, organic options, and low prices. Stacy and Sara both love Costco, but for different reasons.

Some misguided souls assume that women do not like football. While that may be true for some women of course, many of us live for the blessed season. Dare I say especially in the South? We are raised down here to love the game and integrate it into our families, our lives. Football season for us is more than tolerating our husbands’ football demands.

Ladies, you know this is true. If we are planning an event,...
Hello, heart patient. What are you doing in a Warrior Dash?! Has your cardiologist given you clearance for a 5K?!? Yes!! (That's me in the front.)
It’s been almost four years since my aortic dissection, ( you can read about my story here www.myhearthasastory.wordpress.com) and almost a year since my last 5K.
I’m still tired most days, but upcoming events seem to give me a boost of energy. You know how planning your vacation can be just a fun as the actual trip?
I want to safely live life to the fullest. Tomorrow isn’t promised to any of us, but I am reminded of that every day when I see the open-heart surgery scar on my chest in the mirror. My doctor has...
