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. Stacy shops Costco weekly and almost exclusively, while Sara makes a monthly trip to stock up on items she can't find in her hometown grocery stores. They have worked together to create a list of their 12 favorite parts of this Baton Rouge store. My name is Stacy, and I am addicted to Costco. They sell everything. Everything. From organic eggs to yummy pastries, from batteries to beach chairs, from televisions to tires- they even sell cars online!- they sell a wide variety of quality products, and...

We Arrange Our Social Calendar Around Football Schedules. Ladies, you know this is true. If we are planning an event,...

I am a Warrior!

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...
Do you know how to perform CPR on your infant or child? You should! If something goes wrong, the time between when you dialed 911 and when EMS arrives is a critical window. Those three to five minutes can be the difference between life and death. Bystander CPR can double and even triple someone’s chance for survival. That is why Red Stick Moms Blog, The American Heart Association, and Baton Rouge General Medical Center are ready to help you learn those lifesaving skills at “Mom School”. This FREE “mom friendly” event will teach you how to perform infant and child CPR. We know moms are busy, so as a special treat we have something just for you. Baton Rouge General...
We are in a very long process of remodeling our house, so sticking to our budget is very important. A Disney vacation with the kids was not in the budget. Even a weekend trip to the beach was not in the budget. But momma needed a vacation to end the summer! I just wanted some time devoted to having fun with my family. So Baton Rouge here we come! My hubby took a few days off work so he could join us. Day 1: Our first day began at the movies. I took the kids to the $1 movie to see Mr. Peabody and Sherman. Cute, cute movie for all ages. We had a picnic by the fountain and visited Barnes...
