Spring time in Baton Rouge can only mean one thing in my house: baseball season. We can practically smell the hot dogs in anticipation.
This time of year always creates a plethora of emotions among my family. Celebrations in the wins and heartbreaks in the losses. The all too-familiar rollercoaster of highs and lows eventually come to an end in late June, which leaves a few months to live in the triumph during the Spring. I previously dabbled in writing about my life as a coach’s daughter in my personal blog, It's a Family Thing. It’s not just a game.
My dad is now in his 10th season at LSU. This is his “job” that relocated our family down south while I...

“It happened so fast,” a reflecting mom said to me. “One minute we are all outside in the yard playing. Then I decided to run inside to turn the oven on and got distracted sorting some mail.

I recently spent a 'First Sunday' checking out the Louisiana Art & Science Museum with our family and some friends. It was the perfect opportunity to experience the museum for the first time since I wasn't sure how much my son would participate (He's only one!). Every 'First Sunday' of the month the Louisiana Art & Science Museum, U.S.S. Kidd, and LSU Museum of Art provide free and reduced price admission to their facilities.

Even if you don't make it on a 'First Sunday', many of the activities are free or reasonably priced -...

I don’t know where she would be without being at St. Lillian. Her inability to communicate like other children would have been a huge hindrance to her in most any other school environment. We know she is getting the best therapy and education possible at St. Lillian. - St. Lillian Parent
