Date Night Ideas in Baton Rouge
My husband and I get tired of the same ole same ole dinner out for date night. We have started implementing activity dates. It's a great way to spend quality time together and have fun making memories. Recently, we went to coffee and played a few morning games of pickleball. Here are some great "activity" date ideas in Baton Rouge and the surrounding areas.

My husband and I are knocking on the 20-year mark... we started dating in high school and were married during college. As I sit back and reflect on the past 20 years, I realize there are a lot of lessons I have learned to maintain our relationship.

It was Tuesday morning when I told my son, David, to take off his pajamas and put on his clothes for the day - for the fifth time. Repeating myself is a pet peeve of mine. I was becoming more frustrated by the second with my little human.
