Knock Knock Children's Museum :: A Must Visit for Kids in Baton Rouge
Before I had my daughter, I considered myself “the fun auntie” – as I was the only one in my friend group with no kids. I would purposely buy toys that made noise with a bunch of pieces.
Now, I am considering putting no toys on my daughter’s second birthday party invite because my living room looks like Six Flags right now. Seriously! I just cleaned out her toy bin and I swear there are still too many toys! Most are Montessori style, so they don’t make noise but whewww there are still a lot of pieces. I’m tired of tripping over toys! The worst is waiting for...
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.

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...
