It seems like forever since I last blogged here- sorry. Hurricanes are a ton of work to prepare for and even more work awaits afterward.

I blogged about my luxury SUV shopping adventure with this post and this one. I finally decided on the 2013 Infiniti JX35 – its was not a monster truck on wheels and still offered extra seating for seven. We used USAA car buying service and unfortunately our local Infiniti dealer was not part of that …

One thing that came up repeatedly was Nantahala and Nantahala Village Resort. Looked it up on the web, Google Map drive time of 10 hours and ding ding …
This blog documents my life since I moved outside of New Orleans, January of 2007. It is very near and dear to me and I never want to let it go. That being said…finding time to do necessary blog housekeeping has not not happened in a looooong time. One of the things I always want …
This bubble tree is starting to look like a good idea when I have a bad allergic reaction! It has been about 36 hours since my bottom lip blew up the size of both of Angelina Jolie’s lips – combined! Looks like I decided to skip the top lip for Restylane after thoroughly plumping the …

Today is Flag Day and I can only hope to see many people breaking theirs out and fly them proud. We proudly fly one that is lit up, each and every day! Flag etiquette is also a big pet peeve of mine. It is usually because of lack of knowledge that it is not followed. …
Actually…I kind of don’t really mean, “Momcation…all I ever wanted.” But, it was what I truly NEEDED. It has been 6 months since my Dad passed on Jan 8th and since his passing, I have not really stopped to totally decompress. I started my new company Kickify on February 1st… and life has been crazy …
There has been so much horrific and crime overloaded news in New Orleans lately, time to stop and focus on the positive.

Here is the post from my first day. After my first day of Luxury SUV shopping, I changed my mind about what I wanted. I was really all set on having a 5 seater and then realized, that with 5 of us in the family, there was no room for an extra friend! I was …

Breitbart had this link up about one of Louisiana’s own (not my rep thank goodness), who needs a combat boot shoved somewhere. Seriously, Rep Ortego from Acadiana, actually said that he doesn’t want to attract veterans because, “they have a lot of issues.” I do not want to make this political, this is about someone …
