Right after Mardi Gras (worst timing ever), I was at a local craft store with the boys. They were going through a Pixar phase and were especially obsessed with The Incredibles. We went to look for some fabric for...
It's not that I'm not crafty. I am, or at least I like to think I am. Granted, not all of my projects turn out to be Pinterest-worthy (I'm looking at you, Sesame Street cake pops!) But I enjoy...
Being raised in a home speaking a foreign language and practicing different customs has brought bountiful enjoyment in my life. However, let's just say it was challenging at times while growing up. My name was unique: one "n," not...

This farm girl has found herself smack in the middle of a big city. I love everything about New Orleans, and yet I still long for the therapy of growing my own food, canning my own jams, and getting...
We have guns at our house. In fact, we have a few, all different types. We have shotguns, rifles and handguns.
I hope you won’t keep your kid from coming over to play.
We have guns, but we store them in...
So the back to school fuss is over. Thank goodness. The uniforms are bought, the folders are labeled and the first day tears are behind us. It is now time for the routine and schedule to hit their stride...
