This post is sponsored by Clifty Farms Country Meats.Our family loves breakfast.

If that doesn't ring a bell with you, you probably didn't grow up in the South. We happen to love breakfast for lunch or dinner, so last week, mama cooked up a … [Read more...]
Organizing the Basement
by January 17, 2019
How's that for an inspiring post today? Let me just say, I'm no Marie Kondo! I've just been listening in to her show on Netflix, have you seen it?

Covington and Mandeville, LA
by May 1, 2018
Hey there! I had so much to share that I needed to break this New Orleans visit up into 2 parts, so today it's shopping in Covington, a really cute town over on the North Shore of Lake Pontchartrain. And let me tell you, this is one giant lake! Driving across the bridge from New Orleans to Covington is around 24 miles, so it take a few minutes to get over there. But, it's totally worth it to do … [Read more...]
