Can we talk about spouse appreciation for a minute? Let’s think about the men behind the blogs, the boyfriends, the husbands, those partners that are our other half and do so much for us. Sometimes I feel like a slacker in the show your hubby appreciation department. Can anyone else relate? It’s not that I don’t appreciate everything my husband does, and he does a lot, it’s that…

How to Transition Your Dog to a New Food
The weather has been so gorgeous here lately, which has called for many doggy play dates that the dogs can’t seem to get enough of.

Ways to Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day
I look forward to St. Patrick’s Day almost as much as I look forward to Mardi Gras. That’s because here in Louisiana, we find any reason to celebrate and throw a good party. When it comes to celebrating St. Patrick’s Day in Louisiana, it’s almost like an extension of Mardi Gras with all the parades, parties, and food.

DIY Easter Egg Bouquet
We already had bags of Easter candy in the house, so I figured I might as well put some of it to use. I put together this cute DIY Easter egg bouquet and it reminds me of a candy bouquet and Easter egg hunt in one! It was pretty simple to make, but does require a bit of patience if I’m being honest!

Good morning and Happy Mardi Gras y’all! Everywhere else it’s just Tuesday, but down here in Louisiana it’s Fat Tuesday and time to celebrate the final day of Carnival Season! The streets are filled with parade goers dancing and drinking, the grills are fired up and the crawfish pots are boiling, the neutral grounds look like a college game day tailgate and we’re ready to let the good times roll…
Cajun Crawfish Omelet
I used to be terrified of making my own omelets. There was something about the idea of having to flip the egg that gave me all the fear of my meal being a total disaster. I chalk that fear up to my previous experience with trying to make pancakes (helloooo runny mess everywhere), but that’s a different story for a different day…

I love to cook meals at home, but if there’s anything I’ve learned over the years it’s that without weekly meal planning, cooking at home feels like a chore during the week. Meal planning is the only thing that helps us meet our diet goals, otherwise busy schedules take over and fast food and takeout starts to sound like the better option…
The Jersey Report: Top Selling NFL Jerseys
I’ve been overdue with getting a new jersey, so this football season I wanted to expand my collection outside of my favorite team and focus on some of my other favorite players across the league. One of those players just so happens to be Mr. Odell Beckham Junior himself, coming in at #2 for the most popular selling jersey of the season! I felt it was only fitting considering we share the same alma mater! Geux Tigers! No band wagon fan here…
New Orleans Breakfast Bucket List
They say you can take the girl out the south, but you can’t take the south out the girl. That saying couldn’t be more true, and boy did I miss my southern food when I lived up north for two years. If you’ve visited New Orleans, I’m sure you too would agree that some of the best food you’ll ever taste can be found there. There’s so much good food that it may be hard to decide where to begin if it’s your first time visiting, so…
