Keeping Our Babies Happy & Healthy #RSVprotection

by

Being a mother to 2 school aged children & working full-time in healthcare, I am constantly reminded of germs. Like most mothers, I do everything I can do protect my children (as well as other children) by being extremely cautious every cold & flu season.

Finding a Springtime Connection #NIVEAmoments

by

Last night I recounted my Saturday off of work to my husband and it went something like this: "Today I made our family breakfast, cleaned house, did laundry, went grocery shopping, made lunch, went to church and went out to dinner with the family.

Since we have almost 2 acres of land, we are fortunate enough to have a large garden every summer and now, the opportunity to have chickens. Why Continue Reading

Having lived in Southeast Louisiana for over 23 years I have had my fair share of Mardi Gras King Cakes. My family & I look forward to Mardi Gras.
