by

  Last weekend my husband & I went to the 2013 Season Opener for the New Orleans Voodoo. The Voodoo is a local AFL Football team that quenches our need for football when the New Orleans Saints are off-season. Although the N.O voodoo has been around for a few years, this is actually our first time at a Voodoo Game. As I expected we had tons of fun. The New Orleans VooDoo (1-0) opened "the Graveyard" (New Orleans Arena) for a 51-45 overtime victory against its South Division rivals Continue Reading

Get Your Jet Skies Ready for a Last Minute Ski Vacation #Travel

by

If I'm not planning a vacation or business trip, I'm counting the days until the trip is actually here. One region I have never visited is the Colorado area. I LOVE the cold weather, but truly have never been in Colorado cold weather (any -0 F) to know first hand. But the idea of it sounds lovely for a vacation.

This past weekend I was invited to attend a Macy's Culinary Council event in my area featuring Chef Marc Forgione. Most of us love to cook but feel like Continue Reading
