I ordered myself a new pair of rain boots and they arrived today. Aren’t they cute? And just in time since it’s been raining today and we have more in the forecast the next couple of days. I bought them from a delightful New Orleans store called Fleurty Girl. Here is the link to the…
Ten things I’ve learned from New Orleans
I’ve been praying for those affected by Hurricane Isaac, especially those who are reliving the emotional trauma left over from Katrina. I’m sure it brings back a lot of terrible memories. However, when I first started thinking about my annual Katrina anniversary post a couple of weeks ago, I decided I was going to focus…

She had made a special countdown calendar, decorated with glitter, on which she would cross off each day. To say that this was a big deal for…
Happy Mardi Gras!
Laissez le bon temps rouler! If you’re very observant you may notice that this is the same picture I shared last Mardi Gras. After a busy afternoon making potato salad, jambalaya and beignets, and sharing this meal with my parents, I decided to cheat. Maybe I’ll take a picture tomorrow. Or maybe not. Anyway, as…
The best things in life…
This morning we received one of those phone calls that no one ever wants. One of our dear New Orleans friends passed away during the night. That’s him on the right in the picture above.
