On Good Friday, my husband and I decided to have a “Lily” day and take her to the movies, just the three of us. Of course, she chose the new Hannah Montana movie. Honestly, I thought the opening day would be a sell out, so I bought tickets in advance and we arrived at the theater [...]
Who is your pick?? Every year, some friends of mine do a basketball pool for March Madness. For the last 5 years (at least!), I have made my picks based on a VERY Scientific and fail-proof method. No, my picks are not based on statistics, coaches, winning streaks or talent. My method is quite simple…….mascots. [...]
How many times do your little ones get out of bed at night? Lily runs a whole gamut of excuses just about every night including, but not limited to: “I have to potty.” “I need a drink of water.” “I need a Kleenex.” “I have to potty AGAIN.” “I need another hug and kiss.” But, [...]
[private] Seriously, I just never know what this child with come up with next! This morning, I was getting Aubrie dressed for daycare while Lily sat next to me. Aubrie always plays what I call the “Uh-Oh” game in the mornings which basically consists of her throwing herself onto her back from a seated position, [...]
Snow is a foreign concept to most native New Orleanians. I can count on one hand the number of times I have seen snow in my 34 years of life. It snowed here in 1989 when I was sick and my Mom wouldn’t let me go outside. It snowed in 2004 when I was VERY [...]
Dance has always been a huge part of my life. At 2 years old, my Mom put me in dance classes as a last desperate attempt to enroll me in SOMETHING to socialize with kids my age. I hated nursery school, swim class and pretty much anything that involved leaving my Mom’s hip. The first [...]
I’m no Betty Crocker. It’s no secret to my family and friends that I just do NOT bake. My mother (I love her dearly) was not so great in the kitchen either, so growing up, I really didn’t have anyone to teach me. Fortunately, my hubby knows how to cook and he prepares our dinner [...]
Last weekend, my hubby and I took the girls to Boo at the Zoo at New Orleans’ Audubon Zoo. The festival includes trick or treating, a carousel, games, prizes, food, music, haunted house and…..the ghost train (insert scary music here). The train is basically a tram that rides around the Zoo while various ghouls and [...]
[private] Trisha asked that I write a small article in order to introduce myself to the MomDot readers. When I sat down to figure out what to say, I drew a complete blank. Because my husband loves me (I think), I asked him, “What makes me interesting? What would people want to know about me?” [...]
If you haven’t noticed, every week I am bringing you a brand new recipe that includes pork; a hearty and healthy alternative to other meats on your dinner plate during the week.In my house Charlotte can spot a “not chicken” meal like 100 miles away, so the key to getting her to eat other meat, [...]
This post brought to you by Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine. If your family is like mine it’s large and sick. Okay seriously, my family really is large by today’s standards (with 4 kids I can get away with anything), and they often only share one thing… germs. That’s why I enjoy sharing things [...]
I personally have yet to gather up enough courage to ever get a tattoo. When I was about 19, I nearly got a frog tattooed on my shoulder. I am sure … [Read More...]
Look at what arrived for me in the mail yesterday..... Then my spouse brought home a 6 pack of gourmet cupcakes. Oh, you only see four? … [Read More...]
