Adventures in Social Media
Travel isn’t just about the adventure of the journey for me, it’s also about the people I meet along the way, and the moments that make the experience. Last week in Las Vegas, a few friends invited me to watch the travesty that was the BCS National Championship game. I proudly showed up to the [...]
I looked online for an easy king cake recipe because I’m not one of those from-scratch kind of people. What I found wasn’t remotely close to what a King Cake is. One of the recipes even called for raisins. This ain’t fruitcake people. I couldn’t find what I was looking for online, so I scrounged [...]
If you don’t know by now, I do enjoy a good cocktail. Properly mixed, cocktails are tasty and don’t cause a hangover. In the past, I chosen to stick with traditional frozen drinks or tried and true cocktails, such as a margarita or similar. Recently, on the Carnival Liberty, I took part in a media [...]
I’m Southern, born and raised. I have never in my life heard of Cheerwine before. Supposedly it’s been around since 1917 and markets itself as the singular soft drink of the South. What? If anything, those little glass bottle Coca-Colas with peanuts might be able to claim that distinction. Or an RC Cola. Or heck, [...]

There are pros and cons to working at the fire department. I work long hours of shift work and sometimes feel like I spend more time at work than with my own family. Yes, I have missed many of those special moments with my kids, but so have my coworkers. That’s a big con. However, [...]
As a frequent traveler, I sometimes forget just how much there is to do in my own city of Baton Rouge, LA. When I’m home, I’m a semi-hermit, relaxing on the back patio with a glass of wine, spending time with my family or an afternoon of writing. When I was invited to an intimate [...]
Before you read any further, I want to make it clear that I’m a grits kinda girl. It’s a staple of any southern childhood and is served beginning at daycare all the way to fine dining restaurants. That being said, I do appreciate the health benefits of oatmeal and its versatility. I’m currently in a [...]
Skinny Cow. Sounds like an oxymoron, but it’s actually a brand of low-fat treats by Nestle. I found a variety pack of Skinny Cow ice cream at Sam’s Club that included two types of cones and a box of Chocolate Truffle Bars. One afternoon I was craving something sweet and decided to go ahead and [...]
Yesterday I spent some free time between doctor’s appointments window shopping at the Mall of Louisiana. I missed out on my morning coffee, since I had to fast, so I mosied upstairs to the food court to get a CC’s Coffeehouse coffee. I was shocked to see that CC’s was no longer located between the [...]
