While planning your holiday shopping this year, I’d like to encourage you to spend your dollars with locally owned small businesses who rely on our support to keep their doors open as they provide not just goods and services, but jobs and tax dollars that benefit us directly. November 26, 2011 marks the second annual…
Today is the soft opening of Petite Cupcakes in Gretna and the ladies were nice enough to allow me to take a sneak peek during their last minute preparations for the grand opening of their location at 2766 Belle Chasse Highway in Gretna. The store was filled with cupcakes and a whirlwind of activity as…
Whenever I need something done around my house, I try to always call my not-so-handy hubby a local professional. If I can find someone who is on the West Bank as well, I consider it a bonus and when I get stellar service from them I’ve found a winner I feel like I can share…
Even though Black Friday has come and gone, I’m sure that there are still lists and lists of gifts to be bought between now and Christmas. We’d like to take a moment to encourage everyone to shop locally during the holidays and help support not just the small business owners, but the metro area economy…
When I got up this morning, the sun was shining, the humidity had finally dropped enough to get rid of the stickies and there was a gentle breeze blowing…too beautiful to stay inside for sure! To get an early start on the holiday weekend, we ran over to the Gretna Farmer’s Market to check out…

We haven’t had very many showers this April, but the gardens are starting to recover from the deep freezes we experienced this winter and the flowers are either making a come back or are settling in to their newly dug homes. It’s that time of year (before the heat sets in) that everyone is out…
Driving along River Road in Waggaman LA, you are just as likely to pass right by the Cedar Grove Tchoupitoulas Plantation as notice it. It doesn’t fit the stereotypical vision of a plantation home at all. Instead, it’s more of an Acadian styled home that blends in behind the beautiful oaks in the front yard. …
I know, it’s kind of lame that I would get excited that the tree man showed up at my house today. But he’s my favorite guy at this time of year, because he keeps us from being inundated with Buck Moth caterpillars every spring. See this mean looking little guy? That’s a Buck Moth caterpillar….
