First birthday parties are so much fun. You get to celebrate not surviving a year of sleep deprivation (don’t talk to me if your babies sleep through the night at eight weeks). Your kids are so little that they can’t demand a party based around their favorite cartoon character. You…
My entire life I’ve heard about corn mazes, but I had never heard of one in Louisiana. I assumed it was a northern or a midwest thing and resigned myself to a life without corn mazes. If you see the red barn, you know you’re in the right place! That…
Even though a lot of us (me) think of this primarily as spooky season, for a lot of families this is more like pumpkin season. Or corn maze season. Having been raised in the city, we got our pumpkins at the French Market and there were no fields or corn…
When I was a teenager I’d spend the month of October checking out all the haunted houses in the area. There were so many! I’d spend more time in line than in the haunted house, but I was teenager and had nowhere else to be. It was a great time….

If you know me in real life then you know that I adore all things haunted and spooky. I’m also a TOTAL CHICKEN but that doesn’t stop me from attempting to check out all the scary, haunted things in the area. So when I saw an ad for family-friendly ghost…
You *may* have heard that New Orleans is getting the first zip line course in the area. Sunnie and I were lucky enough to go out before they have even opened and try out the experience and let you all know what we think and what you need to know…
