A Little Southern California Beach Time
My husband is doing more traveling this year and that means opportunity for me to tag along on some of his trips. In March, he spent a week in Los Angeles and Redondo Beach. So there was no way I was passing up flying out there for the weekend. It’s easy to get to LA…

Travel is key to happiness
I’ve always wanted to be a travel writer. It’s not a dream that I’ve been able to accomplish fully. However, a couple of years ago, I was able to join a blog that allowed me to write about some of my great travels. While blogging for the Pedacitos Blog has been awesome, the change in…

Changing habits, one minute at a time
Changing habits in life is not always easy. From working out consistently to eating healthier and everything in between, I know I’ve made efforts over the years, often repeating some of the same ideas when one doesn’t work. Let’s be frank, though, many of those habits I try to form just don’t click. I refuse…

The Anticipation of Something Fun
Finally, after two years, Mardi Gras celebrations are back in New Orleans. And it couldn’t have come at a better time. Sure there is Covid still around. And if anyone is honest with themselves, it’ll always be around. But now we have the benefit of knowing how it’s spread as well the vast access to…

New Year, So Many Changes
It’s been a while since I’ve blogged. Quite frankly, the reasons vary but mostly it was lack of inspiration combined with laziness on my part. Overall, the past 2 years have been a bit of a blur. Not necessarily in a good way. Between Covid restrictions consistently changing to job requirements, Chuck and I did…

A week in Vegas was perfect
Chuck and I took a long overdue week to travel to Las Vegas and man, I’m so glad we did. After postponing our September trip there due to Hurricane Ida, we were really looking forward to getting away for a bit. Although we both had a little work to do, we were able to still…

We’re good, and that’s good enough for now
Less than a week after Hurricane Ida blew through New Orleans and the surrounding areas, I still haven’t fully exhaled. We are fine. Our apartment had no damage and other than losing everything in our refrigerator due to no power, sustained no huge financial hit. But after the year and a half we’ve had, Chuck…

How is this year half done?
It seemed like yesterday we were breathing a sigh of relief that 2020 was over. Although we were still in the midst of mask wearing and staying as far away from others as we could, we knew that 2021 brought a sense of hope. This year has been busy. Between work travel for my husband…

Friend time is the best time
This past weekend, a few friends and I headed to Fairhope, Alabama to visit one of my very first New Orleans pals, Tricia. She had moved to Fairhope several years ago and this was the first time we have all been able to head over there. Fairhope is the cute town between Mobile and Gulf…

Is it May already?
I looked up and it’s May. I know that sounds so odd because in one way, the past 14 months or so have seemed like the longest ever. But in another way, it’s as if time is flying by. This year has brought on even more change, with Chuck traveling more for work and me…
