Ice cream....we all love it, it's even got us screaming for it at times. Just sitting here writing this makes me want to grab a spoon or a shovel for a scoop, but unfortunately my diet won't allow for 7am indulging - well not without banking my Weight Watchers points before hand.

So what ice cream has me skipping a few servings of pasta and bread?


I was just recently introduced to Graeter's Ice Cream and it's simply irresistible. It even says so right on it's label. When heavy hitters like Emeril Lagasse and Bobby Flay favor Graeter’s, you know it has to be good.

The fourth-generation, family-owned company out of Cincinnati stands apart from the rest having pioneered the French Pot process of making only 2 gallons at a time with all-natural ingredients like heavy cream and pure cane sugar. End result… a dense, creamy texture and massive chocolate chips. 

Where can you find Graeter's Ice Cream near you? Great news - it's now available at Winn Dixie. Ju…

Last night my girls and I were invited to the Louisiana Children's Museum, in downtown New Orleans, for a sneak peak of the Talk & Play Center that will open to the public this Saturday, June 2nd. Although this stunning new exhibit is geared toward young children (birth - 8 years old), it's sure to capture the attention of older siblings and parents alike. In fact, my 10 year old is still talking about it today.


Located on the second floor of the Louisiana Children's Museum at 420 Julia Street, the Talk & Play Center incorporates the four key building blocks for language development (vocabulary, storytelling, phonetics and deciphering) into experiential spaces, including a Story Porch, Poet-Tree, Cajun Cottage, Scribble Station and Sapling Stage. Additionally, the Center provides a language-rich environment and resources for parents to engage their child in literacy development. Almost all of the activities can be replicated at home for families to continue the l…
