About Me

I am a native of Acadia Parish and moved to St. Landry Parish after meeting my husband of 13 years   

I am also a mother to 3 incredible children and wear many hats from full time mom, part time substitute teacher, part time freelance writer and (now publisher/editor) among many other pursuits. Whew! 

I love what I do and do what I love which is why I have my hand in so many things. I'm passionate about my many endeavors and learning new things. I also enjoy spending time with my family and doing fun activities together.



We are always on the lookout for things to do that are closer to home and explore new activities. It became only fitting to become part of a platform that allows me to share those experiences and family fun events with parents in our local communities. Growing up in a small town and moving to yet another small town I've come to love so many things about these communities and connecting families. I find our smaller communities have more to offer than many might think. You just have to look hard enough, but don't worry. I've done that for you!

In 2020, Macaroni Kid merged forces with CertifiKid, a nationally recognized website that offers discounts on kids' activities and family experiences.
