Slurping wetly and noisily at the nourishment that is New Orleans
I’ve been busy surviving this thing called life lately, and avoiding the Realtor browse, neglecting my ritual self flagellation in the interest of sanity. Not only will I never be able to buy a house, I am no longer 100% positive I’d want to buy one in New Orleans, even […]
When you live in a small, tight-knit neighborhood like Algiers Point, you’re bound to hear about new happenings just by visiting the corner bar. Point in fact, it was while in line at Joel’s Lobster Rolls pop-up hosted outside the Crown & Anchor Pub that I heard about Tonti’s Hand. […]

John and I began dating exclusively way back in 2005, and though we started living together a year later, it wasn’t until 2014 that we started to celebrate Christmas. Neither of us is religious, but the holiday season was a big deal in my family. Putting up the tree and […]
It’s all too easy to find a gorgeous mansion on Realtor.com to ooh and aah about on my blog, there are so many! But today I felt like a challenge. I wanted to find a house in my price range that I could get excited about. Lo and behold, after […]
The more I look at houses for sale, the more I am disappointed by the culture-eradicating renovations I discover. Developers and contractors are tearing the heart and soul out of New Orleans’ architecture and it honestly makes me want to weep. While I appreciate some new design, there’s a lot […]
When I found today’s house, Judy Garland’s voice reverberated through my brain singing “A Cottage for Sale.” Though I’m not mourning a failed relationship per se, I am mourning a love unrequited because I know that this adorable little abode and I will never be together (cue a deep sigh).
