ascension: Should I Change The Locks On The Home I Just Purchased? - 01/26/11 09:01 AM
My answer to the question every time is, "YES"!
Many years ago, before I was an agent myself, my husband and I purchased a new home. We were very excited about our next move up in the housing market. The home was vacant when we started the negotiations. We closed within 30 days and everything we well. At the closing the previous owners handed over the keys to our new home. They asked if we were going to move in right away. We told them that we were leaving the next morning for two weeks to visit my husband's family up … (4 comments)

ascension: I Can Do This...I Saw the Video On YouTube! - 01/02/11 02:30 PM
Two days before New Years Day I decided I wanted bangs. They are coming back in style... right?  Of course, I decided that I wanted them and I wanted them NOW! No time to wait for a hair appointment and I didn't want to spend the extra money anyway. Any of this sounding familiar to you? Well, that evening I decided that I was going to do it myself. I hopped on YouTube and searched "How To Cut Your Own Bangs". Watching the videos, I thought well, this is simple. I can do this! Discounting all the posts that warned me I … (3 comments)

ascension: East Baton Rouge, Ascension and Livingston Parish Fireworks Information - 12/30/10 02:13 PM

If you live in East Baton Rouge Parish all forms of fireworks are illegal for you.
Cross the line over to Ascension Parish and you will find numerous fireworks stands filled with the delightfully fun explosives. Fireworks in Ascension Parish are legal except for the areas of Gonzales and Donaldsonville.
Drive a little ways down Interstate 12 into Livingston Parish and you will again find numerous fireworks stands just waiting for you to stop by. It is my understanding that fireworks in Livingston Parish are legal in all areas except for the cities of Denham Springs and Walker.

It's that time of year again folks!  Time for the Jambalaya Festival here in beautiful Gonzales, Louisiana!
For 43 years, we have celebrated the wonderful food that put us on the map, Jambalaya!  What is Jambalaya you ask?  OK, I know I have readers not from here so here ya go.  Jambalaya is a wonderful blend of pork, chicken, sausage and/or andoullie cooked down to tender perfection, married with the flavors of onion, bell pepper, garlic and other seasonings then cooked all together with rice.  Melt in your mouth goodness!  Jambalaya is probably one of my most favorite foods.

There is a fabulous home for sale in Longwood Subdivision in beautiful Ascension Parish.
This home's location is so conveniently located yet so incredibly private.
The large covered patio in the back that overlooks the pond is exactly where I would spend my afternoons and weekends.  I bet you will agree when you experience the peacefulness for yourself.
