Life with Roux #002: Natural Dog Care 101

August 14, 2017 //  by Jenn//  Leave a Comment

Since we live a holistic, natural lifestyle, it only made sense for us to give this same life to our new fur-family member! We discovered that it doesn’t take much effort on our part to give this life gift to our dog because we already have everything we need to feed her. We don’t buy …

Weekly Meal Calendar Printable | Creative Cajun Mama

August 2, 2017 //  by Jenn//  Leave a Comment

Just recently, I found myself trying to figure out what I’m going to be feeding everyone for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. Even though I already planned my meals, I noticed that I was going to the store more often than I wanted, and ultimately spending more than I intended. With homeschooling right around the …

Homeschooling Myths I Once Believed: Until I Actually Did It

Homeschooling Myths I Once Believed | Creative Cajun Mama

July 31, 2017 //  by Jenn//  Leave a Comment

Until I actually dove into homeschooling myself, there were some things that I didn’t fully understand. Don’t homeschool kids become hermit crabs and unsociable from being home all day? Aren’t there certain “requirements” for the kids to be able to “keep up” with the kids in public school? Would I really be able to homeschool …

When You Don’t Catch Fish

When You Don't Catch Fish | Creative Cajun Mama

July 17, 2017 //  by Jenn//  3 Comments

My husband’s first twelve years of life were spent at the very tip of Louisiana, which is pretty much the farthest south you can go down the Mississippi River. Down there in the Venice area, the fish are abundant, and it is the epitome of “Sportsman’s Paradise.”

July 10, 2017 //  by Jenn//  Leave a Comment

Nine months is long enough to grow a human, but it’s also long enough to know what a wild ride it can be when you have a large breed puppy! I titled this post “#001” because I’m positive I’ll have lots to write about our chocolate lab named Roux! Never in a million years would …

What My Social Media Photos Aren't Telling You | Creative Cajun Mama

July 3, 2017 //  by Jenn//  1 Comment

It’s so easy to start thinking your life is less-than-average while scrolling through social media these days. Someone is always on vacation, buying a new car, attending a special event, or their kid has gotten an award for something great. While all of these things are really good things, we have to remember that Facebook …

My Personal Story of How We Took Control of Our Family’s Health with common questions answered below Our journey towards health all started when my oldest son was about two-and-a-half years old, and he lived with a constant runny nose with yellow-green snot.

The Mom That Never Gave Up

May 14, 2017 //  by Jenn//  2 Comments

I can post a nice photo and some mushy stuff about how blessed I am to be a mom, and it’s all true. But, let’s be honest. It gets rough. Life is tough, and many times I want to throw my hands up and say “I can’t do it anymore. Not today.”

Once, I saw a meme that read, “If you like to clean messes you didn’t make, have kids.” This… is… extremely… TRUE. No one warned me.

Cloudy with a Chance of Rainbow

January 24, 2017 //  by Jenn//  Leave a Comment

My Personal Story of Miscarriage and Triumph It was my regular 12-week pregnancy checkup. Nothing out of the ordinary, just the usual visit when the doctor starts putting the heartbeat monitor to your belly to check the baby’s heartbeat. We had already seen the baby’s heartbeat on the ultrasound at 9 weeks, so this visit …

The Reason My Response has Changed

July 7, 2016 //  by Jenn//  2 Comments

Oh brother, how many times have I been asked this question as I’m catching up with an old friend or meeting someone new: “So are you working?” Or “Do you work?” And in a not-so-proud tone, my response was always, “Well, I was working a while back, but now I stay home with the kids.”

I was scared. In October 2010, right after our second child was born, I was sick and tired of feeling the weight of financial strain on our life. I felt a huge burden handling our finances and Ernie felt a burden wondering why he made a decent salary, yet we never seemed to have much left …
