Spices and supplements can be a challenge because of their size and the number of objects you need to store. A good organizing system makes it easy to see everything and allows easy access. You don't want a system where you have to be searching and moving things around to find what you need. Hidden spices are lost spices.

On November 30,2024, I will celebrate 10 years in sustained recovery. My life is so incredible today. This year alone, we welcomed a new baby into our family, we bought our first home, and my ex-husband and I remarried after being divorced for 5 years (and not speaking at all for 2 of those years). Recovery is possible! But it definitely helps to know all the help available!

New Orleans holds a special place in my heart, not just because of its incredible food, music, and culture—but because I’ve experienced it from two very different, deeply meaningful perspectives.
The first time I visited was after Hurricane Katrina, on a community outreach and educational trip. We worked with local organizations, learned about the city’s resilience, and saw firsthand the strength and spirit of its people. That trip shaped my understanding of New Orleans beyond the tourist lens—it was raw, real, and unforgettable.
Years later, I returned on vacation, this time soaking in the fun and flavor—live jazz spilling from every corner, powdered sugar flying at Café du Monde, and the rich history that pulses through every street of the French Quarter.
This list blends both visits—must-see spots, hidden gems, and places that moved me. Whether you’re heading to NOLA for the first time or planning a return, I hope these experiences show the soul of the city like they did for me.
