Ultimately, the real joy of being a site owner is that there are lots of tiny wins. Site owners pour hundreds of unseen hours into these sites, and much of it is not apparent to readers or even contributors. Most of us work from home, and many of us are doing the “hidden” work of making the site work. So when a mom approaches you at a playdate to say thank you for putting it on, or when a mom-owned business shares that they exceeded their sales goal because of a campaign, or when a reader messages your site to say that your resource saved their postpartum experience … THAT is what makes you keep going.

What Every Mom Should Know About Southeast Louisiana
#1
We serve all of Southeast Louisiana through our 3 sites and here’s the deal: You will NOT find a friendlier or more relaxed way of living in the United States.
#2
People in South Louisiana are genuine, friendly, hospitable and know how to party. And by the way, we have the best food, too.
#3
If you want to have a good time, become friends with a Louisiana mom.
#4
There’s a reason our state came back as strongly as it did after Hurricane Katrina. It’s the resiliency and loyalty and devotion of its people that makes South Louisiana one of a kind.
#5
None of us are leaving, so you may as well come visit for Mardi Gras and learn how to properly peel a crawfish. We only mail king cakes to those who do.
