What an absolutely beautiful day we had today in New Iberia! I know I was not the only one itching to get out and breathe in the fresh air and just enjoy a true Spring day in southeast Louisiana! This week has flown by for me as I get ready to prepare for Cajun Country ParaCon with my friends at Louisiana Spirits, who by the way are our newsletter sponsors for this week. We greatly appreciate their support and can't wait to spend the day at Vermilionville this weekend with the team.
I have spent a lot of time this week updating our event calendar with more Easter Egg Hunts, festivals, and resources for families from New Iberia to Morgan City. While we focus on highlighting free, or low-cost family friendly events, we also like to add local resources like job fairs, parenting classes, and other events that offer other ways for our community to come together. There is no shortage of happenings around Acadiana this week, so I am sure there is something for every bunny to do! We have our top five recommendations listed below and a few of our favorite articles of the week to highlight in this week's newsletter below:
- Make Your Own Spring Rolls for a Simple No-Cook Meal
- Messages from the Other Side: Inside a Reading with Sarah Lemos
- Kids Will Love to Create this Flower Garden from Recycled Magazines
- 10 Ways Summer Camp Prepares Your Kid for Life — Without Them Knowing
