A grandmother’s milk-carton money stash kicks off a delightfully honest ride through family lore, Cajun tradition, and the small luxuries that keep parents sane. We trade freezer hacks for hiding chocolate, debate the sacred “good towel,” and share why some comforts are worth guarding—especially when you’re trying to raise grateful kids who don’t expect the world on a silver platter.

From Church Point’s courir to the kids’ alcohol-free run with clean music, we map out a family-forward Mardi Gras in Acadia Parish that’s rich with costumes, chicken chases, king cakes, and community. If your only reference is balcony beads, this season flips the script with heritage, hospitality, and a calendar full of can’t-miss events. We sprinkle in listener gems—broccoli-bag decoys, nightstand candy troves, chicken-liver-container disguises—and laugh our way through candy nostalgia, from Werther’s dishes to church runts and the ongoing war against green apple everything.

Under the humor sits a simple truth: boundaries and rituals shape a home. A big mug that stays yours, a bath in quiet, and a chocolate square no one else claims can refill the well so you can give better the rest of the day. We close with an invitation to build traditions your kids will remember—popsicles at grandpa’s shop, a candy jar by the door, and maybe a trip to Cajun Mardi Gras that turns into a story you tell for years.

Subscribe, share with a friend who needs a laugh, and tell us: what little luxury do you keep just for you? Your tip might make someone’s week.
