I surely am! I must admit, I only like to watch the fourth quarter of a football game. I don’t consider myself a huge “football fan”. I would say that I am more a huge “football season” fan! Rarely do I really care who wins the game, but I do get really excited about planning a menu of too much food and having a house full of family and friends every Saturday.
When I watch college football, I always think more about the players’ moms than the player. Just sending my fourth grader and two-year-old back to school this year made this momma’s heart ache just a bit. We all worry about our kids going back to school, doing well, finding friends and being happy. So, I can’t help but think about these players’ moms, watching their babies on the field, with the weight of thousands of fans sitting on their shoulders. I’ll just say, I hope my children stick with golf. Other than my slightly unreasonable concern for those mommas, I am proud to be a part of this American tradition we call Football Season.
Fall brings more than just football. It brings much anticipated cooler weather, the beginning of the holiday season, and everywhere you look, a new “pumpkin spice” something is readily available. The changing of any season brings new excitement and a fresh start. This issue of Lola Magazine is packed full of fun ideas and events. Lola Party presents “Havana Nights” will be one event that you don’t want to miss! The Red River Revel is back and better than ever for 2018. We have all the scoop on interior décor trends, entertaining, and what you need to get Game Day ready. I also have the great honor to share the story of my beautiful and equally witty friend, Holly Ann Stars as she battles breast cancer with unmatched strength and faith. Talk about an inspiration!
We hope that you find a cozy spot and cool breeze to enjoy this issue of Lola Magazine. It is one of our greatest blessings to bring you these stories of incredible Louisiana Ladies. Whatever team that you are pulling this football season, we wish you big victories and good times!
And for the record, GO DAWGS!!!
Cheers!
