Happy Birthday
T here is one constant thing in everyone’s lives: their birthdays. They roll around each year like clock work, whether you choose to celebrate or not. Well, except Leap Year babies. I am curious how they celebrate since the actual day only comes around every four years. If any Leap Year babies read this, please enlighten me, so I am in the know going forward. I remember growing up and feeling so ready to become an adult and make my own rules. I was always ready for my birthday every year. However, now that I am an adult, I try to skip it, but my children won’t allow me that pleasure. We have a pool party each summer to celebrate me getting another year older, or this year’s theme “a tini bit older.” Don’t get me wrong, I love party planning. I always thought that would be a career path for me because it all comes so naturally. Picking themes is my favorite part of planning parties.
Every July, we celebrate the magazine’s birthday, so it is only fitting that we turned this issue into our big birthday issue. We’ve got our extensive birthday listing that includes all of the local businesses you will need to help plan the best party for yourself, your littles, or friends. We even gathered a few themes to help you get started. Lastly, I want to say Happy Birthday to Baton Rouge Parents Magazine , as they make 34 this month! Also, let’s not forget to celebrate our Nation’s Independence Day. We cannot forget the men and women who help us enjoy our independence and freedom. Without all of the armed services, we would not be where we are today. Happy July,
Publisher

He is very excited and confident that he will NOT ruin the party with his badger antics. But will he really be on his best behavior...? You’ll have to read this hilarious tale to find out! Unlike Proper Bader, when Poppy the puffer fish is invited to a birthday party in Jonathan Fenske’s Do I Have to Go to the Party ? She is nervous about all the things that could go wrong. It’s a good thing that she faces her fears, though, because at the party, it’s Poppy who ends up saving the day.

SAUL’S LIGHT BY MADISON VOORHIES
In 2015, Kimberly and Aaron Novod experienced the tragic loss of their son, Saul, who passed away at 20 days old in a New Orleans Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). “I will always remember seeing him for the very first time,” says Kimberly. “The wonder of him. His beautiful face. His tiny hands. His nose that looked just like mine. We named him Saul which means ‘prayed for.’” Today, Saul’s Light shines brightly, offering support and solace to families navigating the tumultuous journey of having a baby in the NICU or experiencing the heartbreaking loss of an infant. “Our mission is to meet families on their unique social-emotional journeys,” explains Sophia Rosenblatt, the Director of Programs and Partnerships. “We don’t want any family to ever feel alone. We want families to feel supported while they’re visiting their baby in the NICU and to know they have someone to talk to.” In short, Saul’s Light aims to eliminate barriers that prevent parents from being bedside with their babies, offering financial assistance for transportation, housing, and emergency expenses, alongside emotional support and counseling. Comprehensive Support The organization’s programs are thoughtfully designed to address the multifaceted needs of NICU and grieving families. The NICU support branch provides critical financial aid to cover non-medical expenses, from car seats to emergency bills. Additionally, Saul’s Light offers peer mentorship, pairing families with trained volunteers who share similar experiences, ensuring a personalized and empathetic support system. Recognizing the language barriers many families face, Saul’s Light has a dedicated
Spanish language program, complete with counseling sessions and support groups facilitated by a bilingual social worker. This inclusivity ensures that no family is left without the resources they need due to language differences. “We know there isn’t one catch-all solution for all families. We know that everybody is different, and their needs are different,” Rosenblatt shares. “We want to try our best to be able to really see where the families are coming from and meet those needs.” For those bereaved families, Saul’s Light provides tools to help parents honor their baby’s memory and navigate their grief. This includes CuddleCots, which allow families to spend more time with their deceased infants, and angel gowns, crafted from donated wedding dresses for infant burials. The organization also connects families to mental health services, spirituality and wellness classes, and community events, fostering an environment of healing and support. Innovative Programming One of the standout initiatives of Saul’s Light is its emphasis on early literacy and parent-child bonding through its Little Libraries program. It has established these libraries in NICUs around New Orleans while accepting quarterly donations of new, unused books. Families can borrow books during their stay, or bring them home to start building their own collection. Community engagement is also a cornerstone of Saul’s Light operations. Donations are crucial, but they also value the contributions of volunteers, whether it’s packing care packages or knitting hats for NICU babies. Saul’s Light encourages community members to
get involved through various drives and volunteer opportunities. Looking Ahead Saul’s Light is hosting its annual NICU Health and Equity Summit at Children’s Hospital on September 19, 2024, bringing together community organizations, health providers, and families to address NICU-related issues. They’re also working on establishing a sanctuary for families with babies in the NICU, set to launch next year. Their advocacy work will continue to focus on emergency preparedness for NICU families, and so far they’ve achieved legislative success with the Stillbirth Tax Credit and other bills ensuring access to donor milk for NICU babies. A Call to Action Saul’s Light invites the New Orleans community to join their mission. Whether through financial donations, volunteer work, or simply spreading awareness, every bit of support helps illuminate the path for families facing one of the most challenging times in their lives. As Rosenblatt poignantly states, “It’s so important for community members to know that we’re taking care of one another,” because no family should ever feel alone in their NICU journey.” “This foundation is Saul’s legacy,” says Kimberly Novod. “We have only been able to move forward because of the amazing support we received during and after Saul’s life from our families, friends, and community.” For more information, visit saulslight. org, and follow them on social media (@ sauls_light) to learn how to get involved. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of these families, one small act of kindness at a time.

DR. KATHARINE SAUSSY
BY MADISON VOORHIES PHOTO BY BROOKE BOYD
WHAT DOES A NORMAL DAY LOOK LIKE FOR YOU? KATHARINE: We’re only four weeks in, so I wouldn’t say we have quite a schedule yet, but that’s what we’re working on over the next couple weeks. We’re trying to get into some resemblance of what a routine looks like, and it remains very flexible because we’re feeding every two to three hours. We wake up, I’ll feed him, and then try to pump first thing in the morning. We’re trying to work on supply and getting that supply for when I go back to work, which, for the working mom, is a lot. That is a little daunting, but we’re getting there. We do our best to get dressed, do our skincare routine, put on our sunscreen, and brush our teeth in the morning. Usually, we’ll have appointments, get lunch with a friend, or go out for a walk— something to get out of the house. I think from a physician perspective and now as a mom, it’s important to keep some resemblance of what brings you joy because the whole postpartum period has been a fun journey, but also a very interesting and hard journey. Mental health-wise, I need to get out of the house every day at least once. I’d like to interact with another human being besides this human. Any time for yourself, I feel like that’s a big plug: finding at least an hour a day for Husband: Jed Antoun Child: Parker, 4 weeks Occupation: Dermatologist at Sanova Dermatology Hobbies: Hanging out with her dogs, reading, family walks, trying new restaurants, Mahjong, and traveling Born and raised in New Orleans, Dr. Katharine Saussy embodies the heart and soul of the Crescent City. Though she ventured out for college, medical school, and residency, something always pulled her back to her hometown. Now a dedicated dermatologist, Katharine and her husband Jed have settled in New Orleans to start their family, recently welcoming their four-week-old son, Parker. Katharine is passionate about her work, her patients, and the unique challenges of the community she serves. Despite her love for travel, she can’t imagine living anywhere else, a feeling many New Orleanians know all too well.
KATHARINE: I always knew I wanted to do something in healthcare, or I really wanted to be in the CIA. I’m serious! I went to college, and I was going to be some sort of political science major. Then, I actually had a pretty heartbreaking encounter when I was in the park one day and there was a medical emergency there. But I was like, you know what? Under pressure, in chaos, and in a storm, I actually feel very calm— which would still be good in the CIA—but I decided to go into healthcare instead. I’ve found that I’m an introverted personality in how I reboot, but I am an extroverted personality in my [ability] to communicate with people and feel calm in social and chaotic situations. I knew that in healthcare, as a dermatologist, you’re always interacting with people, and you’re forming relationships that can last literally a lifetime. I hope that I’m still practicing when I’m in my 70s and 80s. I just love that [I’m] interacting with people during the day. WHAT ARE SOME JOYS & CHALLENGES OF BEING A MOM? KATHARINE: I’m breastfeeding, so, whether you’re formula feeding or breastfeeding, there’s probably similar challenges in the sense of making sure you’re providing enough. With formula, you know how many ounces they’re getting for the next number of hours. But when you’re breastfeeding, you don’t really know. One of the challenges for me is knowing that I’m giving him enough and that he’s growing and gaining enough weight. That’s been one of my biggest challenges so far outside Find your groove, and give yourself grace. You’ve got to give yourself the time to figure it out, room to fall and not succeed, and then rebuild. That’s a big thing in parenthood I learned very early on. “ ”

of postpartum recovery. And then obviously the sleep: I feel I’ve actually done really well, and he’s a pretty good sleeper. It’s amazing what your body can do after you have the baby… how many hours you can go without consistent sleep. I mean, I was shocked. You’re just running on adrenaline. It’s actually kind of cool to just see what your body can do. Is it great for you? Probably not. But it’s fun to see that, because I didn’t believe it until I experienced it. There are also endless amounts of joys. You look at them, and you feel joy. Sometimes there are tears, but as far as joys go, I’m health- literate and educated, and I still look at him like it is such a miracle that this thing was created! WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU HOPE TO TEACH YOUR CHILD? KATHARINE: A couple things come to mind, but gratitude is one of them. When you are internally and externally grateful, and you share that with other people, it’s every aspect of your life. From someone holding the door for you or someone picking up your trash or someone coming to clean your house, to having a patient that gives you positive feedback. We can’t do anything in life without other people. Everything we do in life has other people involved, and it’s so important to always be mindful of that and to communicate that with other people. More is not always better. I want him to understand that you need very few things in life. You don’t need much, and you can still be just as happy and just as successful. I’ve really tried to just be content and present with where we are, so I’ve been very grateful for that as well. WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE THINGS TO DO AS A FAMILY? KATHARINE: My husband and I love to go try new restaurants. We bring [Parker] along the way. We’re only four weeks in, so I’m sure this will become more difficult as time goes on, but I’m figuring this out as we go. Bringing him and exposing him to different environments is a big thing for me. We kind of did that with our dogs too; anywhere we could bring them, we would bring them. I love my dogs; they’re definitely the loves of my life along with Parker now. So I would say: exposing him from a very early age, in a safe way, to different environments so he can start to get used to it. Does he have any idea at this point in time where he is? Absolutely not. But, we want him to be
the kid that we can go to dinner with and he knows how to sit in a high-chair and how to eat dinner with us as a family. Also traveling: we’ve now gone on a couple different weekend getaways nearby, so we’re getting him integrated into our life as much as possible, but also making a routine that works for him, keeping him safe and growing. DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE FOR OTHER NEW PARENTS? KATHARINE: Prepare for what you can prepare for, so that you have more room for the unexpected, the flexibility, and the winging it. Prepare for (if you have the resources) help. Prepare for postpartum. Talk to people, friends, and family that you’re comfortable with; talk with your provider about what to expect postpartum and how you can be prepared for that. If you have a spouse, try to have conversations before the baby arrives about how they can be helpful to you. Giving yourself grace is huge, huge, huge. If you’re someone that needs to be around other people, once a day, plan something to get out of the house. Those are things I try to do every day that have truly been, mentally, really really helpful. WHAT IS SOMETHING YOU’RE LOOKING FORWARD TO? KATHARINE: I’m actually looking forward to going back to work. It’s going to be hard, so I’m definitely nervous about the transition. I know it’s going to be a new routine and trying to find a new work-life balance. But I truly love what I do, and I love who I work with, which I think is really important. I miss them, I miss my staff, I miss the other providers that I work with and having that social interaction with my patients and with my office. As far as being a mom, I’m just looking forward to watching him grow into this human, just looking at all those little steps, hopefully influencing him to be a good human as he grows up. Quick Q’s My guilty pleasure is……….Creole Creamery ice cream (but I don’t feel guilty about it) or sushi. My favorite date night is………. Trying new restaurants. My favorite girls night out is…………. Also trying new restaurants… I’m a happy hour/early dinner kind of gal. Something that makes me laugh is..... Memes.

Birthdays That Won’t Break the Bank BY VICTORIA MIKOTA
C andles: Check
Have a Cookout What better way to celebrate your special kiddo than with lots of homemade food and a cookout or BBQ in the backyard? You can make an entire day of celebrating with fun lawn games, pool time, hotdogs and hamburgers, and fun in the sun. At the end of the day, turn up the heat and make s’mores around a fire pit. Throw a Party at the Park Community parks are a great place to host large gatherings, like birthday parties! Many of the community parks in
extravagant birthday dress. It’s time to really rethink birthdays. Here’s how you can throw a memorable birthday party on a budget. Thank us later. Host a Sleepover Probably one of the most exciting events in a young child’s life is the opportunity to have a group of friends stay the night. If you want to make your kid’s eyes light up, buy the group a pizza, give them free rein in the living room, and sit back as your child makes their favorite birthday memories.
Birthday Party Invites: Check Most Fun Day of Your Child’s Life: Check?
16 JULY 2024 | NOLAFAMILY.COM c’mon, you’re not a Kardashian! You can’t just negate all of your important payments to put a down payment on balloons, a party clown, or even an If your kiddo’s birthday is coming up, you may feel a bit of excitement and a tinge of sadness. Your sweet baby is reaching another yearly milestone and going into a whole new chapter of their life, and it’s your job to make sure this celebration is remembered for years to come. But,
Baton Rouge have splash pads, tennis courts, disc golf, and other fun outdoor activities for kiddos and the whole family to enjoy. Host a Backyard Movie Night A backyard movie night is the perfect way to bring together friends and family and do an activity everyone will enjoy. For this night, we recommend a projector so that everyone can see the big screen! For added fun, you can make a snack table inside where kids can choose from candy, chips, and other sweet or salty snacks. To keep the bugs away, we recommend bug repellent tiki torches! Go on a Scavenger Hunt Scavenger hunts are a fun way to engage and entertain your child’s guests without breaking the bank on entertainment options. If you want to add a fun twist to the scavenger hunt, add unique prizes throughout the hunt! Other Cost-Saving Methods: Skip the Post Office To cut costs at the post office, we recommend making digital birthday party invitations through Canva or another design platform. This way,
instead of mailing cards, you can just send them via email or text! Order Supplies Online Party stores often have ludicrous markups on items you can buy in bulk online. Instead of wasting money on cheap items, consider buying party supplies in bulk from stores like Amazon, Walmart, or even Sam’s Club. Bonus points if you can reuse the items for future events. Upcycle Old Party Favors Birthday parties often have unique themes that require extensive planning and thorough brainstorming. However, most items like hats, streamers, decorations, and noisemakers can all be reused. Consider taking careful care of your party favors at this year’s party, so you can reuse them again for years to come. Bake Your Own Cake We’re not saying you have to be Betty Crocker over here, but baking your child’s cake would save a significant amount of money–especially if they have specific decoration requests in mind. If baking from scratch isn’t your thing, buy a box cake! If you want to spruce up a
box cake, substitute buttermilk for water for a firmer, less-sweet cake. Then, you can make your own buttercream. Et voilà! Use Crafts as Party Favors If you want to save money on party favors, opt for a personalized craft that guests can take home with them. You can search for specific crafts that match your child’s theme, or come up with your own ideas. Embrace Free Activities Save money on entertainment and entertain your kiddo’s guests with free activities. Here are a few easy go-to ideas: • Keep-Up-the-Balloon • Musical Chairs
• Hot Potato • Charades • Red Rover • Three-Legged Race • “Simon says”
While you may not be a Kardashian, your child definitely views you as a superhero of sorts and will more than likely appreciate any effort you put into making their birthday a special one. Remember, it’s the thought that counts!

Rolling to Success: Inside the World of Junior Derby BY AMANDA MILLER
W ith an emphasis on inclusivity, leadership, and team building, Junior Roller Derby provides young skaters with an opportunity to come together–regardless of skill level–and compete in a game that builds confidence and strengthens empowerment. Junior Roller Derby is a full-contact sport that is played on roller skates. While it may seem intense, there are plenty of safety rules to keep everyone safe. Played on an oval track, two teams– consisting of up to five skaters–skate counterclockwise in short games called “jams.” The goal is to score more points than the other team by lapping opposing players. Jams are divided into two, 30-minute halves, and the team with the most points at the end of the game wins. Creating an inclusive, community-like atmosphere is important to the Coach and League President of Crescent City Crush- ers’ Junior Derby Team. To do this, they attend social events together and encourage each skater to work with someone new whenever they have group work. Amanda Moulton, League President, shares, “With these kids, whenever they go into something Derby-related with their team, they don’t have to be taught how to treat each other. They automatically know that this is a place where we don’t stand for certain things, and we include everybody.” This much-needed experience will continue to thrive, especially with these kiddos taking the reins in the future. Coach Laura Blu explains, “These kids are so awesome. They’re going to take it by the reins and make it more amazing than we could ever imagine it being.”
To learn even more about the game and what it means to them, we heard from a few of the skaters of the Junior Derby team. Evangelina M. Age: 16 Derby Name: Bomber How did you first become interested in roller derby? I tried just about every sport there was, and didn’t like any of them, until one of mom’s friends joined the adult team, and then she told my mom about the Junior League that was starting up. My mom put me in as a last attempt to try to get me to be active, and I ended up falling in love with the sport and skating. What has been your favorite part? I really love it right after a game. At the end, you’re just so emotional, because you just played a tough game with your team, and it’s really nice to be with everyone afterward. How would you describe the team? We accept so many dif- ferent ages. Everyone can find a friend. You know, at the end of the day, we are one team, and we do work really well together. I love how everyone can really find their person and their people, even with how big the team is. What does a practice look like? Practices really depend on what coaches are there. We have an amazing group of coaches who all come and give their time to the team for free, but it re- ally depends on what group of coaches you get, and everyone has something completely different and amazing to teach us. How do you prepare for a game? I really love when we’re gearing up and we’re all putting on makeup because games are an amazing time to do the weirdest makeup that you can do and not have anyone judge you. How has being part of Junior Derby influenced other areas of your life? Derby really taught me that I can talk to peo-
28 JULY 2024 | NOLAFAMILY.COM
How did you first become interested in Junior Derby? I’ve been watching my mom play derby since I was about four or five years old. I was hesitant to join the team at first, but once I got the hang of it and had our first scrimmage. I was hooked. What has been your favorite part? My favorite part is defi - nitely before and after games, being with my team, because everyone’s energy is just so high, and then, of course, playing the game with the same energy and like-minded people. How would you describe the team? Derby is a sport where kids who maybe don’t fit in with other groups or can’t find somewhere else that they can just be themselves, can come to, and that creates a strong bond. Everyone who doesn’t have another place, they have a place now. What is practice like? Practices can be tough, especially when it gets this hot out, and we’re working on endurance, but we really do give it our all, and it really does make us better. I don’t really see it as hard work. It’s just like I’m with my friends, we’re skating, and we’re putting in the work so we can be better. How do you prepare for a game? One of our pregame rituals is right before we get our gear checked and we do introduc- tions, we all huddle in a circle, and at the top of our lungs, we scream “You are My Sunshine.” How has being part of Junior Derby influenced other areas of your life? I was shy and sensitive, I didn’t talk to anyone. In the past two or three seasons, I feel like I’ve really come into myself and found who I am and realized that, yes, I’m physical- ly strong, but I can also be just as strong as a person and find friends and find my own identity.
ple and make friends. I grew up an only child, and I think I’ve missed out on a lot of the making friends skills, especially with COVID. Derby is an amazing place to really work on my people skills and learn how to make connections.
Luna B. Age: 14 Derby Name: Lunatic
How did you first become interested in Junior Derby? I’ve been skating since I was kid, and when I saw the sign-up sheets at the skating rink, I figured this would be really fun to do, so I convinced my mom to sign both of us (Lily) up. What has been your favorite part? I enjoy just hanging out with my peers and getting to play a sport with them. What is practice like? First, we do our warm-ups, and then we get into either learning about the sport itself or doing some mock jams, so we can remember how to play the game and learn new techniques for playing. How do you prepare for a game? Sometimes on the car ride there, you might listen to some music or just hang out before the game. We talk to each other, sing a little bit, you know, just get all the nerves out. How has being part of Junior Derby influenced other areas of your life? I finally found a place to expel my energy instead of on my poor parents, I wasn’t exactly the most well-behaved child, and to be in a place where you can hang out with a group of friends and exercise, workout, get away from life, it was all really nice, and it really helped me come out of my shell.
