You will find our family and community to be full of Southern charm and country fun. The house has a casual feel and host family gatherings that are full of unique local foods like: gumbo, crawfish, bar-b-que, jambalaya, hamburgers, and sweet tea. We welcome you to join our friends an family in colorful family stories and general conversations on the porch swing or around the camp fire. Our property includes a vegetable garden and the following animals: horses (trained for western speed events and trails,) two small dogs (mini Australian Shepherd & Corgi/ Jack Russell), a cat ( friendly barn cat.) We live in an old family home with an acre of land. Down our street lives many of our extended family, We feel blessed to have them in our daily lives and hope you do also.

We are a family of 10+ but only three people live in our home. Trent is the man of the house and loves to relax outside with an evening beer and some good music. He works for our city and is also a lead singer and guitar player in a Southern Rock/ Country band. He plays his music at local night clubs and festivals. He also loves to hunt, fish and ride his ATV or trucks. Our youngest child is an athletic All-American girl who is a true extrovert. She is studied mass communication and and playing soccer at a college 12+ hours away. My name Deanna I love nature, hikes, camping, and exploring cities and towns. I once dreamed of being in the Peace Core or adopting orphans but neither happened. I have found happiness in doing volunteer work locally and in Mexico, gardening, and learning new skills. I currently work in family ministry and care for my parents.

Outside our home lives our two grown children with spouses, and six grandchildren. We have a few extra children who started as exchange students and and now are family.

June 2025 was our fourth anniversary of hosting workaway travelers. We have hosted 25+ guest so far. All of which blessed our home.

Our workaway home is in a suburban community 45min from New Orleans and 30min from Baton Rouge the home is quite during the day which allows for online studies and independent exploration by Uber (not always dependable) or your personal transportation. The evenings are spent enjoying life with our friends, family, or animals along with going house chores. Most weeks include small social gathering or cultural events. We are a busy bunch so get ready to live a new life.

I am a new cancer survivor. Life is a new adventure. I had a Double mastectomy December 5, 2023 and finished chemo April 2024.
This experience has strengthened my desire to finish home projects and become more minimalistic in my habits.

We ask visitors contribute to our family 5 hr a day or 25 hours a week. Your work should be a balance of tasks and more can be done on one day to have more time off on others for example:

2 hours of home cleaning/ cooking
2 hours of farm/ garden tasks
1 hour of engagement or church/ community involvement

Example of tasks: share life experiences/ culture/ companionship, cook or help prepare dinner, weed home/ community vegetable garden or flower beds, exercise / ride horses, read to preschool children, talk / eat with grandparents, bath dogs, sweep house/barn, feed homeless, and helping in a community food bank. It is important that you feel as family and work both as a team and independently to make life better for all members of the home. Your talents and life goals can be discussed before arrival and we can work together to create activity plan for your trip. We ask that you contribute 5 hours a day to the family or community and believe the more you do the more rewarding the experience will be.

DeAnna and I had chemistry from the get-go. Like a kind and understanding mom, she will effortlessly make you feel at home the moment you two begin sharing lives together. She also has a gift for charming everyone she meets, so it's not uncommon to see her chatting with strangers whenever you two go out. Trent and most folks on his side of the … read more family love doing country activities, especially hunting, riding ATVs or four-wheelers, boating on the swamp, going to camp, and hanging out in the barn, so if you enjoy outdoor activities, he's your guy. Both he and DeAnna are well-connected in the community, so you'll have many opportunities to meet a variety of other community members throughout your stay.

Besides meeting more locals than I can count, I also visited a wide selection of places. Right after I hopped off the plane, DeAnna offered to take me on a tour of New Orleans, specifically Jackson Square and the French Quarter. Over the course of the next four weeks, she and other members of the family took me to their camp, a Cabelas/Bass Pro Shop, the Cajun Village, one of Trent's gigs, a swamp, two Mardi Gras parades, a livestock show, a Methodist youth retreat (DeAnna currently works as a Youth Director for her church), waffle house, and a sugar cane plantation.

When her profile says they are a "busy bunch" and to "get ready to live a new life", she means it. As someone who comes from a small family, one of the biggest changes I had to acclimate to was living in the same neighborhood as dozens of other family members. Altogether she and Trent have 5 grandkids (three toddlers, and two babies, as of 2023), and sometimes (usually Thursdays) they're in the house all at once. Babysitting and playing with them one or two days a week was definitely a new challenge for someone who hadn't been around kids for the last 4 years; however, by the end of my trip, I felt more confident working with kids than I'd ever felt before. I hope to return again later this year to see how much they've grown. If you like children, boy, is this the place for you!

On a day-to-day basis, my chores consisted of helping DeAnna organize items for the garage sale, gardening, cleaning the house, bathing the dogs once a week, and spending time with her elderly parents, Mimi and Poppy. In the short month that our lives overlapped, we ate breakfast and dinner together a few times each week, watched t.v. together, and reminisced about our lives. Overall, the work was pleasant and the schedule was flexible.

My last word of advice to anyone who's interested in staying with this family is to keep an open mind and be open to new experiences. As someone who spent most of her life on the West Coast, this corner of the country often felt like another world. It is truly unlike anywhere else in the U.S., but that's what makes it so worth traveling.
