Taking on New Adventures

Wedding planning has not been as stressful for me as I anticipated. However, it’s not all smooth sailing either. So when Chuck and I get to do a random night out, I take full advantage.  Last night, we went to the Pelicans watch party at Fulton Ally. All season, I’ve wanted to get a photo…

A few weeks ago, we got our photos taken. To say it was fun is a huge understatement. We typically rely on the selfies or a friend snapping a pic with the big camera, which inevitably turns out slightly blurry. So to be able to get dressed up and have a professional take some photos…

It’s happened.  I’m now in the midst of full-on wedding planning. And it’s finally  a tad bit fun. So here’s the rundown of what’s been going on: –I went to my 3rd dress shop on Saturday and to my surprise, my mom was there. I tried on 3 dresses and the 3rd was in the…

So many words to describe my first day wedding dress shopping. So here goes: Stressful: Going in with barely an idea of what dresses fit best he me stressing a tad. I’m not small but not a plus size either. So I was worried about fit and if I could find a flattering dress that…

What a season. Ups and downs, times I thought Bama wouldn’t win, times I thought it’d be close and everything in between.  The 2015 football season as a Bama fan was awesome.  A special shout out to The Rusty Nail. If you’re in NOLA during the fall, this is the place to be to watch…

I have a feeling this is going to be the best year yet. Let the wedding planning commence!   

Apparently I hit a few nerves with my post. And I’m ok with that but feel there is some clarity on what I wrote that’s needed. So here goes: –I wasn’t directing that post at any one news organization. It’s about the business as a whole. News coverage has gone downhill, but that discussion is…

I like to keep this blog focused on the fun I have as a relatively new resident of NOLA.  However, today is a different story. As a former TV news producer, I understand the need to get the story, no matter what means. But in my opinion, the media went beyond what’s news today. And…

The first few days of being 41 are a far cry from the massive weekend of partying I did to usher in 40. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. A great dinner with my man on my birthday, an epic beat down of LSU by my Crimson Tide and a chill Sunday walking…
