Strolling with the Krewe
Spring in NOLA is always a good time. It doesn’t matter the day, there is something going on. And this past week provided ample opportunity to get out and get involved. As part of the Krewe of Cork, we have the opportunity to parade down Royal Street during the Royal Street Stroll. The stroll is…

A Piggy Good Time
Thanks to my time at Dinner Lab, I was introduced to the amazing event, Hogs for the Cause. This event is a BBQ cooking contest that’s more on fun(draising) for families of pediatric brain cancer patients. The teams range from the home-chefs who love to grill and smoke to the professional, big-name chefs in the…

Another Mardi Gras in the books
I don’t know what it is, but everything about Mardi Gras makes me happy. Well, almost everything. The traffic does not. But luckily since we live so close to the parade route, it’s rare that I have to get out and face the traffic during peak times. This year’s Mardi Gras season flew by. From…

A Ball of a Time
It’s been a couple of weeks since the Nyx Myx ball and I am still glowing from how much fun we had! It’s my 4th ball and this one was the best, by far. The black and white theme, announced last summer, was a little difficult as I had bought a dress last Spring that…

2 years, and new traditions
I can’t believe it’s been two years since our wedding. It really was the most amazing night and we had a blast with all of our friends and family. The best part is looking at the photos and seeing how much fun everyone was having. Chuck and I were feeling the effects of partying after…

Time For a New Routine
New year, new me. How many times has that phrase been uttered? For me, it feels like every year. And every year, I really do mean it. However, it’s been hard to really keep it up. I don’t necessarily want to be a newer version of myself. It’s just that I want to do things…

Reflections of 2018
It’s been quite the year. So many ups and downs made 2018 what it is. And while the ups were really good, the downs were awful and I’m ready to take on 2019 with gusto and hopefully have a much better year. Starting a new job is scary but I managed to change careers (again!)…

A Fun and Lively Christmas
Christmas at my parent’s house always brings some surprises, a lot of food, a lot of gifts and a lot of laughs. The older my nephews get, the more fun we have. They appreciate the gifts they get and always get surprised by a few things they receive. Although there was a bit of sadness…

Last minute travel is kind of fun
We picked up a new client a month or so ago, and have been planning one of their meetings for mid-December. My colleagues have been working on it more than I have so after we got back from NAMD, we did a meeting to go over everything and plan out the communications. Well, imagine their…

Time to relax
The past month has been absolutely insane. All of the last minute adjustments for a conference take a toll on the sleep and personal time, not to mention cause longer office hours. However, it’s over. NAMD just concluded and we pulled it off. Things didn’t go as smoothly as we liked, but that is kind…
