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…

5 years in…
I made the decision 5 years ago to move to New Orleans. Around this time in 2013, I was weighing two job offers: 1 great one in Atlanta that would’ve kept me in the media a bit but also not in a newsroom and 1 great one here in New Orleans that took me completely…

Cancer sucks
Not much more to say than that. But it finally claimed the life of my Aunt, Wanda Siverd. She was a bright light throughout my life, always willing to listen, lend an ear and lend a hand. She loved so many people and was always around for any of her friends and family. She was…

Those amazing things we get to do
Every now and then, Chuck and I get an invite to some special event and when we arrive, we often ask ourselves “how the heck did we get invited to this”. That happened this Monday when we were invited to a Krug Champagne tasting. Not sure what to expect, we made our way to Emeril’s…
