Girls’ night out
A good girls’ night out usually involves wine, cheese and laughter. Add in some paint and pottery, and you have a great evening with some good pals. I’m so thankful these ladies are my friends as well as my neighbors. I think we are going to have some fun this summer!

Hogging it out
One of the best things New Orleans has to offer is the plethora of festivals and outdoor events. One such event is “Hogs for the Cause”. The annual barbecue cookoff raises money for families of pediatric brain cancer patients. It’s a great cause and a super fun weekend. This year, I joined the only all…

Broadway in NOLA
8 years in New York gave me the opportunity to see quite a few Broadway shows. However one I never got a chance to see was Once. So when the opportunity arose last minute to go to the Saenger to check it out, I took it. A preshow dinner at Domenica with Chuck and our…

Journey. That is all.
Sunday night concerts usually lead to Monday morning exhaustion. And while that is 100% the case, my Monday involves a smile on my for thanks to the Journey concert. The guys put on a spectacular show and sounded phenomenal. Had I still been in NYC, I’m sure I wouldn’t have been able to go. Another…

Mardi Gras success.
What a blast. Mardi Gras 2015 was great and I was able to experience so much goodness that the city puts out during the season. A little rain on Monday night didn’t stop us at all. Now it’s time to bring on spring and the warmer weather!

The day the streak ended
I’ve been in attendance for some huge sporting events. And on Monday, the game between the Pelicans and the Atlanta Hawks had that “big game” feel. The Hawks were riding a 19 game win streak and playing some excellent basketball. Pelicans star, Anthony Davis, had sat out the previous game with a groin strain. You…

King Cake
There’s never a shortage of King Cakes in the office during the season but today’s offering is definitely one of the most interesting. Peanut butter King Cake from Ye Olde College Bakery. It’s got our office talking and tastes better than it smells, which is high acclaim.

I think I’m a NBA fan
Thanks to Chuck owning a season ticket package with his friends, I’ve been able to hit quite a few Pelicans games. And last night, I bought a shirt and hat. Anyone who knows me knows I’m a college sports enthusiast and while I enjoy pro games, never really got as into it. Thanks to the…

Volunteerism
I’ve never been one to publicly volunteer. I like donating money, talking up the non-profits I love and using my skills and contacts to help produce CNN Heroes. But I spent Monday, MLK Day, digging up a field to help a local school plant their own vegetables. This helps the students learn more about what…
