Happy Mardi Gras, friends!
Sending you all kinds of happy wishes and big smiles today- especially to all my loves down in New Orleans! Over the past week friends gathered on the parade route, the floats rolled, parties were had, and beads were caught. Unfortunately, a weekend full of classes stood in my way of the Mardi Gras celebration this year, but I'm already planning and can't wait to share in the party next year with some of my favorite ladies!
Now if I could just figure out what I'm giving up for Lent starting tomorrow. . .
Laissez les Bon Temps Rouler, sweets!
