  • Tra-la, tra-lee!

    Today is my birthday lucky me! OK, technically it was yesterday but I was far too busy celebrating to blog. Sorry, it’s the truth. Celebrations began on Friday night, with my first trip to the Quarter as a New Orleanian. We dined at Crescent City Brewhouse, which was a great mix of New Orleans cuisine…

  • Bridesmaid Day with AJ

    AJ is getting married (to Ben–three cheers for high school romance. I have the high school dance pics to prove it!) in September and since Christmas was the only time that we would all be together before the wedding, we spent the day selecting bridesmaid dressed in Concord. I was the *lucky* winner who modeled…
