King Cake for Mardi Gras

nikita2471 — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 20:13:56 +0000

My sister decided to make King Cake for Mardi Gras this year! She lived in New Orleans for 3 years but had to move out when her apartment got destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. She & her husband still miss living in New Orleans but they have kids now and want to raise them closer to home.

This King Cake is just her own version. It doesn’t have the baby or coins in it!

Funny, all that time I visited them while they lived in New Orleans, I never did go during Mardi Gras! One of these days, I will definitely go! I love that city!

Lookbook for kids?

LOL! I’m sure my sister would sign up her kids if it is possible for them to have their own Lookbooks (or is it?)!

Nora wore this to church one Sunday when she went with our Mom. Nora be WORKING this outfit in the pic!

Not to be outdone, Loewyn was already wearing “boots with the fur” at 7 months! She can rock those jeans too!

Mommy may lounge around in her PJs all day at home but Loewy likes to channel the 80s with her brightly colored skirt/socks and legwarmers! She just looks at her mom’s and my yearbooks for fashion inspiration! LMAO!

Coughing

Almost the entire month of January, I got hit with the annual cold/sinus infection bug that seemed to hit everyone when the weather started going wacky (from cold to warm and vice versa). It is WRONG for the weather to warm up to 70 degrees (w/rain) in the middle of January here! WTF! IT’S WINTER; STAY COLD GODDAMIT! Everytime I thought I was slightly starting to get better, the damn weather would flip and I’d be hacking away my lung and not being able to breathe out of my nose.

I pretty much didn’t have much of a voice the entire month. At some points, I just had to whisper to talk. My doctor had to prescribe me a nasal spray (aside from an antibiotic) and I was also taking Tussinex at night. Sucks waking up in a fit of coughing!

As of right now, the cold is pretty much gone but the coughing is still around (just not as bad). The only thing that worries me is when I cough, I’m coughing up phlegm. Ugh. Yes, I will go see the damn doctor again!
