Weekend Plans

Tomorrow I will be heading down to New Orleans for the Saints preseason game against the Titans! I am so excited that it is almost NFL football season again. I am a huge Saints fan and even though my favorite player went to a different team this year I will still wear his jersey to the games! I cannot wait to have a weekend away in New Orleans with Jay and some good friends! I will be back Sunday night and am planning to have lots of pictures for y'all to see from my weekend. WHO DAT!! Happy Thursday!

Weekend Favorites

- Going to Mistletoe Marketplace with my mother and grandmother Friday night to do a little shopping for Christmas gifts -

 

- Eating supper at Local 463 with Jay, his sister, and his dad to celebrate his dad's birthday! Jay and I both got the Redfish463 which was amazing, I would recommend it to anyone planning to go. Also, we had to get dessert to celebrate his birthday so I picked the Pound cake that was topped with lemon curd, whipped cream, and fresh strawberries! But honestly everything on the menu is to dead for here! -

 

- Sunday my mom and I stopped by Callaway's Home and Garden for their Christmas Open House to see all their wonderfully decorated Christmas trees. I have decided I am going to start decorating for Christmas early this year, I mean why not? -

 

- Lastly, the weekend ended with a great 49-17 win for the New Orleans Saints against the Dallas Cowboys. WHO DAT!! -

Weekly Favorites

- Saints winning and now being 4-0! WHO DAT BABY!! -

- October finally starting so I can buy pumpkins, mums, and decorate for Halloween. -

 

- Getting all the ingredients to make some Spiced Pumpkin Mini Bundt cakes with a Maple Cream Cheese Icing to bring to Jay's Aunt's tailgate Saturday. I cannot wait to make these tomorrow! Recipe on here Monday! -

 

- Today is Jay and I's 3 year anniversary!! It is also Bulldog Bash which means live bands right outside his apartment complex. I have to say it is a good way to celebrate being together for 3 years. We will also be exchanging small gifts since we will be going to Memphis later this month to really celebrate our anniversary! -

 

 

- I hope you have a wonderful weekend! See you Monday! -

New Orleans Recap

- Saints Pre-season against the Kansas City Chiefs Friday night was wonderful. We didn't play that great but we were also using or second and third string. I cannot wait until the first game of this season against our rivals the Atlanta Falcons in the Superdome -

 - Obsessed with this man's hat! Superbowl ring baby!- 

- Saturday consisted of a little shopping at the Shops at Canal Place, NOLA Motorsports Park, the "Red Dress Run", and Café Du Monde -

 - Gorgeous dress from my favorite designer BCBG Max Azria. Unfortunately, it was a little out of my budget for the weekend (sorry for the dressing room selfie but I had too) -

 - Lululemon quote outside their store in Canal Place -

 - Wine and a movie sounds amazing to me. The updated theatre in Canal Place will allow you to do just that -

 - NOLA Motorsports Park where the Go-Karts go up to 50mph. Of course this was Jay's idea but it was actually very fun -

 - "Red Dress Run" this is a 2 mile run but it is really more a pub/bar crawl. Jay and I did not make it in time to register but we still dressed up and enjoyed walking around seeing everyone else in their "Red Dress Run" attire -

 - Café Du Monde Beignets for dessert -

- Sunday we went to Sucre, brunch on Magazine Street, and toured the Garden District before we headed home -

 

 - Sucre for French Macaroons and a Chocolate Éclair both of which were to die for. I would recommend visiting here to anyone making a trip to New Orleans -

 - Brunch with Mimosas and Bloody Mary's don't mind if I do at Ignatius Eatery on Magazine Street -
