Southern Mama of Two

Linking up with Biana  to share my weekend!   Friday night Ryleigh stayed with my aunt and I went out to eat with my mom and BK. We went to Newks then came home and called it an early night.   Saturday morning I woke up and cooked French toast for breakfast. Around lunch we went to town to get some things for a crawfish boil that afternoon. We enjoyed some yummy crawfish and beer later and sat around a fire talking with friends and family Saturday night.   Sunday morning we got up early and left to go to Houma, Lousiana for a mardi gras parade. We went with a large group of friends and had the best time!   After the parade we stopped to get king cakes and eat a late lunch/early supper at Zydecos. They have some of the best char-grilled oysters I've ever ate! Pasta Ponchatrain was amazing! Fried shrimp and oysters in a creamy alfredo sauce. Heaven!!   I enjoyed my weekend a lot, and I'm feeling more Cajun ...

Not too much and I'm enjoying that. The girls went to the dentist yesterday to have some work and they were such big girls. I'm so proud of them for not crying one bit.   5. What I'm dreading. I can't think of anything that I'm dreading ha! ...

  Linking up with Ashley  and Erika  for my first Tuesday Talk, where you chat about anything and everything! Today I want to chat about my first born, the little human that made me a mama.... Ryleigh is my first born, a "surprise" as some would say, but one of my biggest blessings! Full Name: Ryleigh-Ann Paige Williams Birthdate: March 23, 2010 7.5 pounds 19 inches I was 20 years old living in the dorm rooms at college, working a part time job, and Ramsey and I had only been dating two years when I found out I was pregnant. To say I was shocked was a complete understatement. I had no idea what I was going to do or how I was going to make it. I moved out of the dorm and into Ramsey's parents house, and decided it would be best to put my school on hold so I could work. I took a managers position at Bath and Body Works and worked 8-12 hours almost everyday until the day before Ryleigh was born.   The day before she was born I took off work earl...
