Southern Mama of Two

Happy Wednesday! I am sharing our overnight trip to New Orleans for our 1 year anniversary. Heads up that almost all of my pictures are of the food we ate haha!   Saturday morning we were up early and headed out towards New Orleans. We stopped in Hammond for lunch. We ate at a new to us restaurant called Our Mom's Restaurant . We ordered an appetizer of fried green beans. They were good but kind of spicy. We split the surf n turf burger and it was super yummy!   We walked down the street to Sweet Rolls for dessert. I have been dying to try the rolled ice cream and it didn't disappoint! We split the cookie monster.   We walked around downtown Hammond for a little while, checking out some of the shops. Hammond is such a cute town, I just love it!   Our next stop was Slidell for the Honey Island Swamp Tour. I took the tour a few years ago, but this was Walt's first time and he loved it! I enjoyed it as well, but it was SO hot on t...

Happy Monday I am linking up with Lindsay to share my weekend!   Friday afternoon Carlie and I picked my girls up from their dad then ate supper at Cracker Barrel. Saturday we were up early headed to see Henley play tournament ball.   After his first game we went to eat at Chick Fila then we had to pick up a few things to get ready for our gender reveal.   Saturday afternoon we had friends and family over to find out the gender of our 3rd baby!   We had my cousin Carlie find out the gender and she poured the colored powder inside of our combine. When Walt's dad turned the combine on, the color show out the back.   I'm going to let you guess what the color was by my reaction.... If you guessed blue then you were RIGHT!! Oh my goodness we are over the moon excited to add a sweet little boy to our family. Rhett Granger West...   I knew if I ever had the chance to have a boy, I would name it after my grandparen...

Linking up with Lindsay to share my weekend! Friday night Walt and I dropped the girls off for the week with their dad. I may or may not have cried a few tears. After I pulled myself together we grabbed supper, I had a delicious grilled chicken salad. We spent the rest of the night finishing season one of True Blood.   Saturday morning I was up bright and early to decorate for my best friend's bridal shower that I was helping host. We hosted a bridal brunch with lots of yummy food and mimosas (which I didn't get to enjoy). Everything turned out beautiful and she received lots of great gifts!   Saturday afternoon my mom and I went to the nail salon to get a pedicure and spend a little time together. We picked Walt up on the way home and went out to a fish house for supper.   Sunday morning we went to church, then came home and make a fresh tomato and bacon sandwich, with the yummiest tomatoes grown by my awesome father-n-law! After lunch my father-...
