Today is Steven & I's two year anniversary. It's hard to believe! Wow, lots has happened in those two years. We spent the weekend on a little get away to New Roads, LA. We stayed at our dear friend's, The Sherman's beautiful camp on False River. They are such a generous & hospitable couple. They so graciously allowed us to stay for the weekend. We brought Christopher along with us. We spent Saturday just relaxing and looking out onto the water. It was a beautiful day to be outside. Saturday evening we enjoyed a delicious dinner at our favorite, Ma Mama's! We were treated wonderfully! Steven's groom's cake was a Chantilly Cake from Whole Foods. Since, we no longer had a cake topper to enjoy, I brought along two slices of Chantilly Cake with us to enjoy over the weekend. Well, Ma Mama's is famous for their TALL three layer cakes. The couple seated next to us heard it was our anniversary, so they sent a slice of chocolate cake over to our table. Then our waitress overheard it was our anniversary so she packed us a giant piece of strawberry shortcake to go. Needless to say we still have yet to put a dent in the piece of strawberry cake! We had to bring it back with us to Baton Rouge. It was a very "sweet" evening. Christopher did great at the restaurant. He slept half the time & ate goldfish for the other half. That evening we watched our wedding video. We LOVE to watch it! I think we pick out a new favorite part each time we watch it. In a way we are able to relive that most special & sacred day of our lives. Sunday we woke and went to mass at St. Mary's. We then went back to the camp, put our swimsuits on, & relaxed again. We made a delicious lunch. Then by that time it was already time to pack back up & head back to reality. It was such a sweet & peaceful weekend. It was very much needed! We thank you again Steven & Jane for sharing your little piece of heaven with us! We appreciate it so very much.

Much Love & Many Blessings to my dear husband. I love you Steven...Happy Anniversary,

Mama's First Mother's Day

I had such a lovely first Mother's Day. Steven treated me to a dinner date on the Saturday evening prior to Mother's Day. We enjoyed a quite, long, & delicious dinner together at the Little Village down town. After dinner, we finished off dinner at Whole Foods with yummy gelato. On Mother's Day morning, Steven & Christopher brought me breakfast in bed along with a hysterical card, which Christopher signed too : ) They brought me Coffee Call cafe au lait & a low fat morning glory muffin. One of my favorite breakfasts! We then went to mass at Aloysius and had lunch with all the Brookshers at Mae Mae & Birds house. It was a lovely day. In addition to celebrating my first mother's day, I hosted a Mother's Day tea to honor all of my clients. All of my clients are moms! I have to say it has been such a joy to offer fitness classes for moms! I'm not just providing them a way to get fit, but I'm also providing each of my clients a sweet & joyful community of moms and children. Each of my clients has become one of my dear friends & I am ever grateful for each one of them. Therefore, I wanted to honor them in some small way. We enjoyed scones, cucumber sandwiches, coffee, tea, fresh flowers, pretty dresses & hats, and our friendship. Lauren Romero also displayed her sister's jewelry. We had such a sweet time & I will treasure my first Mother's Day forever.

Much Love & Many Blessings,
