4.5 days left of school until we are in our #summe 4.5 days left of school until we are in our #summerofyes. We’ve added a few new things to our summer schedule like me trying a three day work week, art and sports camps, homeschool summer curriculum (more on that later) and season passes to the water park. Summer has become one of my favorite seasons with the kids even though it can be hot and miserable. What are your plans for summer?

I want you to know that I see you and I am holding space for you… if you have a child in foster care, if you placed your baby for adoption, if you are trying to have a baby, if you have lost a baby or child, foster parents, if you are waiting to adopt.

My 10 Must Have Mardi Gras Items

10 Mardi Gras Must Haves

For our family, Mardi Gras is the best time of the year. We try to get to as many parades as we can during the parading season… even on school nights. This year seems even more special since we did not have Mardi Gras in 2021. We are so ready for Carnival fun this year.

For those of you that aren’t from here I will fill you in a little. Mardi Gras Day is March 1, 2022. For the three weeks prior there are parades all over New Orleans and surrounding areas. Starting the Tuesday before Mardi Gras Day there are parades every night and all weekend long. We really enjoy getting to see our city explode with excitement.

I have a little wish list going of items I want to get before parades start. I thought I would share them along with the things we already have and love.

Golden Lily Earrings

We like big earrings, and we cannot lie. Especially for Mardi Gras.

Shop Golden Lily Earrings.

Fleurty Girl Tees

Everything for her, him and the kids. All of our kids have worn the Neutral Ground side shirt. They will be releasing new styles soon so follow them on Instagram.

Fringe+Co Headwraps

I found Kelsey and her headwraps last Mardi Gras season and became obsessed. She makes a variety of sparkly items, but her head wraps are my favorite. She has a wire in the bottom of the wrap to make it easier to tie.

This past year they have also launched caftans, tinsel jackets, dusters and there is an official Fringe Sparkle Warehouse. Check them out on Instagram.

Elektra Cosmetics Bolt Balm

This stuff is fun, you can layer it with different colors, and it lasts for hours. A little goes a long way and you need it. Follow them on Instagram.

Elektra Cosmetics Bolt Balm

Bon Temps Boutique

I love a costume for Mardi Gras, but it never fails there is always one day it rains, is cold or I just want to be comfortable. Bon Temps Boutique has all the best items for when you will be out on the Avenue all day.

Perlis Mardi Gras Rugby Shirt

This is Justin’s favorite Mardi Gras Shirt. It is not lightweight so take that into consideration if Mardi Gras is going to be warm. This shirt also runs large so size down.

Perlis Rugby Mardi Gras Shirt

Spy Girl NOLA Majorette Boots

There are a lot of places that sell these boots but I love her vibe, that she is a local artist (member of Dames De Perlage) and she handmakes the tassels. You can order from Lauren here and follow her on Instagram.

Spy Girl NOLA Majorette Boots

Mardi Gras Crossbody – Kayla Bags

These bags make life so much easier on the parade route.

Ladder

We sold our big Mardi Gras parade ladder last year because the boys were really getting too big for it and getting them in and out was a struggle. My friend had these ladders and the kids can just stand on them. A lot less of a struggle to bring to the city and easier for the kids to go up and down.

Four Step Ladder from Amazon

Light Up Laces

The kids love them and I can see where they are. Two birds, one stone. I have seen a lot of people on the route with these laces and also the shoes.
