A quick trip home filled with good food, great conversations, family, friends, and making memories with the kids 🤎
From girls’ lunch dates and catching up with people I love to exploring the city through the kids’ eyes, this trip was a reminder to slow down and enjoy the simple moments.
Trip highlights:
Day 1
• Dinner at Copeland’s on the Westbank our first night in 🍽️
Day 2
• Breakfast at Toast in Gretna ☀️
• Lunch at Opelousas Seafood 🦐
• Dinner at JJ Seafood 🌊
Day 3
• Lunch at Sofia with the girls 🍸✨
Day 4
• A stop through the French Market after the line at Loretta’s was a little too serious 😂
As much as I love traveling, there’s something special about going back to where your roots are. Every visit reminds me of where I came from, how far I’ve come, and the people who helped shape me along the way.
New Orleans, until next time ✨⚜️

Good food. Loud laughs. Long conversations ☺️
The older I get, the more I value simple moments with friends. Moments where nobody is rushing, everybody is just present, and the only thing on the agenda is good energy and making memories 🤎
Now let’s talk about Sofias 😭✨ The ambiance was a vibe, the music was GOOD, and the DJ was rolling all afternoon . The drinks kept coming, the food was fresh, and somehow we managed to order a little bit of the good stuff off the menu 😂🍕🍝🍸
Favorite things we tried:
🍕 Pizza: 8.5/10
🍝 Aglio e Olio Pasta: 9/10
🍹 Drinks: 10/10
🍓 Dessert: we had the pistachio olive oil cake which was actually pretty good
Definitely one of those places where you go for lunch and end up sitting there for hours just talking, laughing, and enjoying the moment.

Valid crash out 😩
but we not staying here. 😂
Life will have you frustrated, tired, irritated, emotional, and questioning everything sometimes. That part is human. The dangerous part is getting comfortable in that space and letting it consume you.
Feel it. Reset. Regroup. Then get back up.
Not every day is going to feel motivated and perfect. Sometimes you really gotta push yourself through the fog, take care of your mind, and keep moving forward one step at a time.
Don’t force what isn’t aligned.
Don’t stay stuck in negativity either.
Take the breath, have the tantrum, and keep going. 🤞🏽
Can you relate? 🫠 Happy Monday.
