Today is Mardi Gras aka “Fat Tuesday” which marks the end of the Carnival Season in New Orleans, Louisiana. Fat Tuesday is always the day before Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. Going to Mardi Gras has been on my “Bucket List” since college. I was a bit wild in college. I may not be going to Mardi Gras this year, but I will be venturing to New Orleans to go to the Mom 2.0 Summit Conference in April.
So today, I will be on the hunt for King Cake….there has got to be some in Orange County, right? I’ve never had King Cake, and I’ve decided that today will be the day. Even if I have to make it.

Now you are probably wondering, “what the hell is this?” I work with some pretty entertaining people, and they make me laugh, DAILY. Some of my co-workers have decided to dress up this stuffed lizard EVERY MONTH in a different costume. The costumes have been great. I even told them that they should make a calendar with all of the pictures. I had to take a photo of Iggy The Lizard today all dressed up for the parade, and he even has beads. Doesn’t Iggly look festive?
To everyone whom is celebrating today, have a great day!
And yes, Californians know about Mardi Gras!
