Chloe here. Happy Thursday — aka baby Friday, aka almost the weekend. There’s nothing that I love more than all things Mardi Gras. It’s a tradition in my family to order an authentic New Orleans King Cake and see who gets the tiny plastic baby inside for good luck throughout the rest of the year. This year, you can catch me at Mardi Gras: A Taste of Carnival in Greer hunting for that baby.
