One of my favorite aspects of being a New Orleans mom is giving my kids the gift of Mardi Gras.
I married into a New Orleans family, and I lived a childhood void of what I now consider THE BEST HOLIDAY EVER! I went 21 years before I ever experienced the joy of catching beads from a ladder or the sweet delight of eating a king cake while watching a marching band parade past me. But, my children will forever and always know a world with Mardi Gras in it, and I am so grateful for that. We do Mardi Gras big in our house and we adorn ourselves in purple, green, and gold for weeks straight. If you are like me and you live for Mardi Gras and love for your whole family to be decked out during Carnival season, then check out these 10 Mardi Gras picks for the littlest members of your krewe.
These PJs made by NOLA TAWK are just as sweet as the king cakes that adorn them! Wear them as a pajama set or pair them with other items as separates! The possibilities are endless! You can find them at Zuka Baby and other local retailers.
The must have Mardi Gras T-shirt of 2019 is brought to you by the folks at HOME MALONE. Every Who Dat in NOLA will need one of these this year!
