The Big Apple Circus is at the Verizon Amphitheatre in Alpharetta, GA from Jan 26th - Feb 25th (select days). Tickets to this world renowned show start at $29, so get them before they're gone!

The show itself is indescribable. I do have a video of the highlights below, but it doesn't do the show itself justice. From high flyers to contortionists and so much more. The whole was a jaw dropping experience. There were funny moments as well as some adorable moments too. Every seat makes for a great show.

When my daughter was about one year old, her pediatrician started recommending that she take a probiotic. I have done my research and there are so many more benefits to take a daily probiotic than just regulation. Gut health has so many benefits through out your entire body. Finding the right probiotic is key though especially when your little ones are concerned.

LoveBug® Probiotics is a premium line of award-winning probiotics for the whole family With a patented delivery technology, LoveBug® Probiotics are 15x more effective in delivering the microorganisms to the digestive tract than other leading probiotics. They were developed by a mom for moms. Rooted in science, LoveBug Probiotics were developed in partnership with internationally recognized doctors and scientists. LoveBug® created the first staged probiotic for babies specifically designed to support their developing microbiomes.

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Game Day Favorites Available at Publix. The opinions and text are mine.

If your family and friends are anything like mine, then football season is a time where you all come together and enjoy the game, each other's company, and yummy foods! I have quite a few go-to tailgating recipes, but if they are easy then that's the one for me! Publix is one of my favorite places to shop for game day events, especially starting January 20th because they’re running an awesome promotion that will help you stock up for all of your tailgating needs.

We like to invite friends and family over to our house for game day. Usually we set the game up outside in the garage so it is more like a "tailgate," and everyone brings a dish or drink of choice, and then sometimes they'll even throw the football around. I love the social part of tailgating more than watching the actual games. We all get together so the kids can play as well.

I am a HUGE Disney fan and have always been so I have decided that I would share more of my passion here on the blog. And I'm so excited that the 2018 Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures Slate is now available! Check it out below:

Popsicles are our favorite summer treat. In fact, they are such a family favorite treat that we even eat them during the winter! They are easy to make and I am loving this fruit punch infused recipe I created.

Tampico is planning an exciting refresh to its brand later this spring, so in honor of its near 30-year history, we’re taking a look back with them on the past few decades and reliving our favorite moments. Join in with the nostalgia and fun and let us know what games, TV shows, foods and more you loved from your childhood in the comments!

There are so many things that I enjoy about being a mom. One of my favorites is sharing memories from my childhood with my children. When I was growing up, Saturday morning cartoons were a huge deal. Every other day of the week was busy with school and playing outside (which is also my children's favorite thing to do). It has been so cold here this winter, so we have been snuggling up on the couch more and streaming our favorite shows. I am a baby of the 80's and thanks to Netflix, we have been able to start introducing our children to the classics, such as Care Bears!

I decided to break out the Tampico, another classic “Splash From the Past,” that has been bringing delicious fruit juice drinks to kids (and moms) since 1989, and make some Fruit Punch Infused Popsicles to share with my kiddos while we watched the multi-colored bears that bring back so many wonderful memories from my childhood.

Twelve soldiers overcome incredible odds in this courageous true story. On September 11, 2001, the world watched in terror. On September 12, 2001, they volunteered to fight. On our darkest day, they were our greatest hope. #12StrongMovie open January 19th.

12 STRONG is one of the great unknown stories of American valor. Twelve brave U.S. soldiers dropped everything and ventured into an unknown land, outnumbered 5,000 to 1 to complete one of the most successful special forces missions of all time. However, they had to use the rudimentary tactics of the Afghan horse soldiers rather than state-of-the-art warfare to battle the heavily-armed Taliban. This is the amazing story of these 12 heroes and the families who wondered if they would come home alive.

If you are anything like my family, then you are already planning you yearly trips. We take our annual Panama City Beach, FL trip during Fall Break, but by planning everything out at the beginning of the year we can save MORE while doing it.

I love checking out any and all offers I can to try and find a deal for our family traveling adventures. Last year, we headed to Chattanooga and saw Ruby Falls and Rock City during Spring Break with some deals we found. Every thing was planned so last minute, so we KNOW we could have saved more if we had just planned a little bit better.

Smoothies are a great way to start your morning because they are so easy to make plus you can store your dry ingredients in the freezer. You can prep your ingredients for the week and store them in the freezer. When you are ready to make your smoothie, just add everything to the blender with your liquid and you are good to go! My New Year Resolution was to eat at home more and making my own smoothies at home helps me not pay for something on-the-go. So today I'm sharing some yummy smoothies recipes, most the are vegan and gluten free!

I have loved the ibotta app since the very beginning. I love it because it is a simple, no nonsense app that lets you earn cash back on products you already buy and from retailers that you already shop at! If you are like me then you made New Year Resolutions. My two main ones for this year were to save more money to cut down on debt and get healthier. ibotta can help with both of these right thanks to Health and Wellness week from 1/8 to 1/14 on the app!

It has been unusually cold here in the Southeast thanks to that drastic climate change. My husband and I are from the south so we aren't use to this type of weather. What seems to make it the worst is that we didn't get any snow at our house so what was the point of all the cold? We love going to Stone Mountain. We love hiking the trails and everything else they have to offer. This time of year they have something called Snow Mountain and we wanted to see what it was all about.

My husband suggested last week that we take the kids. Our favorite thing to do is create memories with our children. I love giving the gift of experience instead of physical gifts. So we decided to look into buying passes. Their site suggested to buy tickets in advance so we did. With your pass you were able to get two hours of snow tubing and all day of playing in the snow. There were also options available for food as well as their additional activities, but we were just there for the snow.
