Nanny to Mommy

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!
