Word of the Year: Wanderlust - Meaning, Inspiration, & Planning

I haven't talked about it much on here yet, but my word of the year is "Wanderlust".
What does that mean? It means a strong desire to travel. We started really exploring the world around us last year, in fact you can read about all of our Family Travel adventures HERE.

From a trip to Stone Mountain.

My husband and I have decided that we aren't going to sweat the small stuff anymore because you only live once and money doesn't go with you when you die. I think there has just been so many events that happened recently in our lives that made us want to enjoy life more. And we enjoy spending time together and enjoying "experiences". So what does that mean? We love traveling to explore new places, we like going to shows together (like when we went to The Fox and saw "The Lion King"), and our new passion that we discovered last year - hiking.

Save on Game Day Favorites for Your Tailgating Needs

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.

Fruit Punch Infused Popsicles with Tampico

This post is sponsored by Tampico. All opinions are my own.

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!

Valentine Inspired Fruit Punch Infused Popsicles with Tampico



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.
