Winter has us in its grip this week and has covered a large portion of the US in snow and ice, so to combat the bad weather, I’m focusing on the fun of Valentine’s day gift giving! My shopping style has changed now that my daughters are older. It’s not all hearts and candies (although, I still love giving and receiving those). Now, I look for gifts beyond the candy aisle!  I’ve found four cute and clever Valentine's Day  gift ideas for the whole family to share with you today.

 This past weekend, my family and I bundled up, jumped in the car and headed to First Horizon Park in Nashville for an epic holiday light show experience. Enchant Nashville, a themed light walk through winter wonderland presented by Hallmark is a sight to behold! It’s the largest themed light event in the U.S. and one you won’t want to miss.

With Halloween right around the corner, I was excited to learn about the new original animated film Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo, from Warner Brothers Home Entertainment. I grew up watching everyone’s favorite mystery solving gang, so I happily agreed to share this new film with you to keep the love of Scooby and the gang alive.

We kicked off September with a fun and tasty Labor Day BBQ and my mouth is still watering over the perfection of our meal. My husband, master griller and smoker of meats, pulled out all the stops by smoking up a tasty beef rope sausage from Southside Market and Barbeque out of Texas and a brisket we bought locally. If meat is a love language for you too, you’ll want to read on.

Happy Fall my friends! I simply adore this season for so many reasons. The crisp mornings, being able to turn off the AC and open up all the windows in my home to welcome in all that fresh air goodness, settling into a more home-centric routine, and of course- baking! I’ve already started my baking season off on the right foot by baking up a batch of tasty cast iron skillet butter-topped drop biscuits and I wanted to share the recipe with you. These were some of the easiest biscuits I’ve ever made.

The dog days of summer are upon us and while some are enjoying their last bit of summer by taking road trips and vacations, here in my town, school starts back tomorrow!

It used to be a weekend tradition for us to watch the TV show, so I happily agreed to share the magic of Thomas and the Magic Railroad 20th Anniversary Edition Blu-Ray/DVD Giveaway with you today.

It's May first and Friday, which makes today extra special in my book. I love May for so many reasons! The main one being the weather. May welcomes outside and reintroduces us to our yards that need cutting, our flowerbeds that need tending and our porches, decks and patios that need a deep cleaning. With all that outdoor time, we are prone to coming in contact with lots of dust and pollen, that's why I was happy to team up with a great group of bloggers to bring you today's giveaway. Read on to discover how we are saying Hello May! with a fab Breathe Freely Wellness Bundle and meet some new bloggers along the way.
