Have you visited Dollywood lately? If you have, you've likely seen my new favorite part of the park AND the biggest expansion in Dollywood history... Wildwood Grove! Here I'm breaking down all the rides, things to do, foods to eat, and fun to be had in this amazing, new area of the amusement park! A few weeks ago, I had the amazing experience to see the brand new addition to Dollywood, Wildwood Grove on the day it opened to the public. This area of the park is the biggest expansion in Dollywood history. In fact, the 6 acre 2019 expansion cost more than the original purchase of Dollywood back in 1986! Want to learn more about Dollywood? Visit here to get all the details! Actually, this wasn't my very first time walking around Wildwood Grove. I was there back in mid-March and the area was, well, let's just say a little less colorful … [Read more...]

This post is sponsored by Brita but the content and opinions expressed here are my own. If you've been around this blog any time, you know that I'm all about easy, small steps to a better life. Why? Because when you take small steps to a more eco-friendly lifestyle, you're more likely to sustain those steps. If you try to go totally waste-free in every room of your house when you are used to having 2 cans of trash a week... you're probably not going to be successful. But if you try to go waste-free in one room at a time, with an end goal of total waste-free in one year, you're more likely to hit those goals. That's why when people ask me what's my number 1 tip for going green, they are almost always underwhelmed. But then I explain that reasoning - small steps make big changes in the future - and they get it. And one of the … [Read more...]

This post was sponsored by GOOD THiNS as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. Summer is right around the corner. In fact, here in East Tennessee we'll be hitting 90 degrees almost every day this week so I think it's safe to say that summer is already here! I'm so thankful for the warm, gorgeous weather because it gets us outside working and playing. With all that working and playing comes big appetites and lots of snack requests. While it's tempting to buy pre-portioned snacks to have on-hand during the warmer months, they are usually not the healthiest of options. Buying pre-portioned snacks can also add up. I've found that prepping our own snacks, after buying in larger quantities, is not only healthier, but also more affordable. That doesn't … [Read more...]

This post has been sponsored by Best Buy. All opinions are my own. My family's favorite place to hang out at home is outside. We enjoy the outdoors wherever we are, it seems. Whether it's camping, at the beach, or even at home. On our most recent beach trip we were so excited to find an outdoor sitting area in our beach rental with a television and the girls fell in love with it - and I have to admit, so did I! I started wondering if it would be possible to create such an outdoor space like that at home and it turns out - it's way easier, and more affordable, than I originally thought. After a little digging, I found these great options at Best Buy. The SunBriteTV Veranda series is a family of weatherproof televisions designed for full-shade applications: Full Shade (Veranda), Partial Sun (Signature), and Full Sun (Pro). It … [Read more...]
