Fall is quickly approaching and for some of us loyal fans, that means it's time to tailgate! Whether you tailgate at home with all you game day favorites or you're headed to the stadium, here are some must haves for game day!

While a few may have more than five songs listed, it was still difficult narrowing down artists that have so many great songs to only my top five. I could probably do top ten for each, but that would be a lot..lol!

For all the dads and dads-to-be, and grandpa's too! Here are some great gift ideas for the men in your life!

Here are some of my favorite D.I.Y. projects that anyone can do. We all grow out of clothes from time to time, why not repurpose them? I also included some Dollar Store D.I.Y. crafts that make living a little easier and your living space uniquely you!

When I asked my kids what they thought my passion was, all they could say is art. As we talked about it, they discussed my love for singing, playing instruments, painting, crafting, and going to concerts/shows. Here are some of our favorites.

I have always enjoyed being in the kitchen baking and making unique dishes. Over the last few years or so, my kids and I have looked more at what we put into our bodies and have tried to make healthier choices. We also like to make new creations in the healthiest ways. Here are a few things we like and recommend you give them a try!

One of my passions is getting out to see the world. When it's feasible, I prefer to travel by car. Whether it's just me or the whole family, some things are absolutely necessary.

I take a few road trips each month and love to jam out along the way. There's nothing better than cracking the window, putting on the shades, and turning up the volume. And this playlist will have you thinking about all the great times that make you smile!

I was raised to love all animals and had many different kinds of pets growing up and as an adult. This is some I recommend along with different products and local groomers.

Spring time is all about getting out into the great outdoors and preparing for summer fun. Here's a list of some of my favorite activities that I love to enjoy with my Kids and friends. All of these activities are within half an hour of Cumberland and offer a variety of interests to make everyone happy!

I have five kids of my own ranging in ages from 27 down to 10. So I have experienced a variety of kid products through the years and now I have my first grand baby to spoil. Here's a list of some of our favorite baby things that we would love to share with you!

Every year we visit Virginia Beach at least once. We have been going for years and look forward to experiencing new things as well as visiting some of our favorite places. We were recently there and are looking forward to going back again soon when we go for a sporting event. I'm sure I'll be adding more fun places after our next visitr, so come back to see more!

Whether you are in a relationship or ready for a new one, these are some songs to get you in the mood for date night!

When eating healthy on the go is what you want, but hard to find, these aere some of my favorite picks!

I have been a long time dolphins fan since 1991! I've stood by my team and watched some ok, some good, and some REALLY GREAT players come through! And it's not just about how well they perform on the field, but also what they do off the field!

Once summer is over, and temperatures drop, you know it's time to pull out the holiday movies! In my house, we don't watch hardly any tv during the summer. But when fall comes, we pull out the halloween and Christmas movies to enjoy. These are just a few of our favorites!

My favorite time to watch these romantic movies is on a rainy or snowy day when I can snuggle up with a hot drink and some sweet treats. Of course my kids like to cozy up with me as well, and as a single momma, I certainly don't mind!

How I tame my thin, yet curly hair! Whether I am letting my hair air dry, or using my Lyealion rotating curling iron, these products keep my hair fresh looking all day long!

I had worked in education for a few years and these were some of our favorite artists when it comes to early education songs. I'll continue to add to this list as I find new artists that I plan to share with my grand babies!

My kids and I have stayed at these local spots and are so glad we found them! It's like a quick vacation, not far from home! Each spot has its unique differences, and we love them all!

I have loved sports since my early childhood! As a young girl wanting to play baseball in my area growing up, the rules were that you had to wait until age 8, unless you had a brother on the team, then you could start as young as six. You best believe I did! I wanted to play football as well, but mom wouldn't let me play on a team. So I did the next best thing and played with all the boys in the neighborhood every chance I could! And when I wasn't outside playing, I would watch these movies to hold me over!

Did you have a big win today? Or a sweet tooth that isn't being soothed? Check out these local sweet spots for the ultimate sweet treat that will surely make your day!

Breweries have become more popular in recent years and are becoming more family friendly. These local breweries are no different! Offering live entertainment, great food, and great atmosphere, there is no doubt everyone will enjoy themselves!

This is some of the songs I play to get me motivated each morning! I listen to my playlist on Amazon Music and shuffle my play lists throughout the day. More play list to come!
