Our family is consistently looking for quality entertainment while traveling. 16 years my husband & I went to our first opry show together and since then, we were hooked! Where can you get clean family entertainment that includes singing, dancing, comedy, country and gospel in Pigeon Forge? Country Tonite Theatre has been providing quality entertainment in Pigeon Forge since 1997. In fact, Country Tonite in Pigeon Forge, Tenneesse has won so many awards including “2001-2013 show of the Continue Reading

Smoky Mtn. Family Fun – Wilderness at the Smokies Resort #BayouTravel

December 12, 2013 by Maria

Every year we visit The Great Smoky Mountains National Park in East Tennessee so our family is no stranger to the area. A year doesn't go by that my children don't ask to stay at the Wilderness at the Smokies Resort in Sevierville, Tennessee. This November my children got their wish as we arrived to the Smoky Mountain area for our annual Sinclair Thanksgiving in the Smokies family vacation. We had a busy itinerary this year in the Pigeon Forge & Gatlinburg that we thought staying 2 nights at Continue Reading

Christmas and the Red Dress #RememberWhen

November 16, 2013 by Maria

Disclosure: I was compensated for my time on sharing the YesVideo holiday deadlines. All opinions and family memories are 100% my own. When I think of Christmas memories, I always think of my grandparents. My grandmother would bake holiday treats for friends & family while my grandfather would search the sales ads for Christmas dinner items. Grandpa would always assist in gift buying which made my grandmother's life somewhat easier during the holidays. My grandmother was famous for Continue Reading

Baytowne Marina in #Sandestin

November 5, 2013 by Maria

Disclosure: Our stay at the Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort was complimentary but these activities are free of charge for all registered resort guests at Sandestin. On our last full day at The Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort we took the free tram to go bike riding at the Baytowne Marina. Before heading over to the Bike Depot we took a stroll on the Marina to see what awaits us when we return. The Marina sits on the shores of the Choctawhatchee Bay in Northwest Florida and features restaurants, Continue Reading

Visting Sandestin Area – The Village of Baytowne Wharf #Sandestin

October 29, 2013 by Maria

Disclosure: Family Passes for the following locations were provided. All thought & opinions are always my own On our first full evening at the Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort we took the free tram to The Village of Baytowne Wharf in Sandestin. We knew there would be shopping and a various selection of restaurant options but there was also family fun that awaited us at The Village of Baytowne Wharf. I love that we are experiencing Sandestin in the fall. There are zero crowds and short wait Continue Reading

One Direction: This Is Us 3D Movie Review #1DMoviePremiere

August 27, 2013 by Maria

My daughter's life is semi complete! Not exactly, but the euphoric feeling has not gone away since last week's advance screening of One Direction: This Is Us 3D movie. My daughter is a 13 & a huge Directioner. She, along with a group of friends adore the band One Direction. As a mother, I sometimes worry about any strong adoration with someone in the entertainment industry. Honestly, you never know what direction a teen/young adult may head towards. I'm not even going to mention previous Continue Reading

Pass The French Market Coffee, STAT #FMCup

July 14, 2013 by Maria

Disclosure: I received items in order to facilitate this post. All opinions are my own & can not be influenced in any way. In my family there is a slight coffee addiction. Coffee in the morning, coffee after lunch & even coffee before bed. It's bad, I know but it's something my husband & I are just used to. For the most part we enjoy our coffee the same way (with the exception that he generally likes his just a tad bit sweet than I care) but our only fight is bagged versus single serve Continue Reading

nuNAAT NAAT Treatment For Curly Hair Review

June 7, 2013 by Maria

Products used were provided by the brand. All opinions & thoughts are my own. Like many woman, hair is a hot topic. We love what others have & want to change what we were born with. It's no surprise that my teen daughter is also in this category. But with having curly hair and living in the humid South, having a good hair day is few and far between. My daughter has been flat ironing her hair for at least a year. I know using a flat iron isn't exactly good for her hair we she tries to Continue Reading

Saving Time, Money & Energy #FiltreteFilters AD

June 6, 2013 by Maria

My husband has been an Electrician for the past 20 years, so it is no surprise that we always invest time and money to make our home more energy efficient. I was recently given the opportunity to review Filtrete Filters by 3M air filters for my heating and cooling system. I needed the change too! I have bought air filters from as little as $2-$22 and all were mediocre. Why? Well, the generic no name brands caught the dust & sometimes just masked odors from our pets, mildew, cooking, cleaning Continue Reading

I’m Styling with the Conair Infiniti Pro Series #conairdidmyhair

May 23, 2013 by Maria

My hair, like for many women is something I can't begin to explain! Years ago I used to wake up, brush my hair and I would be done with the prep work that involved my hair. I haven't brushed and left my hair alone since back in the mid 90's when I was in high school. Then one day my curly haired youngest sister started using a flat iron and my life forever changed. I know it's not good for my hair, but I need to flat iron and blow dry. My hair needs it. I need it. Believe me, you don't want to Continue Reading

28 Days to Supercharge My Metabolism #FastMetabolismDiet

April 30, 2013 by Maria

The Following is a sponsored post. All opinions are my own & can not be influence in any way. Losing weight is something that I have been working on for several years. It seems like I do well for a few weeks then once I plateau, all my good word ends and nothing else is lost. What I have been needing is something to change my mind frame and metabolism. It's not that I eat a overeat or that I'm eating nothing but processed, unhealthy foods either. I need to exercise more and get my slow Continue Reading
