Back To School Lunch Box Idea

Back To School Lunch Box Idea

This shop has been compensated by Inmar Intelligence and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone.  #MakeBacktoSchoolPremium.

August is here which means back to school season is in full swing! Jordyn starts 2nd grade next week and I’m still in disbelief. As we prepare her school uniforms, supply lists, and sleep schedule, we can’t forget lunch options. Since Jordyn started school back in 2018 I’ve always made a point to create fun lunch meals for her. One of my favorite lunches to make for Jordyn is this Back To School Lunch Box Idea using Land O’Frost® Premium Lunch Meat. Land O’Frost® is my go to because there are no artificial flavors and no by-products!

Jamaican Rum Punch

July 20, 2021 Comments : 8

Jamaica’s Independence Day is less than 2 weeks away on August 6th. What better way to celebrate than with one of people’s favorite drinks to come out of Jamaica? This easy but strong Jamaican Rum Punch is made with your classic Wray & Nephew white rum. If you’ve ever had this rum before then you understand why I used the word “strong” LOL. I will also add that if your Jamaican Rum Punch recipe is using a rum that isn’t Wray & Nephew you should question the authenticity of the recipe.

This strawberry simple syrup recipe is as simple as the title. It only consists of three ingredients and is tastier than any store bought simple syrup you can find. We all know homemade naturally tastes better. The fresh strawberries in this simple syrup give any mixed drink the boost it needs. It adds a sweet fruity taste to cocktails and/or mocktails.

10 Book Goal for 2021

July 13, 2021 Leave a Comment

10 book goal for 2021

Since 2018 I have set a goal to read at least 10 books a year. And since 2018 I have not reached my 10 book goal LOL. I start off so strong for the year with two to three books then life happens and next thing I know it’s a new year and I’m making the same goal. This year I promised myself I would stop making excuses and reach my 10 book goal for 2021. Not only did I accomplish this goal but I did so half way through the year. Although this may seem small to some this is a big deal to me. I absolutely love reading and getting back to what I love to do has made a big difference in other aspects of my life as well.

Jamieson Summer Vacation 2021

July 6, 2021 Leave a Comment

Jamieson summer vacation 2021

We spent our Jamieson summer vacation 2021 in Florida last month. My little family and I packed up the car and road tripped there for a much needed 3 week vacation. This was our first time stopping in Mobile, Alabama instead of Pensacola, Florida as our half way point. I’m not sure if everyone was taking family vacations the same weeks as us but hotel rooms were either sold out or super expensive. As they say, if there’s a will then there’s a way, and we found exactly what we needed when we needed it for our trip.

Grandma Lena’s 93rd Birthday in Vegas

June 22, 2021 Leave a Comment

Grandma Lena's 93rd Birthday in Vegas

Last week Jordyn and I flew out to Las Vegas from Tampa to spend my Great-Grandma’s birthday with her. Making it to see 93 years is truly a blessing. After the last year of craziness and uncertainty I’m thankful she’s happy and healthy. Grandma Lena’s 93rd birthday in Vegas was definitely one to remember. Tons of dancing, laughs, and genuine love to fill a stadium. And to think there were so many of us still missing from the celebration. I’m hoping next year Grandma Lena’s birthday celebration will include a majority if not all of the family. When you come from a very large family like ours getting everyone in one room can be a bit…tricky lol.

Chicago Trip: April 2021

Chicago Trip: April 2021

I got the chance to go home and visit my Chicago family for the first time in over a year and a half. Out of everyone in my family the main focus of my trip was to see my Grandma. If you know me then you know I am the definition of a Grandma’s girl. She is my main girl. Going so long without seeing her was definitely the toughest part of this pandemic. However, as hard as it was to not see her, I am thankful for her continued health throughout this entire ordeal. I, unfortunately, know quite a few people who can not say the same regarding their loved ones this last year. Being able to give her a masked up huge hug multiple times is exactly what my soul needed.
