How Do You Celebrate NCAA Game Day?

Disclosure:  This is a sponsored post by Global Influence.  The thoughts expressed below are mine.

Cheering on our fave NCAA teams is a family tradition.   The Three Boys and an Old Lady household is all about cheering on our fave teams but the ONLY thing Hubby and I have in common when it comes to our teams are the team colors - crimson red and white.  Hubby and his friends loves their Razorbacks and the SEC Division but it's the Big Ten for me. 

During NCAA football season, our home is full of family and friends gathered around the big screen cheering on our fave teams.  Seems everyone has their traditions when it comes to the big game.  For us it's all about the food and the gear.  Hubby loves to fire up the grill just as the game begins and by halftime the food is ready.  However, way before the mesquite wood chars, we love to suit up in our fave team gear.  

My fave is my Indiana University sweatshirt.  I've had it for over a decade and put it on every single time my team plays.  

Hubby has tons of tees and shirts of his fave team including this one he's had for years.  It's tattered and torn, there's a hole in one of the sleeves and the letters are faded but it's his favorite shirt.

Oh, he's also got another fave team shirt a friend gifted him with a few Christmases ago.  He didn't wear it much at first until he went to Hawaii.  The shirt was a hit!!!  He received so many compliments on this conversational piece of a shirt and even met a few University of Arkansas alumni while on vacation.  This shirt draws attention whenever he wears it and he loves it.   

Our Saturdays are all about NCAA College Football and we are looking forward to watching the bowl games on Christmas day!  I'm also excited to see NCAA, Walmart, Axe, Dove Men+ and Degree have partnered for a Walmart NCAA promotion and you can score a $5 Walmart gift card when you  purchase $15 of Axe, Degree, or Dove Men+ Care products in one transaction. 

Also, you could win a trip for you and a friend to a college bowl game.  How exiting!!! Click here for more info on how to enter.

Maple and Brown Sugar Air Fryer Bacon

I've been raving about my Instant Pot but now I have a new favorite... the Air Fryer.   O M G This thing is amazing!  I don't know why I was so late to the Air Fryer craze but I am so glad I am finally onboard.   I've been talking about getting one and then after my aunt posted pics of her new air fryer, that was it off to Best Buy I went.   I wasn't sure how big of a unit I would need but I figured the 2.5 liter would suffice.  I chose the Chefman Express.  It was priced on the shelves for $85 but online for $75.99 and my local store matched the price AND I had my Swagbucks Best Buy QR code so I got 500 SBs + 2 SBs for every dollar spent so that's another 170 SBs.  So, after discounts, my air fryer ended up costing me less than the sale price.  Woohoo! There were some fancy ones on the shelves with digital display but after checking the reviews I figured since I don't fry much this model would suffice. When I think of fried foods, I think

One lucky Three Boys and an Old Lady blog reader will receive a $15 Walmart eGift card. $10 may not seem like a lot but it’s enough to stock up on some last minute Christmas clearance gifts. Trust me. I bought a 6’ Christmas tree WITH lights, 2 animal massagers, 3 Jelly Belly BeanBoozled Jelly Beans Mystery Bean Dispenser, Christmas cards and wrapping paper less than $20 during an after Christmas Walmart shopping trip. I was searching for some cough syrup when my friend’s kid spotted the Jelly Belly BeanBoozled Jelly Beans Mystery Bean Dispenser on sale for 50 cents. What a steal! The regular price is $10 so to find them on sale for 50 cents was a deal. We cleared the shelves. A few rows down we spotted some anima

A Pit Stop at Sho Nuff Hot Tamales in Greenville, Mississippi

My cousin and I were driving along and our tummies were rumbling as we crossed the Mississippi state line on US-82.  We didn't really have any particular dish in mind for lunch but we started seeing signs saying "Hot Tamales". "Hot Tamales", my Philly cousin asked. "Yep", I replied nonchalantly.  "I remember reading something about hot tamales being a big thing here in the Delta."   We kept driving and finally decided we would have to try these famous Mississippi Delta hot tamales. Now to decide which one.  There were literally dozens of tamale spots.  We happened upon a restaurant called Sho-Nuff and decided it was the one. We parked and entered the large, delightfully decorated restaurant.  The wall was plastered with local and national awards in recognition of those hot tamales.   There was a sign touting Sho-Nuff as the winner of the local newspaper's favorite restaurant award and 3rd place winner in the annual  Delta Hot Ta
