Best Crab Rangoons I’ve had in YEARS along with some amazing Boba.

Tiger Mom in Sevierville is certainly a small and locally owned business you need to support!

They also have great hibachi, poke bowls, and more! Full video review coming soon!

Let’s play a little game!

🎅 Two Truths & a Lie – Christmas in the Smokies ✨

1️⃣ Dollywood’s Smoky Mountain Christmas has over 6 million lights
2️⃣ You can ride ski lifts and go tubing in Gatlinburg during winter
3️⃣ Cades Cove is always closed all winter long

🎄 Guess before you read the comments! Which one is the lie?

🐸🦋 The frogs at Wild Wood Grove in Dollywood…

This is the first ride all of my kids seem to love. Even my older 2 who are now tall enough for some coasters, beg to ride the frogs! My favorite thing is watching the adults enjoy it too haha!

What is your kid’s favorite ride at Dollywood?🐸🦋

Did you know BUC-EES sells these lap trays that are PERFECT for littles in car seats?

We use them on road trips, long car rides, or for things like driving through Christmas lights and eating a sweet treat.

Be sure you’re checking out more than just the brisket at Buc-ees. What’s your favorite non-food item there?

If you’re looking for some old fashioned barrel candy at a great price, the Moonpie General store has you covered!

This place was my grandmothers favorite to visit before she passed away. She talked about it being a “genuine general store”.

Have you been in? What is something you’re always going to walk out the door with?

If you’ve followed me for any length of time you know I try very hard to promote our locally owned and small businesses.

And honestly, they’re better than the corporations most times anyways! Even if you can’t support monetarily, you can support in other ways!

We had a delicious lunch the other day at Junction 35, Mountain Mile Location!
They have some of my FAVORITE fried pickles. Their fried green tomato’s are also my favorite in the area.

They hand make a lot of their menu in house, and have great service

You can also check out their moonshine before or after your meal.

Have you visited Junction 35?

❄️You’re wanting to see snow when you’re visiting the smoky mountains? ❄️Specifically in December? Let’s talk about it. This has been one of my most asked questions recently.

These pictures are on my back porch from one of our heaviest snows, 2 years ago, this happened in January.

While the higher elevations will see snow accumulation, it’s not super likely for Pigeon Forge & Downtown Gatlinburg to get heavy snow in December. We are in a valley and have a “horseshoe” of mountains around us that tend to block the snow from laying.

Impossible? No! But a true “White Christmas” is actually pretty rare. Our winter weather typically happens mid January-February.

And honestly, as pretty as it might sound, a true heavy snow is likely to lead to road closures, attraction closures, and unsafe conditions. We also tend to lose power with icy conditions making for a not so fun vacation.

If you want to see snow my best advice is, assuming roads are clear, drive up into the national park a bit! You might see some beautiful views and a light dusting on the ground.

What has your experience with snow in the Smokies been?
