Tennessee Tuesdays

Thinking about moving to Tennessee or looking for a job with relocation to Tennessee? Well the Volunteer state might be looking for you and there are a few cities throwing money at new employees.  Tennessee Tree Day is coming up March 18th and you can find more information here

The holidays are here and gone, and we are back, so we figured we'd discuss some new 2023 laws for Tennessee. We hope y'all had an amazing time over the holiday period and crush the new year ✊

With the holidays in full swing and Christmas just around the corner, we thought we'd mention off a few activities around Tennessee for some family fun and Babs will let y'all know why she strongly urges against Jingle Beat in Nashville.   The Tennessee Tuesday Podcast is available on most major platforms.

On this episode we discuss winter weather in our area of East Tennessee. Again, this is data directly from my weather station for our specific area and does not account for all of Tennessee.  Today is Giving Tuesday and if you have been following us for some time, you'll know how much St. Jude means to us personally and we still need to rally some fundraising to meet our goal. Especially with these trying times, anything y'all can give is appreciated and means more to us and the families of St. Jude than you will ever know. Donation link below

With Halloween right around the corner, we're sharing our favorite pumpkin patches and things to do to get in the spooky mood. But more importantly, we need y'all in Nashville this Friday, for The Rally to End Child Mutilation at the Tennessee State Capitol War Memorial, to let the state and lawmakers know that a majority of Tennesseans do not want this in our state. This is becoming more common around the country and Tennessee is ready to take a stand and lead the way.  Matt Walsh recently exposed that the Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) in the state has been performing gender surgeries on minors. He also uncovered a video of a Vanderbilt doctor calling transgender surgeries “huge money makers.” This has to stop, NOW! There will be a handful of great speakers on hand: Matt Walsh, Senator Marsha Blackburn, Tulsi Gabbard, Robby and Landon Starbuck, and many more.

The Blount Pride event was publicized as "family friendly fun with activities for kids and teens all day long, including a Rainbow Storytime, which will be fun for all ages!" We witnessed something else. Drag queens putting on a show in Tennessee. The phrase "Don't California My Tennessee" is laughable, as the same policies, ideas, and activities that destroyed California, are already in the state of Tennessee, and there isn't a Californian in office to blame. Unfortunately, this one lies on the silence of Tennesseans. After the video clip went viral on social media, being shared by Robby Starbuck, Libs of TikTok, and many more, it's clear no one believes this could have happened in Maryville. Is Tennessee a conservative state? Is Tennessee part of the Bible Belt? Is Tennessee red? Is Tennessee Republican?

As Andy Frisella puts it: "75 HARD IS A TRANSFORMATIVE MENTAL TOUGHNESS PROGRAM" And completing it is one of the best things any person on this planet can do for themselves. It is extremely rewarding, but it's not easy and your mind and body will mess with you throughout the entire time. There will be test days where it will push you to your limit and see how mentally strong you actually are, and this past Sunday was one of those days for me. Best part about it is it will improve you in multiple areas in life. The next best part about tit, it's FREE. More info here

Accountability is a deliberate choice to execute something in a structured way. A problem that often comes with accountability is when we overextend ourselves, which gives us 'permission' not to do the things we agreed to because we find ourselves overloaded. Get focused and zero in.

The tequila is here! Our first shot comes from the King of Country himself, Mr. George Strait, and his Código Rosa Blanco. This is definitely one of my favorites and I felt it was a great tequila to start off with. On this week's episode, we are talking crazy Tennessee laws

Self control is tough, but when you form discipline in the small decisions, it becomes easy to gain control of every aspect of your life.

One of the more frequent questions we receive is "What's a good place to eat?" It's interesting how the restaurants we used to visit were major corporate chains and now they are small business, mom and pop style eateries. This is simply our opinion of the best restaurants in our area, based off our liking and opinions. The Tennessee Tuesday Podcast is available on most major platforms.

Decisions are tough, especially when you fear the outcome, but so often we only focus on one side of the "what if", never really asking ourselves ,"but what if it works".
