A brief history of Jägermeister
Jägermeister, the favorite shot of millions, is an iconic and legendary German tradition with a rich and mysterious heritage of craftsmanship. Jägermeister’s name and trademark derive from the legend of the Patron saint of hunters, St. Hubertus. As legend has it, while on a hunt, the wild and unrestrained hunter Hubert was moved to devote his life to good work after he was confronted by a white deer carrying an illuminated cross between his antlers. It is this story that inspired the prominence of the stag in Jägermeister trademark and poem around the label, which was trademarked in 1935.

Ever since I was little I couldn’t wait for the holidays to get to was “A Charlie Brown Christmas” or ” It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown“…So it’s a no-brainer that I would share these with my children so they could enjoy the same fun and excitement that only the Peanuts gang can bring. Last year when they announced that there was going to be The Peanuts Movie, we were all really excited and couldn’t wait to see the Peanuts gang on the big screen in an all-new adventure.
Now you can bring that adventure home on Blu-ray, DVD & Digital! We received ours yesterday and couldn’t wait to have a Peanuts movie night! Since my littlest is too small for the theaters this was the first chance he’s had to see it…and he’s obsessed! He’s watching it again today.
The Peanuts Movie brings all your favorite Peanuts characters and a new friend into your home in a whole new story.
Life always seems complicated for good ol’ Charlie Brown (Noah Schnapp), the boy who always tries his best against seemingly impossible odds. When the Little Red-Haired Girl moves into his neighborhood, Charlie Brown develops a crush on her. Meanwhile, his best friend Snoopy embarks on an epic adventure in a fantasy world. As a World War I flying ace, the lovable beagle pursues his nemesis, the Red Baron, while also trying to win the heart of a beautiful poodle named Fifi (Kristin Chenoweth).
Lessons Learned from The Peanuts Movie:
Dream Big
Beleive in Yourself

Wanna Get Away? Take A (Summer) Break from Technology In Tybee Island, Georgia – The Ultimate Southern Beach Getaway!
With summer just around the corner, I know that there are some moms out there who are overwhelmed by the idea of planning a vacation – between soccer practices and carpooling, we understand! Plus, it’s hard enough to get kids off their technology, let alone to plan a vacation that engages the whole family.
So, if you’re feeling bogged down by emails and iPads, I have a solution! Just in time for summer, Natural Retreats has launched a collection of handpicked homes with Southern Living Getaways in Tybee Island, Georgia.
Tybee Island is a perfect destination for families with young kids who need an easy, affordable vacation for the whole family. With adorable beach cottages, white sands, and the town just a bike ride away, it’s a place where everyone can really unplug – and the only reception kids will pick up is a football on the beach.
Tybee Island takes you back to a time when things were simpler. Sip on sweet tea and listen to the waves crash against the shore on the porch of your very own beach house. Go dolphin watching on a chartered boat, fish the deep blue sea, or take a bike ride through one of the multiple nature trails. If history is your thing, spend an afternoon at Fort Pulaski, a historical landmark full of Civil War history.
Don’t have time to plan the details? You can call Natural Retreats’ Xplore Team – their onsite “fun” gurus – who will schedule all of your events for free! Mmm hmm…my kind of planning ;).
Go somewhere to remember this summer, and book your trip to Tybee Island! Visit NaturalRetreats.com or call 1(844) 678-5692 and they’ll take it from there. All you have to do is pack…
