Celebrating Chinese New Year

Disclosure: This post was sponsored by Ling Ling, all opinions expressed in my post are my own.

Celebrated by more than 20% of the world, Chinese New Year is also known as the Spring Festival. By welcoming spring we’re also saying goodbye to some of the coldest days. It’s a fresh start and new beginnings that I everyone can relate to.

There are other Asian countries that celebrate the new year as well. It’s often referred to as the Lunar New Year in places like Vietnam, and North and South Korea. What some of you may not know is that my oldest daughter is half Korean so we often bring her culture into the home and that includes celebrating the Lunar New Year.

Ready to celebrate the Chinese New Year? If you’re wanting to have a celebration here are a couple ideas to spread the culture to your family.

Similar to other American holidays, gifts are often exchanged during the Chinese New Year. Children often receive “lucky money” in red envelopes from friends and family alike. Often there’s upwards of $150 per packet!

Cricut cutting

You can easily create these packets with this FREE Chinese New Year red packet file. This file will only work in Cricut Design Space. Click the link above to download the file. In no time you’ll have fun packets to use to spread good luck to friends and family.

Another fun fact about this time of year is that you’re supposed to eat dumplings daily! Sometimes you can even see folks eating dumplings for every single meal. That can be pretty pricey unless you have a secret weapon in your back pocket.

My secret weapon is Ling Ling. Ling Ling provides authentic Chinese cuisine and yes, you could eat them every day and not get tired of them. If you’re my friend you know I actually do eat dumplings 3-4 times a week. I’m a tad bit obsessed with the chicken and vegetable Ling Ling dumplings but there are also pork and vegetable, or vegetarian. You can tell that the freshly sourced ingredients are clean and high quality.

My favorite way to prepare my dumplings is to bring a pot of water to boil then place dumplings in the water. Bring the water back to a boil and continue to cook for 5-6 minutes.

After they’re cooked through, place in a hot skillet with 1 TBLS of oil (flat side down). Do not move the dumplings while they’re frying or they may rip. Fry for 3-4 minutes then enjoy!

I usually end up buying huge bags at BJ’s Wholesale Club but you can find them at your local grocery stores like Target, Publix, and Walmart. Check out the store locator to see how close you are to the convenience and amazing taste of Ling Ling.

Chinese New Year is February 5th this year so make sure you have your money pockets prepped and you pick up Ling Ling dumplings!

Instagram post 2185715538955744876_8677249 Parenting a teen is hard, you guys. (ad) One thing I’ve FINALLY figured out this year was how she would be able to go to college. It wasn’t always easy for us... still isn’t but I knew I wanted to make college a priority for my kids. The hard part was figuring out how. @myfloridaprepaid has been the answer I’m looking for. Over on the blog I’m sharing how it has helped us make the best financial choice for our kids, especially when one is already in high school. https://bit.ly/2oR8dNG

Instagram post 2063941033397357866_8677249 Relaxation level was at a 10. We stayed at “𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐥𝐞” - a @magicalhomes (search “RVH_385M on their website) this past week and we definitely felt like kings & queens.⁣
⁣
>>𝐒𝗪𝐈𝐏𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐒𝐄𝐄 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄!!<<⁣

I don’t want to vacation any other way and you shouldn’t either. When you come to Orlando, skip the theme park hotels and get yourself a fully stocked Magical Vacation Home! You’ll thank me later! 😉⁣

I make this #MermaidBowl almost daily but shhh there’s a secret ingredient! Scroll to see!⁣
⁣
Summer temps have already hit Florida, so I do everything I can to make sure my family is staying hydrated. What is better is when the drinks I give them are plant-powered hydration like in @v8juice V8 +HYDRATE (which I found at Walmart). 𝐕𝟖 +𝐇𝐘𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐄 has 1 serving of vegetables, only 45 calories, no sugar added, no artificial sweeteners, Non-GMO and gluten free.⁣
⁣
1 cup frozen mango⁣
1 cup frozen strawberries⁣
1 cup frozen pineapple⁣
1 can V8 +HYDRATE Strawberry Cucumber.⁣
To get the beautiful purple color I mixed in 1 small spoonful of blue spirulina powder.⁣
Consistency will be thick, almost like ice cream. ⁣

We are ready for all the pool and water park fun! Stress-free summers are where it’s at. ⁣
⁣
One thing that helps me be stress free is knowing my kids are all set for college with their @myfloridaprepaid accounts. If saving a set amount isn’t for you, I’m so excited to tell you that there’s another way!⁣
⁣
𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐝 also has a 𝟻𝟸𝟿 𝘚𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘗𝘭𝘢𝘯! That means you can save for college but on your own time with however much you can afford. I’m spilling all the beans on this great plan that CAN also be added to an existing college plan or on its own.⁣

Instagram post 2049474142381770495_8677249 Can it be the weekend yet? I can’t believe it’s only Wednesday. 😱

With temps heating up quicker than ever I know I need to #JustWearTheSuit while my kiddos are around. I quickly took off this coverup and got in the water with them. I still felt like people were staring at me but I didn’t let that show.
What helps you get past your insecurities especially when you don’t feel as confident like being at the pool or beach in a swimsuit?
