Momma Told Me: It's Spring. Time for a break!
Spring is here and the SoCal weather has been crazy lately. It's hard to make plans when the entire freeway seems to slow down to a snail's pace over a light drizzle. We've had to get a little creative to get our FUN moments in this month.
It's no secret we're a Diet Dr Pepper® family. In fact, if there's one way we love to enjoy our Diet Dr Pepper most it's on the go; whether that's road tripping on vacation, a day at the beach, headed to league, or simply goofing off in the yard. A few years ago I dropped almost all soft drinks out of my routine, and Jay switched to diet varieties. That's when I discovered
DIET DR PEPPER® the sweet treat that's loaded with all my favorite flavors from Dr Pepper® (original). Much like dessert, it became a unique way to indulge during special events and occasions. This spring is no exception- Diet Dr Pepper® will be on the go with us every step of the way.
Need a little inspiration? I've come up with 5 ways to instantly FUN your spring; be sure to bring your Diet Dr Pepper® along!
1. Lawn Twister: This one's simple, grab an old box, cut a 10-12" circle out of the bottom, pick up some Marking Chalk cans from the local hardware store, and spray a colorful grid on your lawn. Assign a referee to call limbs and colors and get down to business in the fiercest game of Twister in tour life. First one out grabs the Diet Dr Pepper®!
2. Paws for FUN: There are a lot of great ways to have fun this spring with your pets. Get Fido in the car and hit the road for an impromptu adventure such as hiking, fishing, a brown sack picnic or people watching at the pier. Nora and I love to pack a meal or some snacks and drive around until we spot something interesting (such as a flea market or art fair,) then back the car up and take in the atmosphere from the trunk. She finds people almost as fascinating as I do!
3. Flavor Up The Grill: You don't have to leave home to enjoy the fun and flavors of Spring. Why not try making a homemade BBQ sauce and inviting some friends over for a cook out? Even better if you can convince a friend or two to bring a homemade sauce of their own! A little flavor competition never hurt anyone, right? Of course, my
Diet Dr Pepper® BBQ sauce has never let me down. I have neighbors asking me to make them a batch all the time!
4. Add A Little Color: No matter where you live there's bound to be an event or two in your area each weekend. Jay and I try to do
something each month, even if only one local event. These things range from a Renaissance Fair to a Tattoo Expo, or just the simple weekly swap meet at the fair grounds. No matter where we go we always bring a few cans of Diet Dr Pepper®- it's not just a line people - you may recall a certain color fun run photo of a certain mime holding his favorite beverage. Yea, that was Jay, and that's how we do FUN.
5. Find The Local Flavor: When all else fails, there's nothing special going on, and your friends are all out of town, become a tourist in your own hometown. You just may discover a new local haunt, or learn that your city's home to the largest paperclip in the country (who knew?) Jay and I made an afternoon renting a Surrey and peddling around the shores we'd visited a hundred times. The funny thing is- we always make a beeline for the water, and never knew there was a boardwalk or carousel just minutes away!
