Hi there! Welcome to Candypo.com aka Candypolooza!
I’m Candy, mother of two boys, wife to my hubs of 17 years. I’m a writer, college student, wanna be fitness person- chef -entertainment critic and traveler. Seriously just lover of all things LIFE with family and a lot of fun. It’s a wonderful life, my friends.
Army Familia
Yes, we are a military family. We lead a bit of a nomadic lifestyle with the hubs job (thanks Army). It’s the only life our boys have known, but the hubs and I were civilians for five years prior to him coming back into the Army. Don’t get me wrong, we are enjoying every minute of it! We typically stay 2-3 years at each duty station. I’ll be teaching you all the lingo and jargon
Our Travels
We love to travel and get familiar with the areas around us- day and weekend trips are our favorites. I take lots of pics so plan on seeing pics of our travels. And you can get ideas of where you’ll visit when you hit up areas we have been to.
Mommy and her boys
Check out my section on Texas, Florida, Georgia and soon I’ll add some Louisiana content. Check the Travel section on the front page for posts on where we’ve been! I like to share fun facts about where we’ve been, where we are and where we are headed! I always think it’s helpful to get an idea of where you are, so other families headed there can get an idea of their future home.
Have a question about where to go? Send me an email: [email protected]
Sweepstakes and Giveaways
Do you enter sweepstakes? I sure do! Well, I’m an on again/off again Sweeper! I’ll be posting about sweepstakes on the blog too. Tips on how to win. Wednesday posts for #WinItWednesday will feature national Instant win games and sweepstakes for you all to enter and hopefully win from! You can always check the Giveaways tab for blog giveaways! I started blogging as the content manager for a sweepstakes website and have followed SweetiesSweeps since the beginning of my sweeping days. I truly believe I have learned from the best!
I love a good giveaway and when I have time I enter sweepstakes.

Did I mention I’m a Foodie? Guilty! We love trying new places and I’ll def dish on the places with you. Check the Food tab for my personal recipes as well as reviews of places we’ve eaten!
