Basketball is big in our family #KettleMadness

We are a basketball family.  You could say I was a basketball fan in utero.  My dad played basketball and has been a lifelong Lakers fan.  He always has a game on from October to June, pro or college.  If I wanted quality time with my dad, I would plop right down on the couch and watch with him.  I'm proud my love of basketball was contagious and that my husband and our sons caught it.  We enjoy watching basketball just like my dad.  It is great bonding time for our family.  A couple years ago when Duke was 5, we enrolled him in a basketball program so he could learn to be a little social outside of our family.  We loved going to his games and rooting for him.


March is huge for college basketball tournaments and you can bet all eyes are on our team, UCLA.  UCLA has an awesome men's basketball program and we've been so excited to see them play this season.  Their record rules too.  24 wins and 8 losses.  Championship games here we come!!!  We always have Kettle Brand Potato Chips in stock during basketball season.  Like real talent, real taste comes naturally!  There is nothing better.  Do you eat popcorn while watching basketball?  I don't know anyone that does!  Save ONE DOLLAR on Kettle Chips with this coupon!

Duke is sad that Walmart didn't have UCLA shirts in his size!

I wanted Jalapeno but it was SOLD OUT!  These are just as good!!!  These chips are the perfect companion to a good, hearty sandwich.  I might even put some in my sandwich!
