March Madness holds a special place in my soul. I grew up in the heart of ACC basketball country and have a special affinity for college basketball. I’ve filled out brackets for as long as I can remember and have vivid memories of doing brackets the first year after KPW and I started dating (we made a friendly wager and I won).
My years at Southern Weddings saw us do a fun twist with Southern Food brackets. Fast forward to the birth of TMS, me missing brackets last year and thus deciding it would be fun to morph the magic of TMS into a bracket this year. Introducing;
Voting for the first round is open now through Monday, March 22. Vote for your favorites. You don’t have to own something (i.e., T3 Wand – it can be on your wishlist or your ‘I just admire it’ list) or have tried something (Cape Cod Waffle Chips) to vote for them. Vote for your favorites. Vote as you wish.
How far will Trader Joe’s Cheese selection make it? What will be the biggest ‘upset’ in the first round? The Round of 32 will be released on Tuesday, March 23.
Feel free to print your own bracket (download it here), fill in your favorites and see if you can pick the 2021 TMS Champion. Clearly I’m rooting hard for my hot rollers and sunglasses 😉 May the TMS favorite win!

Some of these first round match ups feel like final four material! This is so fun!
I LOVE this. I also have a fondness for all the Madness and the basketball season so I’m excited to see how this bracket continues!
