Last Friday we went to Wild Vine at Zoo Knoxville to raise money for animal conservation. Drinking wine for charity? Wild animals couldn’t stop me! To be honest, they were the main event.
Cheers From Arrington Vineyards
Nashville is one of my favorite places to visit but did you know there is a gorgeous vineyard waiting for you a few miles south of Music City?
Main Event Knoxville
There’s no better way to blow off steam after a long work week than going somewhere fun with friends. Main Event more than fit the bill for our crew with a massive arcade, a bowling alley, billiards, and laser tag. To top it all off they have a restaurant and bar in-house. We each purchased […]
Best Brunch Spot in Pigeon Forge
Brunch spots are hard to come by in my neck of the woods so I was thrilled to try out Brick & Spoon. It’s tucked away on Community Center Drive next to Walden’s Landing. They have a full menu and extensive drink selections including coffee drinks, mimosas, and Bloody Mary’s piled high with just about […]
A Look Inside Dolly Parton’s Song & Hearth Restaurant
Dollywood’s DreamMore Resort provides an opportunity for park goers and visitors to “stay and play” in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Their in-house restaurant, Song & Hearth, serves up casual elegance that will make you feel right at home and the best part is that no one has to fight over who cleans the dishes. I was […]
Alewine Pottery
I consider the art of making pottery to be part of my Appalachian heritage. From a young age my parents encouraged my older sister and I to learn how to “throw” at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.
Five Daughters Bakery

So you know that I have to share with you lovely folks when I find a winner and Five Daughters definitely stacks up. Bring your daughters, your friends, and your acquaintances but […]
Tennessee Aquarium
If you’re looking for something to do on a rainy day in Chattanooga, or any day for that matter, the Tennessee Aquarium is the perfect solution. With all they have to offer, you’ll find yourself completely immersed within minutes. Let me show you a few of my favorite exhibits from our trip!
Buffalo Mountain Hike
Buffalo Mountain sticks out in my mind not only for the gorgeous views but because this is the first trail Joe hiked without a leash. I was originally very anxious about the whole thing but then again I’m never not anxious so I decided to try it “just this once”. As usual I was worried […]
Roan Mountain Rhododendrons
I missed the official Rhododendron Festival that was held at Roan Mountain on Father’s Day weekend so we went to see them yesterday. The rainy weather was less than ideal but it didn’t stop us from enjoying these gorgeous purple blooms. Honestly, the mist created by the rain made it feel like we were walking […]
