You can reach Folly Beach by car just 20-30 minutes south of Charleston via Hwy 171. The area is vibrant, walkable, and family-friendly. Once you get there your next question is likely to be, “Where are the best places to grab a bite?” So first thing’s first- most of the restaurants on Folly Beach do […]
Hotel Review: The Tennessean Hotel & Marriott Knoxville Downtown
Luxury is typically defined as something non-essential but more and more these days I find myself redefining what I view as essential. And isn’t that the way it should be? As we grow and change so do our priorities. One of the major adjustments I’ve made since becoming a parent is my standards for hotel […]
The Best Bakery in Johnson City, Tennessee
I discovered I was gluten intolerant after a trip to Italy in 2019 and since then I’ve been highly selective about what and when I’m willing to “risk it for the biscuit”. I prefer pastry over bread, cookies, or cakes but it can’t be just any pastry. I’m talking about the kind that would make […]
Celebrate Oktoberfest in this Knoxville Beer Castle
October is finally here which means Oktoberfest is almost over! Don’t worry if you can’t make it to Munich this year. Knoxville has the best place to celebrate Oktoberfest (in a CASTLE no less) and I’ve got pictures to prove it.
Delta Blues BBQ
The newest restaurant in Bristol caught my eye while walking down State Street during Rhythm and Roots last weekend. Delta Blues is a BBQ restaurant that feels a little like Memphis and Nashville right here in Bristol. My husband is known as the brisket king in our family so I knew it wouldn’t be long […]
Graze Burgers
Girls night out has been scheduled at Graze for months now and after 2 failed attempts the third time was the charm! I’m excited to see how downtown Sevierville looks in the near future. How great would it be to have more restaurants and maybe even (Heaven help us) a brewery?
Welcome to Mashville
I am thrilled to share that we celebrated not one but two special occasions last weekend in Nashville. I graduated with my Master’s Degree as a Family Nurse Practitioner from Vanderbilt and on the same day Chris turned 30! After graduation we were looking for a place to escape the pouring rain and toast to […]
Get the Best View of Two States from this Rooftop Bar
The Bristol Hotel is Bristol’s first ever boutique hotel and its also home to Lumac, Bristol’s first ever rooftop bar. That’s more excitement than our little town has seen since the Battle at Bristol was hosted at Bristol Motor Speedway back in 2016. After weeks of traveling all over East Tennessee, I finally got the […]
Wild Vine at Zoo Knoxville
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?
