Summer 2020 is a little different than we pictured but we have done everything possible to make it fun and keep Reins and Addison busy and most importantly…HAPPY!

We haven’t been able to travel as much as we had planned but we did get to enjoy a summer staycation at the Gaylord Opryland Resort which just so happens to be one of our absolute favorite places to visit!!! I’m sharing a recap of our stay PLUS a very special discount for Tennessee residents and non-residents!

We always feel such a warm welcome from the Gaylord Opryland Resort staff and each and every stay at the resort always feels like we are truly away on vacation…it was a wonderful weekend together as a family. I encourage you to plan a visit soon as I know you will enjoy your stay as much as we did.

Gaylord Opryland Resort is truly doing everything possible to ensure the safety of their guests during this time. They are ensuring that guests wear masks and social distance when necessary. Everything is sanitized and VERY clean. We were truly impressed with the additional measures that have been put in place at SoundWaves to keep everyone safe and to ensure everything stays sanitized and clean. We felt very safe while enjoying our staycation.

We enjoyed dinner at Cascades American Cafe which is in the Cascades atrium and we also enjoyed gelato each evening from Bravo. Delta Marketplace was open, which was a great spot for breakfast and snacks and the pizzeria, Paisano’s was also open. SoundWaves has a wide variety of delicious options and we really enjoyed the tacos, burgers, pizza, and salads!

While there, I also was able to enjoy a Swedish massage at the Relache spa! it was such a wonderful massage and I left our staycation feeling relaxed and well rested. I was required to wear a mask during my massage…guidelines around masks are updated regularly so be sure to ask about this when booking your spa treatment.

While there…don’t forget to enjoy a tour on the Delta Riverboat as well. This is a short cruise around the Delta atrium where you learn a lot about the resort. One of the most interesting facts is that the oldest tree at the resort is 106 years old!

Nestled right outside of Franklin, TN you will find the most beautiful dahlia flower garden…Natchez Glen House!  I recently spent time at this beautiful garden and it was such a wonderful experience.  Surrounded by over 5,000 dahlia’s, I found myself feeling overwhelmed by the beauty and magic of this special place.  It’s as if I discovered a hidden treasure…one that I don’t want to keep hidden because I want so many others to be able to experience the magic too!

Natchez Glan House welcome’s their guests, by reservation, to come to the gardens and fill a bucket with 20-25 dahlia’s.  You may also cut roses from their rose garden should you wish to take home a mix of dahlia’s and roses.  The garden showcases such a large variation of dahlia’s so you can create a beautiful colorful bouquet.  I was immediately drawn to the pinks, plums, and corals!

If you live in Nashville, Franklin, or any of the surrounding areas (or if you are planning to visit), I highly recommend that you reserve a time to visit Natchez Glen House dahlia flower garden and cut your own assortment of flowers.  The flowers will be blooming through October and you can reserve a spot on their website, www.natchezglen.com!  Soak in the beauty of your surroundings while there and enjoy the magic of a very unique experience…one that you will always remember!

As always, thanks so much for stopping by and I’ll see you back here real soon!

A day spent in Beaufort, SC wouldn’t be complete without a stroll down Bay Street and it certainly wouldn’t be complete without a visit to one of the most beautiful & most charming southern shops…Scout Southern Market.  The crisp blue and white classic coastal decor draws you into a space that makes you feel right at home and their sweet tea floats will make you want to sit down and stay for a while.  Talk about southern hospitality!

Scout Southern Market’s beautifully curated collection of contemporary coastal inspired home decor will make you daydream of one day settling in a beach community (if you don’t already)!  From tableware & decor, to beautiful furniture, to eye catching home accessories, to women’s speciality clothing…you are certain to find a unique piece that will always fondly remind you of your time spent in Beaufort.  No matter whether or not you are looking for something specific, I guarantee  you will leave with a Scout Southern Market piece that you just had to have!

While shopping, be sure to venture back to their sweet tea bar for one of their delicious sweet tea floats!  The tea bar is a place to relax, take a break from the heat, and enjoy an incredibly refreshing beverage.  Scout Southern Market’s sweet tea float trumps a root beer float…once you have one, there is no turning back!  Who knew sweet tea and sorbet paired so perfectly together?!  I couldn’t wait to get home and make a sweet tea float for our kiddos!

We spent so much time at Scout Southern Market…it truly is such a special shop that will make you feel right at home.  A place where the hustle and bustle of everyday life slows down just for a bit…at least until you get to the bottom of your sweet tea float!

Have you visited Beaufort, SC?!  If not, you must add this small charming southern city to your list of must see places and as you map out how you will spend your time in Beaufort, be sure to add a pin mark for Scout Southern Market.

As always, thanks so much for stopping by and I’ll see you back here real soon!

OLIVE JACKET // SILVER JACKET // TOP // DENIM // SCARF

Last week was such a wonderful, inspiring, and heart felt week.  I partnered with Habitat for Humanity and Chico’s FAS for the #HomeIsTheKey campaign.  It was such an honor to be on site with so many amazing people…those who have invested their time and resources for two lovely ladies, Amanda and Ashlee, (the new homeowners)!

It has ben a while since I have participated in a Habitat for Humanity build and after learning so much more last week and being onsite helping, it has renewed my desire to become more involved.

Amanda and Ashlee are two very strong and committed women who are dedicated to providing the best life possible to their beautiful children.  Their new homes are a fresh start and I know they will enjoy settling and establishing roots.  Their children are just the sweetest and they seemed so happy as well…they are especially excited to decorate their new room!  As Amanda and Ashlee cut the ribbon for their new home, I’m pretty certain most everyone got teary eyed.  You can just tell how happy everyone is in these images.

I admire Habitat for Humanity even more after learning what all of their homeowners go through to get the keys to their new home.  Amanda and Ashlee started this process by submitting a 20 page application.  Once selected, they then go through a variety of courses and trainings as well as many hours of sweat equity volunteering with Habitat for Humanity.  Habitat homes are not gifted to these families, they do pay a mortgage but it is a mortgage that fits well within their budget.  Habitat for Humanity provided the resources and support so Amanda and Ashlee can be set up for success.

Chico’s FAS was such an important partner with these builds.  The team from headquarters flew in and so many associates from Chico’s, White House Black Market, and Soma Intimates participated in the final build days as well.  It was so inspiring to see so many women come together to add the final touches to Amanda and Ashlee’s new homes.

The Property Brothers were also on site…they have been involved since the build kicked of on 4/2/18 and they have really gotten to know Amanda, Ashlee, and their families.  They built a bond so it was so special to see them help Amanda and Ashlee dedicate their homes and cut the ribbon!

What an amazing experience it was…one that will never forget!

If you want to get involved with this campaign you can donate at any Chico’s, Soma Intimates, or White House Black market store.  Donations will be accepted through the end of May.  I encourage you to get involved too!  Every little bit makes a difference!

I’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the entire Habitat for Humanity & Chico’s FAS teams for inviting me to join you for this campaign.  Thank you White House Black Market for providing my outfits as well as Soma Intimates for providing some new pieces as well.

As always, thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!
