As my kids are getting older, we want Christmas to be more about experiences and less about gifts.  This year, we decided to spend some time together off the map and secluded in Montana. We stayed at The Resort at Paws Up after hearing about it from some of my friends who visited during the […]

We just got back from our AMAZING camping trip to Cumberland Mountain State Park in Crossville. I can’t tell you how wonderful it was to get a new change of scenery, get some FRESH AIR and BLUE SKIES, not be able to turn on the news. We made so many memories, laughed and enjoyed culinary […]

We’re having an absolute ball camping! Loved giving you a little tour of our Airstream before we headed out. You can read all about when we got it here. Unfortunately, a lot of the things I bought for it in 2018 are long gone. Dang! I didn’t want to leave you high and dry, so I’ve […]

Here it is! You asked and I’m delivering the ultimate ski essentials post! My family and I absolutely cherish our trips to hit the slopes. It’s great exercise and a really great family activity. When Steve was in the NFL, he was banned from skiing so he didn’t risk an injury. Now that he’s retired […]

Well, yesterday was SO MUCH FUN. I don’t know how I get so lucky to get to meet so many wonderful women. Pinch me! I spent the day with Dani, who attended this year’s Landyn’s Favorite Things and won a $2,000 shopping spree to the Mall at Green Hills here in Nashville. She was able […]

    This is LONG over due. I am so sorry that I am just now getting to you about our cruise recap from Italy! It has been such a whirlwind since we got back and honestly, I might still be jet lagged. HA. This week, I am recapping all the things regarding our 7 […]

Bonjour Ladies! I don’t even know where to start? So, let’s just start from the beginning. It was a Thursday and I was on my way to Luke’s football game, I got there early and was sitting in my car and decided to check a few emails. That’s when I opened an email, the subject […]

  Last weekend I surprised Lily and 7 of her friends with a little staycation at the Opryland Hotel and Soundwaves waterpark. It was her 15th birthday and I feel like that sweet kid has had the same birthday “party” for the past 10 years. It’s always been at our house, in the pool…well because […]

If you’ve been following along, then you know a few weeks ago, Steve and I snuck off to Utah for a little getaway while our kids were on their own trips. One in Minnesota to stay with a family friend and the other on a class trip to Florida. Let me tell you, it was […]

As I type this you’re probably sleeping and I’m 30,000 ft. somewhere over Geneva (I only know that because the screen on my Delta monitor says so) So please excuse my typos it’s 2 in the morning somewhere. Ha! I wanted to get this post written while everything was still fresh on my mind, although […]
