Hey there! I’m a true East Tennessee gal with a heart for adventure, the Smoky Mountains, and all things outdoors. Whether it’s hiking the trails, camping under the stars, or road-tripping through Tennessee’s backroads, I’m always up for exploring.

Family is everything to me.
I’m blessed to walk life’s road with my hubby—32 years and counting! We’ve been gifted with nine incredible grown children, and somehow, life just keeps getting sweeter.

These days, my heart is fuller than ever—with four grandboys, one grandgirl, and another precious grandbaby on the way. I also have a heart full of amazing in-loves who’ve brought so much joy into our family.

And I can’t forget Meme and Pop—my incredible parents—who still love a good adventure and are always up for making memories with everyone.

I’m deeply thankful for this big, beautiful crew—and I can’t wait for all the adventures ahead with our Little Trekkers!

Tennessee is my happy place, and I’ve created this space to help you plan unforgettable adventures. From scenic hikes to cozy cabins and local eats, I love sharing the best of this beautiful state. No matter your age—whether you’re just starting to explore or have trekked through a lifetime—there’s always something new to experience.

So, let’s pack our bags, hit the road, and experience the beauty of Tennessee—one adventure at a time!
