I’m thrilled to introduce myself as a true East Tennessee gal with a passion for the Smoky Mountains, nature, and the great outdoors. Whether it’s a hike through the woods, a winter camping trip, or a leisurely drive on the backroads of this beautiful state, I’m all in for adventures.

Family is at the heart of everything for me, and I consider myself blessed to have walked alongside the man I call hubby for the past 32 years. I’m a proud mom to 9 wonderful grown children and a mom-in-love to some incredible people who have become part of our family. The joy of making cherished memories and spending quality time with them overwhelms me with happiness. I have 2 adorable grandboys, and they both hold a huge spot in my heart. I can hardly wait for the many adventures that await us as they grow.

I’m a nature loving Tennessee blogger, and whether it’s a hike through the woods, a cozy camping trip, or a leisurely drive on the backroads of this beautiful state, I’m all in for every adventure.

Spending time with my family and quick getaways with my hubby are my kind of bliss.  I’ve created this space to help you plan your own trips and vacations to Tennessee, from festivals that light up the night to the best spots for fine dining under the stars, from campfires where stories come to life to the hidden gems of swimming holes that’ll cool you off on a hot day.  

And you know what’s even better?  It’s all about having fun,  no matter your age – from the littlest explorers to those who’ve seen 102 summers.  So, let’s dive into the magic of Tennessee, where nature, family, and adventure come together, one trek at a time.
