2020, we are ready for you! A new DECADE!! But first, let’s take a trip down memory lane and see the best of 2019! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I started the year with launching my podcast, The Nash Chat<\/a>! It has been so much fun connecting with women (and a few men) sharing their stories and being inspired! Starting the podcast was out of my comfort zone and I’ve learned so much along the way, but it has been such an incredible experience for me! Looking forward to more interviews in the new year! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gaylord Opryland opened Soundwaves<\/a>! We have loved spending time at the indoor and outdoor water resorts! Such an amazing place for families! I can’t believe that I raced down the slides and even tried the one the bottom drops out of but I can’t wait to go back again!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Southern Living Instagram Story Takeover!<\/a> This was such a thrill for me to be able to takeover Southern Living’s<\/em> Insta Stories to share about Cheekwood in Bloom! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spring Break at Dollywood<\/a>! Dollywood is one of our favorite kid-friendly spots! The kids love the rides, shows, games and Dream More Resort! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Touring Southern Living Headquarters<\/a> was a DREAM COME TRUE! Seeing the test kitchen where recipe magic happens, the prop room with every colorful dish you can imagine and more. I’ve read Southern Living<\/em> for many years and can’t wait for it to arrive in my mailbox every month! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Football fans all around Music City celebrated the NFL Draft<\/a>! The free fan experience at Nissan Stadium was a blast! My football obsessed son was in heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hosting a Mother’s Day Luncheon<\/a> with some of my best friends and Honeybaked Ham. It’s always a good time to gather around a table with delicious food and spend time with friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CMA Foundation Music Teachers of Excellence <\/a>was an inspiring event honoring music teachers from across the U.S. and the impact they are making on students! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elisabeth Hasselbeck Book Signing and Mother’s Day Party at Draper James<\/a> This was my favorite event of the year! Elisabeth shared stories from her book, Point of View<\/a>. We had a bloom bar with Natchez Glen, food from Apple Spice, a beautiful photo booth, Nashville Cheese Gal and so much fun!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The time I turned Draper James into concert venue<\/a>…We kicked off CMA Fest with a Writers in the Round event! Sarah Darling, Rachel Wammack and Stephanie Quayle lended their beautiful talents for the party to benefit the CMA Foundation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visiting Bryson City<\/a> was another highlight! This quaint, mountain town is such a family-friendly destination with cute shops, restaurants and outdoor activities! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charleston calls us home! We love spending time in the LowCountry of South Carolina, it’s one of the best places to travel! See my Charleston Guide here<\/a>! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOTLANTA:<\/a> We spent some time exploring Atlanta and had the best time at the Braves, touring the College Football Hall of Fame, the Atlanta Botanical Garden and checking out a new city! There were so many family friendly activities and great food! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holiday World:<\/a> We took a short drive up to Santa Claus, Indiana. The amusement park has holiday themed sections like 4th of July, Thanksgiving, Halloween as well as Splashin’ Safari water park! We can’t wait to go back again! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

30A Travel Guide:<\/a> Our cousins moved to 30A so we have enjoyed lots of beach time with them. I compiled my guide to these sandy shores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We added two puppies<\/a> to our home! Beau and Scout have been a handful but have also brought so much joy! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tazikis Tailgate<\/a> Tailgates are always the best part of football season. We gathered our friends for a party with Tazikis! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sissy Goff’s Raising Worry Free Kids Launch Party<\/a>: I celebrated with Sissy and friends her latest book! Beating anxiety is such an important topic! It was a privilege to support Sissy and her book!<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kid-Friendly Halloween Party with Dollar General:<\/a> Making the holidays more festive has become one of my favorite things! We hosted a popcorn party with a few friends for Halloween. It was a highlight of trick or treating! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
