Nashville’s Germantown neighborhood is one of my favorite in the city. The historic area is right next to downtown. The neighborhood is walkable with lots of cool shops and restaurants, and it’s filled with beautiful old homes. Germantown is significantly less crowded than downtown, and you really could spend the entire day exploring just this…
There are lots of great things to do around Franklin, but for book lovers, visiting Landmark Booksellers should be at the top of the list.

As a Nashville local, I’ve put together a list of the places you can’t miss while in Green Hills. Like always, I only recommend spots I have personally…
Tennessee has no shortage of incredible fairs and festivals. You could go to one every single week and still not make it to all of them. I’ve put together a list of some of the best options including my favorites: Daffodil Day in Bell Buckle, the National Cornbread Festival in South Pittsburg, and Tomato Arts…

I’ll admit that I’m a bit skeptical when a popular restaurant from a different city opens up a new location in Nashville. Sometimes those spots can be a bit overhyped and kind of bland, but that isn’t the case at all with Turkey and the Wolf. Turkey and the Wolf is an award-winning restaurant that…
Nashville has become known for its hot chicken, and if you ask for recommendations on where to go to try it, Hattie B’s will definitely be mentioned. Hattie B’s isn’t the original hot chicken place–that would be Prince’s Hot Chicken, which you’ll also find in Nashville. However, Hattie B’s is definitely one of the most…
Burgess Falls State Park is one of Tennessee’s many state parks that feature waterfalls. As my family is slowly making our way through all the state parks, we spent a morning at Burgess Falls during spring break. Keep reading to find out everything you need to know about Burgess Falls plus how our visit went …
Nashville is a great place to be in November. The holiday crowds don’t typically arrive until later in the month. And, if we’re lucky we’ll have really cozy fall weather all month. (Although it does occasionally snow in November, but that’s pretty unexpected.) There are a number of fun things to do in Nashville in…
Fall is in full swing, and it’s a wonderful time to be in Nashville. While it might be a southern city, we do actually get cool weather here, and the leaves turn gorgeous colors (hopefully soon). There are a bit fewer tourists in the city during this time, but the locals certainly are not slowing…
