Summer Staycation at Gaylord Opryland Resort

Summer 2020 is a little different than we pictured but we have done everything possible to make it fun and keep Reins and Addison busy and most importantly…HAPPY!

We haven’t been able to travel as much as we had planned but we did get to enjoy a summer staycation at the Gaylord Opryland Resort which just so happens to be one of our absolute favorite places to visit!!! I’m sharing a recap of our stay PLUS a very special discount for Tennessee residents and non-residents!

Forty IS fabulous!

I’ve always heard that 40 is fabulous and I have to agree…it truly is…at least so far! As I write this, I’ve only been 40 for a hot minute but I knew before today even came that I was going to embrace my new age and look forward to a brand new decade ahead…a decade in my 40’s….WHOA, that just got real! Eeeekkk…I’m 40 y’all, WOW!

Jalapeño Mango Margarita

Margaritas have always been one of my favorite cocktails to enjoy, especially on hot summer days! From classic, to strawberry, to spicy…what’s not to enjoy when it comes to a fresh margarita?!

Most recently, I’ve been enjoying spicy jalapeño margaritas and decided to create a jalapeño mango margarita! It’s the perfect balance of spicy and sweet!

Small Patio Refresh with Walmart

Today I’m excited to share how we turned a small unused patio space in our backyard into one of our favorite new spaces to sit and watch the sunset with new outdoor furniture and decor from Walmart!

I had a general idea of how I wanted this small space to look and once I began browsing outdoor furniture on Walmart’s DIY & DONE page, my vision started coming to life.
