I’m a small town girl with itchy feet for adventure and exploration which I satisfy by exploring the beautiful Appalachian mountains in which I reside. I also enjoy extended USA road trips with my family.
I currently reside in upper Northeast Tennessee only a stones throw from my small Tennessee hometown, Elizabethton, Tennessee.
I’ve lived, played, and worked in Tennessee my entire life most of which was spent right here in the Appalachian mountains. I spent a few short years in Memphis, TN while attending Pharmacy school and loved it, but our love for the outdoors brought us home to the Appalachian and Smoky Mountains.
I am married to my high school sweetheart, Mark. He is an amazing husband, father, and local optometrist to our small community in Blountville, TN. (Shameless plug, but yes, it’s true…just read all his great reviews. He’s the real deal!) He is also my photographer, my ATV driver, and my marathon road trip partner. We are best friends and have a great time exploring God’s creation.
We have three children that I homeschool and share my daily life with who know way too much about marketing and blogging, but who help me keep this house humming so that I can write and plan our adventures. They are a blessing and I adore them.
