One of the coolest things we did on our LDW road t

One of the coolest things we did on our LDW road trip was head down to Greenwood, Mississippi to take a class at the @vikingrange cooking school! 🍳 We took a class on brunch favorites and made egg nests, a sweet potato hash, French toast, turkey sausage, and a fruit tart. This was SO much fun and maybe will even inspire me to cook a little more often 😉 Huge shoutout @elaward for finding this fun opportunity for us in a cookbook!

Hey Alexa, play Jailhouse Rock 🎶 When I was in

Hey Alexa, play Jailhouse Rock 🎶 When I was in Memphis over LDW, I got to pay tribute to The King of Rock and Roll and see the world-famous Jungle Room (swipe 👉🏻 once to see!) at @visitgraceland! 👑 While I know and enjoy lots of Elvis music, I wouldn’t consider myself a super fan—but visiting the Presley’s beautiful estate, that Lisa Marie still owns, was a highlight of my trip. If you’re a huge Elvis fan, you’d be in paradise because in addition to the mansion tour, there are several large museums displaying Elvis’s clothes, cars, memorabilia, and airplanes, and, of course, there’s a massive gift shop complex. 💛 My favorite part though? @johnstamos, aka Uncle Jesse, was the narrator of the self-guided audio tour—they couldn’t have picked a better one if they tried! 😂

Happy Hump Day 🐪🥂💕 Wishing I was enjoying

Happy Hump Day 🐪🥂💕 Wishing I was enjoying a Ms. Ole Miss cocktail at @graduatehotels in Oxford, Mississippi right about now—Hotty Toddy!

Checked @peabodymemphis off my bucket list this LDW with @elaward 🦆✔️ Ever since I saw this hotel on an episode of ‘19 Kids and Counting’ (one of my long-standing guilty pleasures!), I knew I wanted to head to Memphis and see the world-famous Peabody ducks! Twice a day, there’s a running of the ducks—in the morning the Duck Master brings them down from the Duck Palace on the roof of the hotel and in the evening, he takes them back up. During the day, the ducks hang out in the Lobby Fountain. I never thought I’d get so excited about ducks (or consider quitting my day job to become a Duck Master), but it was so cool to see 💦 Of course, the hotel really doubles down on the duck theme—all the linens are embroidered with ducks, the lobby bar has the cutest duck cocktail (swipe to see!), and the gift shop has ducks wall to wall. 💛 The hotel itself is stunning and the staff was so hospitable—if you’re in town, it’s worth the splurge to check in! 🔑

Today was my Friday at work—I took off early for

Today was my Friday at work—I took off early for the long weekend to continue the tradition of road tripping through the south for the end of summer. ☀️ When summer started, I had no idea what it would look like—and it certainly didn’t include the trips to Italy and France like I had planned. But from a week at the beach with my cousins and sisters to a 0-minute commute, I actually think it turned out more than ok 🥂💦 I’m excited to enjoy the sunset of summer, and—I hate to even say this—may be even a little bit excited for fall! 🍁
