As I mentioned last week, we’re heading to Nashville this week for a family reunion. I can’t wait to hug my Nana, hold the new babies, see all the cousins, watch the kids get reacquainted and play together…it’s going to be great!
On the way, I’m very excited to meet some of you!! If you live in the St. Louis or Nashville areas, please stop by our Meet and Greet locations so we can have a chance to hang out and visit. Get all the specifics here. I look forward to meeting many of you!
We don’t mind the treat of eating out here and there while we travel, and enjoy our fair share of burgers and fries on the road. But to keep our stomachs from rebelling too much, we try to take along some fruits and veggies too. :)
Doing any traveling this summer? Here are some posts you might enjoy.

Dinner at my cousin’s house – can’t wait!
One last thing: We actually made enough Vanilla Extract this time to avoid selling out within a few hours! If you want some, come get it now as we’ll only be offering it for sale through Monday or until supplies last. :)
Hey Laura!
I am excited that you are coming to Nashville. I love in Murfreesboro It is about 30 miles east of Nashville. I probably won’t be able to attend the Meet and Greet. I just wanted to let you know how blessed I have by your site. The recipes, cooking tips, and life sharing has been wonderful. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Cheryl Whitfield.
So thankful to hear this encouragement from you. :) I’m bummed to hear it won’t work for us to meet up. Have a blessed summer!
I hope you have a wonderful time visiting with family. We so enjoy road trips to go visit the family. We also enjoy eating burgers and fries on the road, but we try to pack some healthy eats to supplement our greasy fare. The pasta salad bar sounds like a great addition. Have a great trip!
