    Memorial Day is usually the start of nice weather “up North”! And what a great weekend for us. As always, we went to the Memorial Day parade in our town, then drove over to the city where I grew up (about 10 minutes away) and placed flags on the graves of our family veterans and said a few prayers. My son’s birthday falls on this weekend so we always have a joint birthday/Memorial day family party – this year was no exception. The solar cover heated the pool water up enough so everyone could swim (definitely NOT always the case!) The past 3 weeks have been incredibly busy as a family – my husband is taking a few night classes at a local university to finish a couple of grad courses up, kids had AP exams, SATS, ACTs (coming up), end of year assignments, basketball tournaments, lacrossse games, track invitationals, etc – so while we “should” have done yard work, we kind of just collapsed around the pool and enjoyed family time. Best weekend in a long time!!

    We did a little car test driving, as I am looking for a new car. Then my mom and I participated in our first 5k yesterday! I’m a new runner, so this was my first race!

    It looks like you had a great 3 day weekend! We took Wyatt on his first boat ride and he didn’t scream. He actually passed out. Success!

    I actually took time and really cleaned my kitchen. My roommates and I have been neglecting it for a while, so it was finally time to get it done. And I must say, it looks GREAT now 🙂

    Ran a 10k…in brutal heat!! I’m glad that race is over! Hard to believe it’s already SO humid and in upper 80s in Southern VA in late May. I’m already dreading my summer training runs. Other than that, normal Memorial Day activities – pool, bbq, etc.
    BTW, your yard looks fabulous – nice work! 🙂

    I love your yard! But I think I love that black dress more! 🙂

    I ran my 1st 10k race Monday-virtual run. I ALMOST died! It was so hot here in Alabama-even at 6pm. Now I’m looking for a “real” 10k to sign up for at the end of this month or July.

Staying in an A-Frame cabin by Zook cabins at Val Staying in an A-Frame cabin by Zook cabins  at Valley Bear Farms felt like stepping into a real-life Pinterest board 🤍 (ad)

These architectural gems mix rustic charm with modern design—think soaring wood ceilings, giant picture windows, and a dreamy soaker tub that makes you never want to leave. 😍

We even brought our dogs along (yes, it’s dog-friendly!) and watched deer wander by through the trees. 🐾 

Valley Bear Farms is tucked in the mountains of North Carolina, surrounded by peaceful forest views and plenty to explore. The property has hiking trails, a cozy general store, and other on-site amenities that make it feel like a little mountain village all its own. ⛰️ 

If you’re craving a nature-filled, beautifully designed getaway where you can truly unwind, these A-Frame cabins are it.👍🏻

Not ready for a phone yet? SAME. 🙋‍♀️ The Cosmo Not ready for a phone yet? SAME. 🙋‍♀️ 

The Cosmo JrTrack 5 Smartwatch has been the perfect in-between for us — she can call and text the people I approve, I can see where she is with GPS, and it has school mode, SOS, activity tracking, and even a little camera she loves. 

We got the Holiday Bundle with the screen protector and LaunchPad stand, and it honestly just makes the whole thing easier. 

If you want the link, comment “watch” and I’ll have it sent straight to your inbox. 🎄⌚️✨

There’s just something about the holidays in the Smoky Mountains — the lights, the laughter, the togetherness — it all feels extra magical. #sponsored

Our first stop was Dolly Parton’s Stampede, the world’s most visited dinner attraction, and it’s easy to see why. The pre-show in the Stampede Saloon had us singing along to country and Christmas classics before we sat down for a four-course feast that could rival any holiday dinner. 🐴 

Then the arena came alive with 32 magnificent horses, trick riders, and dancers bringing the spirit of the season to life with a friendly North vs. South Pole rivalry, toys that come alive, and even Santa arriving in a horse-drawn sleigh. Pure holiday joy from start to finish! 🎅🏻 

Next up was the Titanic Museum Attraction, beautifully transformed into an Elegant Edwardian Christmas, giving Titanic the Christmas voyage she never got.  We each received a boarding pass with the name of a real passenger, explored the Grand Staircase, and even touched the icy 28-degree water.  The interactive exhibits made history come alive, and it was such an emotional, unforgettable experience for all of us. 

And to end the weekend, we dove into adventure at Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show.  Led by Captain Blackbeard himself, the Crimson and Sapphire crews battled for treasure with acrobatics, mermaids, fire stunts, and even a sea lion! Between the four-course pirate feast and the jaw-dropping stunts, it was nonstop fun and the perfect grand finale to our Pigeon Forge weekend. 🏴‍☠️ 

 This trip reminded me that time together really is the best gift. Add Pigeon Forge and these incredible attractions to your holiday must-do list this season. ❤️

Comment “Pigeon Forge” and I’ll send you links to grab your tickets before they sell out!
