EXPLORE NASHVILLE || FRANKLIN.
















okay. so technically, franklin is a cozy town in the outskirts of nashville. about fifteen miles south to be exact. it's where the three of us "nashvillians" live so we knew we wanted to show our friends around. we woke up saturday morning and stopped by the franklin farmer's market. we enjoyed crepes, fresh yogurt with granola, hot chicken and the best orangeade i've ever had. we picked up a variety of cheeses, rosemary bread and strawberries for a picnic later in the afternoon. and then we made a quick stop by the abandoned silo to take a few photos which turned into jumping fails and straight up, laughing so hard you cry, silliness. we listened to music, let the babies nap and planned our afternoon. on sunday morning, we came back to franklin to eat a delicious brunch at gray's pharmacy on main street before saying goodbye. while nashville will always be the place i grew up, franklin is where i currently come home to and i've loved these last seven years here.

EXPLORE NASHVILLE || 12 SOUTH.










the next stop on our weekend in nashville was the twelve south neighborhood. i grew up around this area and have watched it evolve over the last ten years. unfortunately, our visit here was cut short but we managed to stop by a few favorite spots first. we shopped around white's mercantile and imogene + willie. and couldn't leave before grabbing a few popsicles at las paletas! if you're ever visiting nashville, make sure to spend an afternoon here. we didn't have a chance to enjoy the all of the incredible food, so we will just have to save that for next time! 


places to eat, drink + enjoy something sweet:

+ burger up
+ edly's bbq
+ 12 south taproom
+ the filling station
+ las paletas
+ jeni's ice cream

EXPLORE NASHVILLE || PINEWOOD SOCIAL.













a weekend with my favorite girls could not have come at a better time. once we were all together, it seemed as if we had each been carrying something heavy and needed the comfort only your friends can provide. after a few trips to the airport, we met at pinewood social in downtown nashville for coffee, cocktails, and a more than a few appetizers. we each spent time loving on sweet theo, watching kelly be a super mama and going around the table sharing stories. pinewood was such a great place to start our weekend. between the crema coffee, fried broccoli, and a table that could accomodate the eleven of us, we could not have asked for anything better.
