There are TONS (and I do mean TONS) of hotels, resorts, and cabins to choose from in the Pigeon Forge/Sevierville/Gatlinburg area. We have stayed at quite a few in the area and have had great experiences with so many. But, there is one we keep returning to. Wilderness at the Smokies. This property has everything! There would be no reason to leave the resort unless you had to. It has shopping, dining, a place to paint pottery, indoor putt-putt (and outdoor), indoor bowling, 3 waterparks, and ...
Old Hickory Steakhouse {Gaylord Opryland Hotel}
We were looking for somewhere different to eat at for our 11th Anniversary last week. It seems like we always go to the same places. While we do love Stoney River or something similar, we wanted to try something different. This year, we went to Old Hickory Steakhouse in Opryland Hotel. The hotel has an amazing selection of restaurants and the food is always good no matter where you eat, so we knew we were in for a real treat. The atmosphere is wonderful! The gardens, waterfalls, and ...
Titanic Museum Pigeon Forge {review & giveaway}
We've been before and it was so good, we had to go again. The first time we went to the Titanic Museum, we had an infant with us, which made it where we had to move really quick through the museum. We didn't feel like we got to see and do as much as we would have liked because we had to stick to the baby's schedule. We always said we'd like to go back when the baby is older so we could spend more time. This past week, our family was in Pigeon Forge for the week and of course we had to make a ...

I want my kids to see the beautiful world God has created. If we don't travel, or travel without our kids, they will have no idea of what's out there. They won't ...
Townsend / Great Smokies KOA {review}
It's that time of year when we're in full camping mode. We try to go at least once a month if not more. We love to visit state parks, but have especially taken a liking to Townsend / Great Smokies KOA. We've been to this campground many times and we leave saying it's one of our favorites! We just camped there last week for 4 nights and had a great time {as usual}. One of the premier campgrounds in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, the Townsend / Great Smokies KOA is surrounded by the ...
JORD Wood Watch {review & giveaway}
When you think of wood materials, you don't put it with fashion pieces. At least I don't. I think of home decor and building materials. Recently, wood has been used for fashion material. When I first heard of JORD / WoodWatches.com, I immediately had to check them out. The idea of a wooden watch really intrigued me. Then, I received an email from the team at Jord Watch to see if I would be interested in a review. Of course I said yes because I've heard nothing but good things about ...
