My New Favorite Spotify Station

December 31, 2020 by Rebecca Leave a Comment

I added one of the songs from this station to “My Happy Song of the Day” over to the right on the homepage. Madeleine Peyroux is one of my absolutely favorites. But if you have Spotify, listen to the Norah Jones station- just go. Right now. And then dance with your person in the kitchen. Norah Jones is a big part of me and Blake’s (20 year) history. We have danced to her for a long time. And now we dance with our girls in the kitchen. Every.single.song.of.this.station.is.stunning. Close out this year with your family, lots of love and some slow dancing to beautiful music. Happy New Year, loves.

I'm a mama living in Nashville with my man, my two little darlins, my pup, and two bunnies. You can find us working on our 1940 home, renovating our Airstream, swimming in our pool, eating tacos + dancing in the living room. I'm a lover of creating, exploring, traveling + driving down the open road to Paul Simon. Pilates is my therapy, iced coffee and tea run through my blood and I live for trying all the new restaurants in town. I spent years as a wardrobe and prop stylist but have found my purpose in motherhood.

@getawayhouse was perfect for two days away of pure family time! It was just the right level of camping/glamming for us. Two queen bunks, stocked kitchen for making dinners, bathroom with toilet + shower all set in remote and private woods with a fire pit, picnic table and chairs.

We celebrated Tessa’s 5th birthday and really just soaked up being together the 4 of us. Slowing down, being in the moment and forgetting the outside world for a bit. Cherished family time and it really felt like a “getaway”. Puzzles, games, fires, meals outside, the girls foraging for leaves to make our table pretty, exploring the little town close by. Apple donuts, meals made by the fire, little hikes on the nature trails, crisp mornings. Doesn’t get any better!

We’re in Nashville so the closest Getaway House to us was in Moss, TN- two hours away. There are campgrounds with these houses all over the country though- look up which one is close to you! Celina is the closest town, about 15 minutes, and had a couple cute antique shops, a coffee shop and a great pizza place (the cafe in town that was listed as a recommendation had permanently closed).

We LOVED waking up to the big windows and feeling like we were immersed in nature. They have several add-ons too like a s’mores kit, campfire kit, provisions kit, etc. and it was nice to have neighbors but still have our campground be completely private. They’ve thought of everything.

Couldn’t recommend @getawayhouse more!

A sentimental flashback of one of my favorite three days in all of life. The four of us, my soul bunnies, my guy. My family. One of my favorite parts of the country. This tiny house @thehollerhouse in Murphy, NC was a dream. Just outside Blue Ridge, GA and not too far from the Cherokee area in NC.

We were off the grid. We played all the games. We danced. We laughed. We soaked in the tub. We walked. We explored. No agenda, no time. Just being.

Highly recommend bunking up with your family in a tiny space every now and then. Wake up in the same room. Say yes to all the things. Collect treasures. Swing. Be silly. Dance in the rain.

Do the alpaca tour in Murphy. Go to the breweries in Blue Ridge. Go see the chimpanzees at @projectchimps- hike here too. And stop at @mercierorchards for the best peaches.

We’re about to do it again for fall break, this time at @getawayhouse!

Go to this event if you can! @waterlanternfestival - it’s all over the US. It was so well done. Beautiful, magical, spiritual, powerful. Such a sense of community and hope. A night to remember.

Your ticket gets you a water lantern to build and decorate. There were also food trucks, stories told, a collective meditation, positive affirmations all through out.

And then when the sun goes down, everyone sets their water lantern in the water and watches as they float slowly by. People wrote tributes, wishes, love notes, intentions, inspiration, hope. It was truly magical to watch all the twinkling lights + read so many beautiful words and so special to do it with my mom and my girls.

The festival is also partnered with water.org which helps people get clean, safe water.

One of my favorite events I’ve been to- highly recommend going to their profile and seeing if it’s coming to your city soon.
✨✨✨
