Behind the blog

Hi, I’m Rachael

I’m so glad you’re here!

I’m Rachael, a married mom of two living in the foothills of the Tennessee mountains with my best friend and husband, Andrew, our two girls, and our golden retriever Hank.

We have spent the past few years planting our roots, starting with purchasing some land and building our handcrafted log home. Its been quite the adventure to say the least!
