Over the last year I’ve had the opportunity to stay at two fabulous properties in Austin – Lake Austin Spa and the Commodore Perry. Since our travel content is so popular, I’ve been looking forward to sharing my thoughts on both, especially since we have so many Texans in the Mrs. Southern Social community! IContinue reading “Lake Austin Spa & The Commodore Perry”

Glamping in the Smokies
I recently lived out my “Troop Beverly Hills” fantasy at the base of the Smoky Mountains and had THE BEST time with Paul and the kids. Lat month, we planned a very last-minute family getaway to the Under Canvas “glamping” resort in East Tennessee. Y’all – Phyllis Nefler would thrive here. Under Canvas offers aContinue reading “Glamping in the Smokies”
Destination Delegation: Savannah
In mid-June, Georgia and I headed to Savannah with some other moms and daughters for the girls’ national dance competition. The trip came at a busy time and to be perfectly honest, I wasn’t ecstatic about it, but we ended up having THE BEST week. I absolutely fell in love with Savannah – all theContinue reading “Destination Delegation: Savannah”

“Notes” on SoundWaves (get it?) – Georgia’s 9th Birthday

Destination Delegation: NASHVILLE
OK, y’all – this is my second Nashville guide in as many years because this city keeps growing! I can barely keep up with it all, but I really do think this updated list has something for everyone.

Stylist extraordinaire Carson Love is my fairy godmother of fashion (read our previous Q&A here), and one of my favorite services she offers is packing clients for trips. We’re lucky enough to be heading out of town for July 4th, and Carson swung by last week to help me pull clothes and get organized. I’mContinue reading “Carson’s 10 Commandments: Packing Tips and Strategies”

Alright friends, some of this is a repeat from my previous “luggage post,” but now that I’ve officially used all these pieces, I wanted to update my list and revisit a few things.
