This little angel was ALL smiles when I (a stranger!) stepped inside her home a few weeks ago. From start to finish, she was the happiest, most content 6 month old I've ever photographed. Thank you, little one, for your welcoming spirit and contagious smile.
SO MUCH LOVE FOR BISCUIT LOVE
Some dear friends recently came to Nashville for a weekend visit. At their suggestion, I met them for Sunday brunch at Nashville's newest breakfast jewel, Biscuit Love. Born out of a food truck, Biscuit Love restaurant capitalizes on what I cherish as the Southern-most breakfast staple, the biscuit. It is here that the biscuit is more than just an ordinary side biscuit. It is drizzled with warm, smooth, in-house maple syrup in an original take on traditional French Toast ("The Lily"), it is paired up with hot chicken for a sweet & spicy spin on the chicken biscuit ("The Princess"), and it is the foundational layer for locally-sourced sausage & gravy ("Biscuit and Sausage Gravy").
Wondering where to brunch this weekend? Head on over to Biscuit Love where you'll find a soul- comforting, palate-pleasing, make-you-smile-from-ear-to-ear brunch. (And for all you GF brunchers, there are many items suitable for you too; you will not leave hungry!)
For the love of biscuits, and Biscuit Love,
Rachel

I took a walk today
Here's what I saw:
I had high ambitions of taking pictures at Cheekwood Botanical Gardens. Just as I walked up, a grounds manager was shoveling snow and informed me that Cheekwood was closed for public safety reasons. He was not the least amused when I begged him to let me snap "just one" photo (the above image). After I took this, he promptly nodded me to leave and then immediately shut the gate. Cold weather has a way of making us all less accommodating to the wishes of others, I suppose.
The beautiful entrance gate to Cheekwood
Percy Warner golf course. There's something so fun about making the first footprints on an undisturbed blanket of snow.
(obligatory shoes-in-the-snow picture)
I've spent many many hours in Percy Warner Park, but today was the first time I visited it in the snow.
A jogger passed me just after I took this. These stairs are difficult enough to jog up without the snow; I can only imagine how challenging they are with multiple layers of ice and snow!
Cold temperatures don't keep her from flying strong!
Blue sky peeped through just as I was leaving the park. Although it was a beautiful snowfall, I won't be sad to see Spring soon replace it!
