Before I get into this amazing trip… comment ESCAPE and I’ll send you the direct link to book.

Ryan and I went into this trip on an already-short week, both of us thinking, Okay, this will be nice…but I’m definitely going to need to open my computer. And somehow, in just 48 hours, we squeezed in more actual R&R than I can remember getting on a trip in a very long time.

A HUGE part of that? We added the food package. f you’re a foodie and want to bring steaks and cook on the outdoor grill, absolutely do it. But us? We did not want to think.  We walked in and the fridge was stocked with a pizza kit, fettuccine Alfredo, frozen lunches, cinnamon buns and quite possibly the best quiche I’ve had in a while. Not having to grocery shop, meal plan or figure out where we were eating was honestly a game changer for us.

And the rest…
The views: 10/10
The bed: 10/10
The aesthetic: 10/10
The s’mores kit: 10/10 (felt like a kid again)
The outdoor shower: 10/10 (we have never been cleaner)
Two hours door-to-door from Nashville: 10/10

We stayed in the ARHAUS Treehouse, designed with ARHAUS, and it may genuinely be one of the most inspiring spaces I’ve ever stayed in. Every piece feels unique and special, and I left wanting to steal about 47 ideas for our own lake house.

We met people who had come all the way from New Jersey just to experience Bolt Farm, and after 48 hours there, I completely understand why. We arrived thinking about work. We left rested, inspired and already talking about when we could come back.

Use code KORTNEY when you book and you’ll get free access to the new Wellness Haven during your stay.

And Ryan, I love you. I will always remember this little escape we got to have together. 🤍

This summer was made up of the good things. Less travel, fewer plans, more of the little stuff.

I didn’t need a big summer. I think I needed this one.

Last night, at the tail end of a long week, I was looking pretty rough and feeling even rougher. But alas… it was senior photo night. (Senior shoot? Whatever we call it, somehow we are HERE. 😭)

So we drove out to a farm outside Nashville to take pictures of my girl.

Let me tell you a little something about Lennox.

Adopted at birth, she came into this world with a unique story. And over the last few years, that story has had its share of twists and turns, highs and lows, and things I wish her heart had never had to carry.

But somehow, through all of it, her light shines.

And it’s not just her mother saying that.

When this girl smiles, people literally stop and say, “Oh my God, your smile.” If I’ve heard it once, I’ve heard it a hundred times. She lights up a room without even knowing she’s doing it.

I was already in bed when Kathy Thomas - Your Favorite Photographer texted me: “Do NOT fall asleep. And grab the tissues.”

Then she sent me the first photo.

She had hundreds to choose from, but she told me this one jumped off the page.

And I immediately understood why.

Because somehow, in one photograph, she captured Lennox. The light. The love. The joy. The softness. All of it.

But maybe my favorite moment happened earlier

Lenny and I were sitting at the kitchen table eating burritos, scrolling through the hundreds of behind-the-scenes pictures I’d taken, when I heard her say:

“Oh my goodness. That’s SO beautiful.”

I leaned over to see which picture of herself she was looking at.

She wasn’t.

It was a picture of the two of us.

And honestly, that may tell you more about Lennox than anything I could ever write.

So here’s a little collection from a night I know I’ll want to remember forever.

Senior year. My girl. That smile. That light.

And one very grateful mama who isn’t quite sure how we got here so fast. ❤️

And Kathy Thomas… thank you for loving my girl, for seeing her the way I see her, and somehow capturing all that light in a photograph. What a gift. ❤️

I was hoping it was hormonal. Turns out the brain fog, exhaustion, forgetfulness, etc. might just be my personality now lol.

There are people you admire for what they accomplish, and then there are people you admire for how they move through the world. Dolly was both.

As a young woman who came to Nashville chasing music, I looked up to Dolly Parton long before I understood just how extraordinary she really was. And as I grew older, built businesses, raised a family, and found my own way as a woman in industries that don’t always make it easy for us, I somehow admired her even more.

She was brilliant without needing to prove she was the smartest person in the room. Savvy without losing her softness. Strong without hardening. She built an empire, gave enormously, laughed at herself, stayed unmistakably herself, and somehow managed to belong to everyone without ever becoming anyone other than Dolly.

That is a rare kind of power.

I have a few personal Dolly stories that I will hold especially close today, little moments that made someone larger than life feel wonderfully human. I’m so grateful I have them.

Today we lost an icon. But it feels almost impossible to speak about Dolly in the past tense, because women like her don’t really leave.

They live in the doors they opened, the people they lifted, the songs we know by heart, the children who learned to read because she cared, and every woman who watched her take up space in this world without ever asking permission to do it.

There will never be another Dolly.

And while heaven may have gained her today, she made damn sure she left enough of herself down here to last us forever.

Rest easy, Dolly. You earned your place, and then some

You blink and suddenly college drop-off goes from “please don’t leave me” to “PLEASE leave.”

Over the years, I’ve found myself in more painful conversations than I can count trying to explain systemic racism.

Sometimes it’s been in response to comments made about my daughter. Sometimes about my friends. And sometimes, hell, just in general, because apparently I can’t help myself. When I hear something that comes from a lack of understanding, I want to educate. I want people to get it.

But I don’t think I’ve ever heard systemic racism explained as simply, clearly and digestibly as this woman does here.

So give her a listen.

And then maybe share it. Save it. Use it the next time you find yourself trying to explain something that can feel incredibly complicated to someone who genuinely wants to understand.

Because sometimes education isn’t about saying more. It’s about finally hearing it said in a way that clicks.

This is worth your time. 🤎
