If packing is what you want to call it. It’s more me running around the house like a tornado, stressing and actin a fool while throwing whatever I can think of in my bag. So, you can probably guess who isn’t packed for a weekend in Gatlingburg. *hand raised* Did I mention we are leaving in an hour?

This past Sunday our church hosted The Sass, Class & Compassion Tour with Mandy Hale {The Single Woman} and Jaime Jamgochian {Modest is Hottest}.

This past weekend we finally had a semi-free Saturday because Cory’s work schedule got shifted around last minute so we decided to take advantage of it and headed on down to IKEA. We are about an hour and 1/2 to two hours away from Atlanta depending on how fast you drive how bad traffic is but thankfully it wasn’t too bad (or Mr. Sloan was driving really fast).
