It seems like everyone and their brother is moving to Nashville, TN. It’s easy to see why, since it’s Music City, there is so much to do, the mild climate, no state income taxes, lots of land to build, low property taxes, low cost of living, steady job market, really good food and music scene, and good ol’ Southern charm.

We moved to Nashville more than 8 years ago, and haven’t looked back since. We absolutely love it here. Growing up in Chicago, I never thought I would leave as an adult, but opportunity knocked and now almost my whole family lives here. Tennessee is one of those places where you just feel at home immediately. People hold the door for you. They call a shopping cart “buggy,” you wave to people walking by, there’s an instant sense of community, and almost everyone you meet is NOT from here. We have neighbors from California, New Jersey, Illinois, Texas, Ohio, Minnesota, and that’s all on our block. You will find that when you meet people in Nashville, the first question you ask is, “Where are you from?”

So that should tell you the amount of movement here in Nashville. We were all given the opportunity to move here. It’s such a fast paced seller’s market that people from across the country will buy a house without even ever seeing it. Could you do that? I don’t know if I could, honestly, before living here. But now that I do live here, I can tell you it’s one of the best places to live.



Here are some of our favorite places to explore:

Nashville Zoo at Grassmere – all year long, there are such cool animal exhibits. My favorite thing is being able to pet the kangaroos.

Cheekwood Botanical Gardens – colorful gardens and greenery, this destination is beautiful year round with events every month. https://cheekwood.org/explore/gardens/

Percy Warner Park – larger than 3,100 acres of forest and fields, just 9 miles from downtown, spend the day hiking, biking, having a picnic, play with Fido at the dog park, golf on 2 different courses, going horseback riding and more.

The Gulch – Nashville’s Premier Urban Neighborhood between Music Row and Downtown

Shelby Park – a large urban park located approximately three miles east of downtown Nashville along the Cumberland River. The park includes playgrounds, a dog park, baseball fields, two golf courses, and a community center.

Percy Priest Lake – Campgrounds, Marinas, Boat Ramps, Picnic Areas, Fishing, Lake Access Areas, Recreation Areas

Old Hickory Lake –  With over 22,000 acres of water and 440 miles of shoreline, Old Hickory offers plenty of hiking, fishing, boating, skiing and other lake activities.

Hillsboro Village – Conveniently located near Vanderbilt and Belmont University, Hillsboro Village is a collection of shops, boutiques, and restaurants.

Main St. in Franklin – Stroll down Franklin’s award-winning historic Main Street to enjoy shopping, local restaurants, antiques, and more!

Gaylord Opryland – With its soaring atriums, nearly 20 restaurants and bars, shopping and entertainment, Gaylord Opryland isn’t just a place to stay, it is an experience…you really have to see it to believe it.


SHOPPING:

Cool Springs Mall

Green Hills Mall

Opry Mills


These are just SOME of the fun things in Nashville. It’s easy to see why people love it, right?

Did you know about 80 people move to Nashville every day? Crazy, right? Music City really has something that is hard to beat.

With all the people moving here, it’s no surprise the housing market is on fire right now. Along with the current economy, pandemic and opportunities because of the increased number of remote jobs, this naturally forced us all to re-evaluate our lives and figure out what we really want to do with our time and make the best of it.

In that regard, I am SO thankful we moved here when we did. House values have gone up considerably and still rising. With everyone re-evaluating their living situation, it’s super important to make the best decision for yourself, your family, your business, etc. And I want to help shed some light on one key component of starting over in a new town. And that is HOW are you going to get here with all your stuff and actually make the move as painless and efficient as possible.

Meet Jackie

Hello! I'm a wife, mom of 2 boys, coffee and wine lover who lives in the Nashville, TN area. After growing up in Chicago and moving to St. Louis for 6 years, we decided that Music City was our new home! I have a neurological illness, called CIDP, that has turned my life upside down, and I have created this blog to have a little spot on the internet to share with you my life as a busy mama who loves to shop, eat, drink & be merry! So grab a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, and enjoy your time with me here at One Top Knot Mama. Cheers, friend!

The only somewhat cute picture I have taken this s The only somewhat cute picture I have taken this summer where sweat isn't dripping from my face or I look like a troll under a bridge. It was a busy summer. I took time away from my blog & socials to fill my cup☕️. 

Going forward, I hope to still be active here on IG, but know I need time away from scrolling. I am not a fashionista. I am a shorts & tee girl, messy bun, my hair is mostly dry shampoo by the time Friday rolls around. I don't wear fake nails or eyelashes. It's just not me. 

The mental mind f*ck that is social media tried to get me to be someone I am not. I am finding that I enjoy writing on my blog more. Creating printables, worksheets, checklists, gift guides etc than posing in outfits I buy specifically for content that I don't even feel comfortable in. 

There are better women than me on here that do a great job of this, and I get huge doses of imposter syndrome. I was spiralling. Never feeling good enough. And that just isn't healthy.

I also don't want to be tone deaf. I know our country is in crisis right now, thanks to our so-called "leaders." If you support our current administration, please just unfollow me now. I know families are struggling to put food on the table. I know parents are choosing between paying the bills or medicine. Kids are watching as their parents are dragged away by masked men. And the list goes on and on. 

I just don't have it in me anymore. I'm exhausted. And my kids need me now more than ever as we are navigating 4th & 7th grades. So if you're still here, thank you. Please check out my blog, sign up for my emails because I am very more active there!

My goal is to continue to spread positivity and relatable content to other moms, resources to help you in everyday life, and to use my space as a creative outlet to fill my cup up. 

I appreciate you all. Here is a recommendation if you're in the Nashville area, try @brunchcollectivetn for some amazing coffee, food and atmosphere!

Happy September, talk soon.
