True story. I asked Brad when we were engaged over twenty years ago if he would write me a song and play it at our reception. And so he did. Wait til the end to see one of my very favorite pictures ever taken of us. No, Brad isn’t in the photo. But it is the very moment when I got his joke before anyone else and it makes me giggle to this day. Thanks @jimmyfallon #priceless @bradpaisley

When we launched @thestore_nashville, our long term goal was to do a Christmas Toy Store for kids and parents to have the same experience of shopping with dignity and choice, but in an extra-fun way. Seeing it happen was magical. The look on the faces of these kids was worth every bit of effort. Thanks to all who helped make this happen. Hopefully just the start!
Thinking of victims of gun violence today, especially in the latest school shooting in Iowa. Let’s do better in 2024, please?❤️🙏🏻#protectkidsnotguns #gunsafety

When I showed Jasper this coaster he laughed and said, it’s funny because you’re NOT older than Google. And I said, Yes I am! And he said, I know. I was joking. And now my head is 🤯🤯🤯 #teenagers #whatshappening #saturday
We’re so excited about our first inaugural Toy Store this weekend. We couldn’t have done it without the tremendous support of our community volunteers, donors from all over the country, and generous companies that sent toys, games, musical instruments, clothes, wrapping paper, and on and on. Our customers will have great choices when they shop for their families this season, adding to what we hope will be another moment of feeling dignified and loved. Thank you to The Store staff for working so hard to pull this together! #loveatthecore @thestore_nashville 🍎🍎
Cozy Rainy Day Stew! I made it up as I went along but basically:
S&P and sear a beef roast in olive oil on all sides, roughly chop 3 carrots, 3 celery, an onion, and 6-8 red potatoes. Dump all in a slow cooker and add more s&p and about a cup of beef broth. Cook all day on low while the rain comes down outside and the house smells yummy inside. Add chopped herbs (I did rosemary and thyme), frozen peas and some Worcestershire sauce toward the end. Cook a little longer to warm it all up and SERVE! Guys, it was really good. Any additions for next time?

Best thing getting me through this cold is this tissue box. This is #notanad just a fun thing I found online. Google “flying tissue box” for options. Also, what shows should I binge to pass the time? And #stayhealthy out there! #coldseason #sneezing #godblessyou #happyholidays #fridaynight #weeee ❤️❤️
Spent quality time with a capybara today at the @santabarbarazoo #capybara #lworldslargestrodent ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😁😁😁
Kate and I became fast friends last week. She experienced a beautiful, terrible time at our house, when we offered her our snake Marshmallow to hold. She admitted she’d been bitten by a venomous snake just recently. She’s not a particular fan of snakes nor was she inclined to buddy up to our pet. But Kate has been brave many times in her life, and she is practiced in acknowledging what is beautiful and terrible in a single moment. So she went for it anyway. The upshot? It surprised her that he was soft in the middle. Kate’s NYT bestselling book is the balm we need right now. Go buy a copy. She gets us. Also Marshmallow loves her. 🐍#ashwednesday @katecbowler @convergent_books @penguinrandomhouse
