The Nashvillian
Happy Saturday everyone! This weekend I'm introducing you to a fabulous lady by the name of Ashley, she blogs over at The Nashvillian and she is wonderful! Be sure to check her out and show her some love.
The Nashvillian
What motivated you to start blogging?
I first started blogging in high school. Back then (over 10 years ago), my blog was more of a personal diary (anyone remember Xanga?) broadcast over the world wide web – probably a little too personal. It was pretty embarrassing, honestly. I mean, I had comments from classmates about things I probably shouldn’t have been sharing with the world – whyyy didn’t I know better in high school?! I took about an eight year hiatus from blogging until recently, when I developed an interest in photography (you can thank Instagram for that one!). Although I had NO idea how to use a DSLR, I decided I wanted NEEDED one. So, I got myself a camera and thought I would start a photography blog where I would document my growth and struggles of learning how to use this foreign-to-me contraption. That blog became rather boring and uninspiring to me very fast. I wanted to write about the things I LOVE. About the things that INSPIRE me. About the things that make me ME. And that’s how The Nashvillian was born. It’s where the two extremes of my blogging past collide – it’s a little bit of a diary and a way for me to learn and showcase my photography without totally boring myself. Win – Win.
What kind of blogger would you consider yourself to be? Lifestyle - I mostly blog about life, food, fashion, and fun.

When you're not blogging, what other things do you like to get into?
I work full time in the music industry, so I spend quite a bit of time going to shows. I’m also OBSESSED with movies – like, watch-a-movie-every-night kind of obsessed (I often share suggestions on the blog). Cooking, reading, and loving on my two precious furry dog children are some of my other favorite past-times.
Share some of your most favorite posts with us and tell us why they're your favorite.
Kids Say The Darndest Things - Over the past seven years, I’ve kept a list of some of the funniest things kids have ever said to me while I was babysitting. Every time I read the list, I find myself laughing hysterically.
This Is Not My Honeymoon (Part One) and This Is Not My Honeymoon (Part Two) - My husband and I took a trip to Cincinnati the weekend after our wedding…to attend a baseball game. Even though it was our first trip together as a married couple, I refused to call it our honeymoon. We actually ended up having the BEST time and ate at some of the most amazing restaurants we’ve ever experienced!
Sunset Safari - this is my absolute favorite event of the year – incredible food and the opportunity to get up close and personal with zoo animals! What more could you want in life?!
Best Day Ever: Wedding Ceremony and Best Day Ever: Wedding Accessories - Because I want to relive my wedding day every day! :)
Give us something that's made you laugh recently.
