In just a couple of weeks, 800 mamas will be headed to beautiful Nashville, Tennessee for the first National Wild + Free Conference! I am so excited to be a part of this community and thankful for the opportunity to meet so many incredible women! If you will be attending this year, I hope I get a chance to meet you, and least give you a hug! We're going to have so much fun!
Living in Indianapolis has given us the chance to visit Nashville a few times. It's a beautiful city, full of legendary country music venues such as the Grand Ole Opry House, Country Music Hall of Fame, the historic Ryman Theater and many more. But if you're looking for something beyond honky tonkin'... Nashville is chock- full of good places to eat and shop, so I've put together a list of some of my favorite places to eat! (Some are also recommendations from friends that we have yet to try... but these trustworthy friends wouldn't lead a food-lovin' Mama astray.)

We've never had a chance to try Hot Chicken, but I hear it's a must! Ask any of the locals. We can never think beyond tacos. Also, Pinewood Social is an amazing place to get good eats, go bowling,and hang... but its hard to get a lane unless you made reservations in 1999.
Now for the most important part of adventuring in Nashville:
DONUTS AND COFFEE:
* Five Daughters Bakery is an absolute must! (One located inside The Factory)

*Three Brothers Coffee: https://threebroscoffee.com
*Crema: https://crema-coffee.com

*Dose: http://dosenashville.com
Definitely check out The Soda Parlor for fun drinks, delicious waffles, and free arcade games! http://thesodaparlor.com
If you are limited on time, simply head to 12South! It's really the best one-stop destination for eats, drinks, and shops!! Also, plenty of instagram worthy walls!
Hopefully I'll be seeing you soon! I'll be the one with a Five Daughter's Bakery cronut in my mouth!
