I know this is the post everyone has been waiting for – What did the girls do during their time in Music City? If you were following along in December, you probably remember the 12 Days of Landyn – for the last day we gave an all inclusive trip to Nashville, filled with all of my favorite things! I wanted to break down their itinerary with you in case you’re planning a trip out here soon. Natalie brought her dear friend Libbiey + they are from Albuquerque New Mexico – what a treat!
