We found a spot in Nashville where you can smell fresh leather and espresso at the same time… while sipping a drink and customizing your own full-grain leather belt.

We stopped by Clayton & Crume on 12 South and honestly stayed longer than planned. It felt less like shopping and more like hanging out — great craftsmanship, great atmosphere, and a really fun experience overall.

Oscar loved the smell of the leather… though it apparently unlocked childhood memories of saying ā€œred leather yellow leatherā€ in speech therapy. šŸ˜‚

If you’re local (or visiting Nashville), this is one of those places that feels worth checking out.

Have you been to 12 South lately — or is this spot new to you? šŸ‘‡

Did I just run into one of the guys on this mural? Can’t be sure but I think that was John Crist.

Tennessee might officially be the new California šŸ”

When In-N-Out opened outside Nashville, we had to see if the hype actually holds up beyond the West Coast. So we went opening week and ordered everything — regular menu, secret menu, Animal Style fries, Flying Dutchmen… all of it — and narrowed it down to a top three.

Oscar ate a 4Ɨ4 and immediately started making questionable life decisions (including adding ā€œAnimal Styleā€ to his resume).

If you’ve had In-N-Out before — what’s your go-to order?

And if you haven’t… would you wait in line for it? šŸ‘‡

Universal Orlando just changed the theme-park game with EPIC UNIVERSE šŸŒšŸ”„

Four portals. Four completely different worlds. Unreal world-building, incredibly immersive design, next-level rides, and food that actually lives up to the hype. This isn’t just another park… it feels like stepping into four different realities in one place.

From Celestial Park to Super Nintendo World, Dark Universe, the Wizarding World’s Ministry of Magic, and How to Train Your Dragon’s Isle of Berk — Epic Universe raises the bar for theme parks everywhere.

Oscar says he went strictly ā€œfor research,ā€ but judging by how much he ate… it definitely turned into vacation mode. šŸŽ„šŸ”
If you’re planning a trip to Orlando, this needs to be on your list.

Have you been yet — or is it officially on your bucket list now? šŸ‘‡

ICE is officially back in Nashville ā„ļø

We went to the ICE! experience at Ga***rd Opryland — this year featuring A Charlie Brown Christmas — and it’s an entire winter world carved out of ice. Slides, sculptures, Snoopy, Charlie Brown… the whole thing.

Oscar rode the ice slide 83 times (yes, we counted) and yelled ā€œSnoopy is my spirit animal!ā€ on his final run like it was a personal mission.

If you’re looking for something fun (and very cold) to do in Nashville this holiday season, this one’s worth adding to the list.

Have you been to ICE! before? Or would you brave it? šŸ‘‡

This is the only restaurant that serves you world-class pizza inside a giant garage filled with custom vintage motorcycles.

Oscar was so enthralled by Moto Moda he vowed to never drive a car again… and immediately googled ā€œhow to apply to join Hell’s Angels.ā€

12/01/2025

Now there’s $100 I’ll never get back.

Before we even left the store, Oscar somehow bought Coachella presale tickets and booked an all-inclusive spiritual retreat in Tulum to ā€œfind inner peace.ā€

11/22/2025

I think I just got tricked into buying NFL season tickets.

Before I could even say ā€œGo Titans,ā€ Oscar had on two giant foam fingers, eye black, a beer-dispensing helmet, and a generic jersey that literally just said ā€œGo Team!ā€

I didn’t plan on adopting a dog today... But when you do yoga surrounded by Husky puppies, anything can happen.

Whether I brought one home or not, I’ll always feel like a dog dad at heart because Oscar has that dog in him.

Is this the last hidden beach town in California?

Locals are keeping it low-key for a reason.

Oscar was so committed to pretending he was a local, he started telling tourists random facts about the town like he’d been living there for years.
