Celebrating the fabulous city of Lexington, the great state of Kentucky, and Southern living
After about taking a two month hiatus, I decided to bring the “Things to Do in Lexington, Kentucky: The Week Of…” posts back. There are so many events going on in Lexington in a given week that it would be impossible to include them all, so I’ve handpicked the events and included the ones that I think everyone would enjoy the most! If I’ve missed any, just let me know and I’ll be sure to add them!
Summer is just about over, which means the weather is slowly becoming more and more bearable. What better time than now to enjoy the outdoors and the beauty of Lexington without all the yucky humid weather! There is so much to do in Lexington, especially in the downtown area. Some people may be bored or have trouble coming up with date activities that are out of the norm, or any at all, so I’ve come up with a list of things to do, places to eat, and places that will help you experience the city of Lexington, as well as…
Back in June, I worked with Shelby County Tourism to explore what all Shelby County had to offer. To be honest, I really hadn’t spent too much time in Shelby County, or even Shelbyville, except for the events that I’ve attended at Jeptha Creed.

If you look around wherever you live, whether it’s the city you live in or another state, you can find hidden gems where you may least expect it! For the “Shelby County Social Mixer & Travel Event” trip, they gathered a few bloggers/influencers to experience…
I’m a huge fan of Malone’s and the BHG (Bluegrass Hospitality Group) restaurants in general.

There is always such a comfort in going to Malone’s and we always have an enjoyable experience. Even though we would go quite often throughout the year, we would also use it as place to go for celebrations. As the years have gone by, we started switching it up to other restaurants for our celebrations of birthdays and our anniversary (but obviously still eating at Malone’s, because…
The fourth annual Lexington Burger Week has come to a close. We now have one week to rest and start preparing for Lexington Restaurant Week, which starts on July 26, 2018 and goes through August 4, 2018. Each year, Lexington Burger Week has become more and more successful. Regarding Lexington Burger Week: In 2015, over 36 restaurants participated and 21,000 burgers were sold. In 2016, over 36 restaurants participated in Lexington Burger Week and over 61,100 burgers were sold (that’s almost 300% growth!). In 2017, there were over 46 one-of-a-kind burgers being offered at 40+ restaurants, and there were over 110,000+…
