Born and raised in Illinois (no, not Chicago!), Kayla moved to Nashville in 2011. Even though she's still a country girl at heart, she loves Nashville and all it has to offer. Kayla and her husband, Tony, just welcomed their first baby in January. After working with special needs students in a Nashville public school for 2 1/2 years, she is so excited to now be a stay-at-home mom and take their son, Caysen, out and about to discover everything Nashville has for young families. You can get your baby picture fix by following Kayla on twitter (@C_F_Hippie) and instagram (countryfriedhippie) and learn way too much about her day to day life on her blog Country Fried Hippie.
