The Heartland Journey - Southern Lifestyle Blog

Sharing the heart of Southern living — one story, one song, one sunny day at a time.

I’m Lauren — a country girl from Live Oak, Florida, where the cows outnumber the neighbors and sunsets are a nightly event. When I’m not chasing chores around our family farm, I’m chasing the next great song. I love bands like Florida Georgia Line, Thomas Rhett, and Luke Combs, and still think the best nights end with country music and muddy boots. The Heartland Journey is my little piece of the South — sunshine, stories, and a whole lot of heart. A little vogue trip we all take in this thing called life.
