About the host
Hosted by Rick & Tiffany Higgins
We moved back to Nashville a few years ago, after living in LA off and on the past 25 years to come back and slow down and spend more time in community service helping families.(#bestlifeever) We have three amazing son's and two daughter in-laws that are angels.
We have a small farm south of town, (fresh farm eggs ...yum, ) We enjoy traveling all over the globe. We really love being in Nashville, and also spend time in our Destin beach house part of the year, it’s a little bit of everything and we are happy calling this home.......
