Jessica Simpson says she was ‘happy’ and ‘laughed a lot’ as she spent her summer in Nashville working on new music
Jessica Simpson’s summer vacation helped her reset and make some decisions about her future.
The 43-year-old, who says she wants the public to stop scrutinizing her weight, revealed that she and her family enjoyed their vacation in Nashville, Tennessee.
It was a welcome relief for everyone to be in Music City with her husband, Eric Johnson, 43, and their children Maxwell, 11, Ace, 10, and Birdie, four.
“When I’m in Nashville, even my kids say, ‘You smile all the time.’ You are so happy,” she said E! News at a PetSafe event in honor of National Dog Day Saturday.
Jessica attended the festivities with Maxwell and their dog Penny.

“It’s because I’m off guard,” Jessica explained of her experience in the city that bills itself as “the greatest little town in the world.”
“I have a lot of like-minded people,” Jessica claimed.
“It’s not about the celebrities, it’s really about the music, the heart and the conversation.”
The focus on music makes the Irresistible singer consider returning to the recording studio.
“I’m not nervous at all, but if you asked me two years ago when I talked about returning to music, I was scared,” the Dukes of Hazzard star admitted.
“But now I know exactly what I want.”
That appears to be returning to the company on its own terms.
‘I’m building my own platform.’ she explained.

Selfie: Jessica shared a selfie of herself at a Walgreens in Nashville, next to a display featuring her photo. “Look who I found late last night at Walgreens looking for a screwdriver,” she wrote
“I’m doing it for the first time – like I would – without a label telling me to do this song or use this producer. I am it all.’
The Be artist revealed that she learned to make ends meet while living in her rental home.
“I used thumbtacks to hang these $40 curtains so the sun wouldn’t wake me up,” the handywoman said.
‘I put together a TV with a butter knife. I was looking for a screwdriver, but I went to the wrong place. I went to Walgreens and got lip gloss instead.”
