Nashville is growing at a record pace – and so is the art scene, including public art and murals. Local art organization Nashville Walls Project is creating tons of amazing murals around the city with the goal of “giving the exteriors of Music City a new look—one that adds to the vibrancy of a community…
Visiting friends and family ask me all the time where they should take their kids in Nashville – and if there is anywhere they can take their kids to hear music – it IS Music City after all! We love to take our young girls to outdoor concerts and events and occasionally we also like…
As a former High School English teacher and current bibliophile, lover of exploring new cities and raising 3 growing readers (my 11-year old is finally devouring Harry Potter this summer), I love discovering new (& old) bookstores.

We are in the midst of our family birthday season – all three of our girls have summer birthdays within a month of each other followed by my husband two weeks later, and then at the end of the summer, mine. Needless to say, summer is our season of cupcakes and candles and many, many…

We have several road trips planned this summer and I’ve found some tried and true activities for my girls to do in the car to keep them busy for long stints. We use a lot of these activities for long plane rides too. Now, don’t get me wrong, we also charge up the Ipads so…
We love to make a big family breakfast on the weekend, especially during the summer when we can eat outside on the porch and indulge in pancakes & eggs or bacon & biscuits. Recently, my dear friend – who grew up in Norway – sent us this Norwegian waffle recipe after she heard about our…
