One of my favorite nights of the year is almost here. The annual Brentwood Luminary Night is scheduled for December 10th this year (always the second Saturday in December). On this night, most all of the subdivisions in Brentwood participate in this tradition that was started here in the 1980s.

This Saturday, December 3rd will be the 16th Annual Morning with Santa program at the Brentwood Library. This is a great way to spend a few hours on a Saturday - because it's free, fun and helps get us all in the Christmas spirit.

Now that the holiday season is coming up quickly, it's time to start planning your parties and dinner menus. For anyone who has a need to prepare gluten-free meals, this can be a difficult task.

I know from experience how overwhelming it can be to think of preparing a meal that is safe for those with a gluten intolerance as well as delicious for the rest of your guests. I have great news for you: the traditional Thanksgiving meal is easily converted to a gluten-free meal!

I am certain that having to call a plumber (or any other contractor) is one of the worst things to have to do. Not only are you taking time off work to meet them, it's also expensive and a little bit scary while you're waiting to find out what's wrong.
