One thing I've learned after living in Brentwood is this: if you really want to stay on top of the local events (and find out about them before they take place), then you pretty much have to seek out the information yourself. Unless you hang with the "in" crowds that plan and run most events in Brentwood, Tennessee then your best bet is to keep an eye on a few local online calendars. Here are some worth watching... Upcoming Events In Brentwood, TN Brentwood Area Events … [Read more...]
When you're driving around the Brentwood area (or if you're looking for a place to live in Brentwood, TN), it can get confusing as to what is actually in Brentwood and what is not. The boundaries (as seen on this map of Brentwood, TN) are a little strange and somewhat unclear, so it's easy to refer to something as being in Brentwood when it's really not. Here's a satellite view of Brentwood Tennessee on Google Maps. For assistance with this, I frequently refer to a comment we received … [Read more...]
Have you ever seen a Punk Rock Skunk or a Guitar Pickin' Chicken? Probably not. But if you attend a Farmer Jason concert, you will sing about both, along with many other animals. Farmer Jason makes living on a farm look downright fun! I attended a Farmer Jason concert on March 27 with my 2 year old, Lucy. It was held at the Belcourt Theater in downtown Nashville, TN, just off of 21st Avenue. Let me tell you, it is fun no matter how old you are! The show is simple in set up, but … [Read more...]
If you have never visited the Nashville Zoo at Grassmere, you are truly missing out. This zoo is more than just a few animal exhibits, it is an exciting place to run wild! My family became members after our first visit because we had so much fun. During the summer months in particular, there are few better places to take your children and I think that you will agree that the membership is worth the expense. The biggest draw for us was the zoo membership pricing. I have a family of … [Read more...]

Two of my friends recommended that I try Kid to Kid in Brentwood, a kid's consignment store. They said it's better than buying children's clothes at consignment sales. Consignment sales can be stressful. The advantage to consignment sales is the large amount of items to choose from. The disadvantage to consignment sales is the short time they are open (usually only 2 days twice a year), the large crowds, and the sense of urgency the shoppers feel to find that great deal before you … [Read more...]
Recently, I was tired of being cooped up inside from all the rain and decided to take my son out. We went for a couple hours of fun at Pump It Up in Brentwood. I had heard about it from another mom I met at The Monkey's Treehouse, another kids play place. Pump It Up is a place where kids can bounce, climb, and slide on giant inflatables. We went during Pre-K Open Play which is every weekday morning from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. for kids ages 2 to 6. If you were not looking specifically … [Read more...]
I was looking for something new to do with my 2-1/2 year old son on a weekly basis. We have a small weekly schedule we follow already, but wanted to add something different to it. After searching online for local things to do I found an article by Meredith here at The Fun Times Guide called Fun Things To Do With Kids In Cool Springs. The Storytime at Barnes and Noble in Brentwood appealed to me. (And it's free!) So I thought I would give it a try. … [Read more...]
