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...]

Consignment season is quickly upon us. If you live in Brentwood, you might already be familiar with two of the finest consignment sales in the area. In case you're not familiar with consignment sales, they are sales held (usually in the spring and fall) where you can either shop for incredible deals on gently-used children's items or bring your gently-used children's toys, clothing, and gear to sell. Generally speaking, most sales run anywhere from 2 days to a week. The last day is … [Read more...]
Each January, I start a running program that helps me train for a half marathon. I've always been told one of the most important things a runner can do is to buy a great pair of running shoes. Being a bit of a cheapskate and not really considering myself a "real runner" has always left me buying a cheap pair of Adidas from Kohls. Recently, I wanted to test out the theory that great running shoes are critical, so I decided to visit my local Brentwood Fleet Feet. I expected the store … [Read more...]
With the tightening of the economy, I was interested in getting a better rate on my auto insurance. I had been told that you can often call your agent, ask for a better rate, and you get a cheaper rate. Going on this theory, I called up my big-name insurance agent and asked for a lower rate. She really was trying to be helpful, but on our 3 auto policies, she was only able to skim off about $6. Thinking about recent TV commercials, I decided to let Progressive give me their rate and … [Read more...]
Recently I wrote an article about the Nolensville Feed Mill, a great place to visit.

However, I didn't want you to miss some of the other places in town that make a visit to Nolensville a fun way to spend an afternoon. In addition to the Feed Mill, Nolensville has some other great places to stop in and browse... … [Read more...]
Just a few short minutes from Brentwood is the sweet little town, Nolensville, which offers a fun afternoon of shopping and treasure hunting. I've driven past the Nolensville Feed Mill several times and wanted to go in. Recently, my daughter and I decided to make an afternoon of browsing the Feed Mill and other Nolensville shops. Nolensville is a small town in the middle of some beautiful farm land. In the last several years subdivisions have moved in and Nolensville has grown quickly. … [Read more...]

I love the great clothes I get from children's consignment sales, but I usually don't enjoy shopping them: pushy moms overpriced Walmart brands picked over presale merchandise I didn't have high hopes when I stopped by Brentwood's Otter Creek Church for the fall/winter sale. Now I think Otter Creek's consignment sale is one of the best in Nashville. Here's why.... … [Read more...]
