If your child doesn't find the right fit in Williamson Co. public schools, there are many great private schools nearby.

Here's a quick list of Brentwood, TN's top private schools:

Here is a guide to the best places to buy great maternity clothes in the Nashville area, from Green Hills to Cool Springs.

We love discovering fun places to go in (and around) Brentwood, TN.

Sharing my finds is equally fun, so I didn't expect this ethical challenge:

Should I tell you about Nashville's best swimming beach,
or should I keep Percy Priest Lake's Anderson Road Recreation Area all to myself?

Are you buying school uniform clothing for Metro Nashville Public Schools? Interpreting Nashville's school attire guidelines is trickier than I thought it would be!

This week, I took the kids on our annual Easter pilgrimage to Phillips Toy Mart. Not to study the Erector sets or Breyer horses, though...
