If you are looking for an adventurous way to spend a beautiful Brentwood afternoon, try Letterboxing!

My family discovered letterboxing several years ago, and we were excited when we moved to the area to see what local letterboxes we could find here.

We had some friends in town and thought it might be a good way to show them Brentwood, so we chose 2 letterboxes to hunt down.

Like us, they have a high school child and younger kids as well; this is an activity that is fun for different ages. (It makes a great date activity, as well.)

My husband and I are always looking for fun date ideas that are a change from dinner and a movie (or in our case, walking around Target).

We were excited when some friends of ours invited us to take a ballroom dance class with them.

Our friends, Lisa and Wayne, have been taking lessons for awhile at National Dance Clubs, so they brought us to their lesson night.

It was a really fun evening out. Here are the highlights...

Pocketbooks are getting tighter as entertainment costs are going up.

This is leaving families extra creative as they try to find ways to have affordable fun.

As a relative newcomer to the Brentwood area, I've been thrilled with all the coupon books and half-off dining options that I have found.

There are lots of great discounts around that have allowed me to try some pretty great places in Brentwood.

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 would be high pressure and very expensive and full of runners who all seemed to know everything about running. Consequently, I expected to feel completely intimidated.

Instead, I think I not only found a great place to shop, with friendly workers and no-pressure help, I may have found my next pair of running shoes.

Recently I wrote an article about the Nolensville Feed Mill, a great place to visit.

My plan was to write about all the places to visit in Nolensville but I found that The Feed Mill was worth a whole story itself.

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...

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. Nevertheless, driving down Nolensville Road through the old part of Nolensville feels like a step back in time.

Fans of the Christian Music trio Point of Grace are in for a great evening when the group brings its Winter Wonderland Tour to Otter Creek Church Thursday, December 18th. 

The platinum award winning group is Tennessee based, so their new album with the remake of Amy Grant's Tennessee Christmas will be heartfelt.
