I'm a wife, mom of 4, and resident of Brentwood, Tennessee. I love finding fun new things for my family to see and do in Brentwood and the Nashville area!

Christian pop star Jaci Velasquez will perform with her husband Nic Gonzales of Salvador at a free concert in Brentwood, Tennessee. Fellowship Bible Church on Franklin Rd. hosts the event, which will raise money to help tornado victims in Tennessee.

If you are looking for fun things to do during spring, Brentwood has lots of fun places to get outside in this beautiful spring weather! From canoeing the Harpeth to buying spring plants to hiking Brentwood's greenway trails, we have links to detailed information on all these spring activities and more!

I'm trying to find a good Chinese restaurant near Brentwood Tennessee. I've tried takeout at Nipper's Corner and Ming's Chinese Buffet on Mallory Lane. Do you recommend Pei Wei or PF Changs? Are there any good Chinese restaurants in Maryland Farms? Help!

Looking for a fun Mexican restaurant near Brentwood? We tried the Mexicali Grill off Carothers Pkwy. in Cool Springs. Great service and upbeat live music made our night out fun! I have menus and directions to Mexicali Grill in Franklin for your convenience.

We know how you can contact Brentwood's Melinda Doolittle. Call in live to Melinda's new live radio show and ask her all kinds of questions. We have all three of Melinda Doolittle's episodes so far, including an hour-and-a-half of fan questions and information about her new CD My Funny Valentine, which will be available on iTunes February 12.

When tornadoes rip through Tennessee, people start worrying. Will homeowner's insurance cover the storm damage? Tennessee Farm Bureau insures our Brentwood home. We chose Tennessee Farm Bureau for this and our last 3 homes because they gave prompt and fair payment to homeowners in east Nashville after the devastating tornado.

Did you know that Ash Wednesday (and Easter) is extra early in 2008? Ash Wednesday is February 6, 2008. Easter is March 23, 2008. I have the times for Ash Wednesday Mass at Brentwood's Catholic churches, Holy Family and St. Matthew, as well as links to other Brentwood churches which may observe Lent.

I bought some beautiful blueberries on sale at the Fresh Market in Brentwood Tennessee. Here's my best recipe for blueberry muffins, along with a recipe NOT to use. The Puffy Muffin in Brentwood bakes the best blueberry muffins you can buy, but the recipe that's listed in the Puffy Muffin cookbook is not the same recipe that the store uses. I tested it. If you don't want to buy your blueberries at Fresh Market, I'll tell you where I'm going to pick blueberries in Williamson Co. this year. The Golden Bell Farm is a pick-your-own blueberry place near Brentwood, on Clovercroft Rd. between Cool Springs and Hwy. 96.

With the break-in at the Davidson Co, TN election commission office and my purse being stolen from Brentwood, TN, I'm more than a little worried about identity theft. Fellow Brentwood resident Dave Ramsey gives warning signs that you might have had your identity stolen. I investigated how to prevent identity theft, placed a fraud alert with the three major credit reporting agencies, and purchased a one-year plan with the Dave Ramsey-endorsed Zander Insurance group.
