Cascades-Walkway

The Opryland Hotel is a must see -- especially if you are visiting the Nashville area for the first time. It was on my "to do" list when I first moved to Nashville in March of 2010. Unfortunately, due to record setting flooding that May, we had to postpone our visit until the hotel was restored. We had some friends come into town recently, and they stayed at the Opryland Hotel. They invited us over as guests. It was an invitation I happily accepted!   … [Read more...]

Shopping For Windows Or Doors In Nashville?… We Had The Best Experience With These 5 Companies

When we were shopping for doors and windows while planning for our new log home, one of the biggest hurdles was finding the right windows and doors. First of all, there are so many choices and styles to choose from (which, alone, wasn't the most difficult part). The worst part was finding reputable dealers to call me back with quotes. I ended up contacting about a dozen different window & door companies -- most in person; a few by telephone. Unfortunately, most simply would not get back to … [Read more...]

Kids Need A Haircut? We Like Sweet & Sassy Salon For Kids In Cool Springs

Although Sweet and Sassy is a very girly place, they also do little boy haircuts too. I actually called the salon and asked.UPDATE: Today, it's called Divas & Dudes - The Family Salon. The first time I took my son, I scanned the salon and saw plenty of other boys too.

Precious Prints – A Fun & Easy Way To Preserve Your Child’s Hand Prints And Foot Prints

Have you ever tried to make a handprint or footprint of your little one? I have and it's not easy. First of all, they do not hold still well. When I tried to do my son's hand, he wouldn't keep it flat on the surface of the clay and kept gouging into it in an attempt to scoop it up. I did not get the hand print. His footprint was easier, but not a job well done by mom. I thought I would give it a try since I received 3 hand/foot print kits for my baby shower. But after messing up 2 of the … [Read more...]
