Father’s Day is coming. Although I love the fathers in my life dearly, it seems all of them either have everything they want, have no room for anything else, or are straight up picky. So here’s what my already stressed brain wants to do for Father’s Day gifts: nothing. Okay, not nothing. But I may just […]
Those who live in East Nashville know that changes are happening. In the midst of growth, murals are popping up in some of the most unique places. Armed with my cell phone camera and my family, we hit the town to collect as many Nashville mural photos as we could. We found murals on fences, […]

Summer is my favorite season. It’s the season of ice cream treats, summer movies, summer camp, and some truly fantastic farmers markets in Nashville. I have always been a waterbug—a girl who should have been born much closer to the beach. I’ll take 90 degrees over 30 any day. But dang, it gets hot here. Recall last year’s eternal summer? When […]

I hate when I play with my kid for six hours, then it turns out it’s only been 20 minutes. When I am at home, time drags. As a new mom—and hardcore introvert—my natural inclination is to stay at home. Lugging around a car seat, diaper bag, change of clothes, and baby food seems daunting. What […]
For me, food is seasonal, and this line of thinking drives my husband nuts. He can sit down and eat a pot roast or lasagna any day of the year – but when it’s hot outside, I want something summery and refreshing! This can make the make ahead meal a little challenging, as one does […]
Our family moved to Nashville at the end of 2014—along with every other person and their uncle. As a mom of two, I’ve enjoyed watching our city flourish. And with parts of Nashville experiencing revitalization, it means more for us to see and do. I’ve particularly enjoyed the emergence all over the city of Nashville murals. […]

The options are endless, and sometimes it feels like if you choose the W. R. O. N. G. option your baby will hate solid food, be a a picky eater, […]
If you have never had the *pleasure* of flying with young children, count your lucky stars. Being trapped in a small space with nowhere to go should a meltdown or fill-in-the-blank emergency occur, strikes fear in those of us who fly with kids. I’ve flown a lot with kids. I consider myself lucky that I […]
