I don’t think anyone can argue that motherhood isn’t busy. We mommas take care of our kiddos all day long in some form or fashion. Despite being a stay-at-home homeschooling mom, I struggle with finding special one-on-one time with each of my kids. One-on-one time is incredibly important for you and your child — my […]
With Christmas right around the corner, it seems that everywhere we look, we find ourselves bombarded with advertisements telling us we all need more stuff. I believed the advertisers for years. But now that I’m older? I realize that when I think back on my childhood, it’s the memories I made with my family that […]
It’s November. And when November comes around each year, I am not thinking about Thanksgiving. No. I am already planning for Christmas. My mind is going over travel plans, gifts to buy, and how to create memories with my little ones. When I was a child, I lived in utter anticipation of Christmas. A few […]
Fall is such a fun time to be a kid. The changing leaves, apple picking, pumpkin patches, fun treats and traditions . . . it all amounts to endless memories for your children. Halloween goes hand-in-hand with fall, and that means pumpkin carving! But brandishing a knife and a detailed design may be a bit […]
If you are like other moms I know and need a break from summer break, going on a tour of the downtown mural landscape is a nice way to offer a diversion for kids—of any age. Of all the areas in Nashville, I most looked forward to exploring the downtown mural space. The Nashville Walls […]

The benefits of reading aloud are numerous—including language development, creating a bond with your child, building literacy skills, brain development, and establishing a love of reading. And remember! You don’t have to stop […]
It was a beautiful day. So the babe, the husband, the three-year-old, and I set out on another of our mural escapades. Riding in our pimped out Toyota Sienna, we rolled down the windows and rocked out to the Moana soundtrack (at my daughter’s request) and followed our mapped-out mural route in the West Nashville/12 South […]
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, […]
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 […]
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. […]
