We love our town. Nashville is the best place to live we believe. Everyone says that about where they live, I know. But there is something about country music, sweet tea, good home cooked meals, and everyone saying "ya'll" that makes it perfect for us. I love to cook, but I also love to eat out. We eat out probably more than we should, but it's so fun. If you live in Nashville or are planning a visit to our town, here are some of our favorite places to eat that aren't chain ...

Even if it has been a bad day, or rough week, we can almost always refer to Friday as a good day. So what makes "Good Friday" so good, so seperate from all the other "good Friday's during the year?

Ultimate List of Mom Resources – Week 3
Every have one of those weeks where you feel like you can't come up for air? We have been running non stop this week, and have declared this week our Spring Break. We weren't planning on taking a Spring Break this year so we could finish a little early, but life got in the way of our school this week, and we had to give in.

Hello Friday!

Pray For My Pastor, David Landrith {#prayfordavid}
My Pastor, David Landrith has been diagnosed with an incurable cancer. It's something that we never want to hear anyone has - especially the pastor of your church.

He has been pastor of Long Hollow, which now has more than 9,000 members, since 1997. In a sermon at Long Hollow March 10, Landrith recounted the diagnosis and his reaction and pointed ...
