You will love it!  Make reservations and prepare to thoroughly enjoy yourself!

 

 

 

 

My Mom, sis, and I came on a Friday night.

 

 

I know, right?  Yes, that's my Mom!  Everyone thinks we're sisters.

 

 

Me and my sistah.

 

 

This salad is divine.  And that crispy fried goat cheese... absolutely scrum!

 

 

 

 

You can be seated at the Chef's Bar which has a great view of their oven where they make the best wood fired pizza.  Holy moly!  It's so good you'll lick your eyebrows.

 

 

I've been here once before and on that visit I had a steak.  It was fabulous! 

 

 

 

For dessert, we had this yummy little chocolate tart. 

 

As I'm writing this, I'm looking online and I see they've made some changes to their menu.  Looks like it's time go to back!

 

 

 

 



Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint

Mt Juliet welcomes Martin's BBQ!!

 

 

 

Everyone was so excited Martin's was coming to Mt Juliet. 

I was like, Martin who?

 

 

 

I had no idea what to expect, but I was not prepared for this deliciousness!!

 

 

 

 

If you can read these chalkboard signs outside the restaurant, they tell you that sometimes they run out of food because they don't use freezers or microwaves.

And Moon Pies are free to kids 12 and under.

 

 

Their menu is great.  I had already been told by several people to try the Redneck Taco so I did.

 

 

 

It's amazing!!  A treat for your tastebuds!  They take a corn fritter, top it with the meat of your choice, add homemade slaw, and then the sauce of your choice.  It's so good, you'll lick your eyebrows!

 

 

 

Yummy ribs.

 

 

Pulled chicken.

 

 

Give Martin's a try!  

 

 



Namesake: There's An App For That

I love women's bible studies.  I've been doing them for years and it's where I've learned most of what I know about God and the bible.  In bible study, you make the best friends, you get to know each other better, and you grow in your relationship with God.

 

 

I was recently asked to review an app for a bible study called Namesake.  I haven't done this study yet and was excited to see what the app would offer!

 

 

I was amazed to find videos within the app!  This went above and beyond my expectations. 

 

 

 

 

But, my most important question, how easy is the workbook to use in the app, and can we answer questions directly in the workbook?

 

 

 

I was delighted to find that you can navigate the entire workbook, by each week, and then by each day of the week.  Super easy. 

 

And to answer a question within the workbook, simply touch the screen and a window pops up allowing you to answer!  I am in love.

To take a note, tap the tools icon, and a window opens for note taking.

 It's the same for using a bookmark, or highlighting.

 

Very cool.

 

The future of bible studies is looking good! 

 

 

 

 







Capitol Grille Nashville

An icon in Nashville is The Capitol Grille located in The Hermitage Hotel.  Not to be confused with the upscale restaurant chain, Capital Grille.

Politicians, celebrities, and country music greats have been enjoying Capitol Grille since 1910.

Pretty cool, huh?

 

 

My Mom, sister, and I had to check this place out. 

 

Very schmancy!  Out server was excellent, not stuffy, very knowledgeable.

 

 

 

Hermitage Hotel has a beef farm in Dickson, TN.  They had several selections on the menu that came from the local farm.

 

Their chef also uses locally grown produce.

I didn't get a single picture of our dinner, because we always get excited when the meal arrives, and then I forget to take pictures.  Everything was excellent.  Super yummy and amazing.


After dinner, we headed to the ladies room and boy did we get a surprise...

We were invited to take a gander at the men's room!  Turns out it's famous!  A friend of mine even had wedding photos taken in there!

 

Need to make a call?

 

 

Or maybe get a shoe shine?

 

 

 

Enjoy your meal... and don't forget to visit the Men's room!
 



Jewel Toned Makeover

 

 

How adorable is Maddy? 

 

She is absolutely precious and I had so much fun doing her hair!

Last summer we gave her a blonde streak in front. 

 

Before

 

She came in for a root touch up and I asked her how did she feel about doing something different?

I suggested we color the hair around her face back to her natural color and give her a streak just a little further back than what we had done before.

 

 

 

First, we colored the blonde around her face using Redken Shades EQ 07NB.

 

 

Then I applied bleach to the section I wanted and then wrapped it in foil.

 

 

I had Maddy sit under the dryer to help the bleach to process.

 

 

Looks great!  We shampooed her hair, dryed it, and then applied her next colors.

 

 

First, I applied purple hair color by Manic Panic.

 

 

Next I did a purple and blue ombre using Pravana Blue.

 

 

 

I love the way this turned out and so did Maddy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Ramona & Company

You know what they say, jewelry is a girl's best friend. 

 

Girls, meet Ramona, your new best friend.

 

 

Ramona's is located in Providence Marketplace in Mt Juliet, TN between Yankee Candle and Bath and Body Works.

 

 

This is one of my absolute favorite stores!  Eye candy galore.

Brighton, Pandora, My Flat In London, Spartina, Fossil, and more!

 

 

Jewelry, purses, scarves, watches, shoes, etc!

 

 

They have a great rewards program... Girlfriend Dollars!

It is so much fun to spend those!!

 

 

And they have layaway.  Just sayin'.
