A significant percentage of elderly adults are choosing to “age in place,” which means they prefer to remain in their own homes rather than relocate to an assisted living facility or into a senior living community. This decision is understandable—even admirable—and there are home adaptations for the elderly that can make it safer.

While executing these adaptations will require investments of both time and money, they will also extend an elderly person’s ability to live independently for much longer. For example, falling is a serious risk; data suggests that as many as five thousand people die annually due to complications from falling.

Data also indicates that our elders who are able to remain in their own homes, especially when they are cared…

Homeownership can be complex, and adding a pool to the mix is certainly an additional complication.

Middle Tennessee boasts an abundance of beautiful produce, a delectable selection of which are available at our region's farmers markets; open now! The markets also feature skilled artisans selling their handmade goods, all crafted locally, many created from ingredients sourced from the same farms and dairies selling farm-to-table goods throughout the market.

Given the popularity of most of these markets, we recommend arriving early to secure parking and get the best selection of produce and products.

While most vendors now accept cards and electronic payments, it is still advisable to bring cash as a backup. It can be quite disappointing to find something you want, only to learn that the vendor only takes cash.

Due to the crowds at the…

We have written this guide for two categories of people: those who are already in love with boba (also known as bubble) tea and those who are open to having their hearts stolen for the first time. 

What is boba/bubble tea? It’s best described as a flavored drink that contains a tea base mixed with milk (non-dairy), blended fruits, or fruit juice, and chewy tapioca pearls, a black-colored starch-based dessert that is essentially the giant cousin of our familiar tapioca pudding pearls. 

The Taiwanese drink reportedly originated in Taiwan in the 1980s, garnering more attention in Southeast Asia before its rise to popularity worldwide. 

Are you ready to find your new favorite boba shop in Middle Tennessee? Let’s dive right in.

If so, it’s time to start planning in earnest.
