Re: Thoughts on Tennessee
West Tennessean here. I don't think you can go wrong moving to this state. We plan to retire in western Tennessee. Milder summers vastly different terrain. Housing remains affordable in this state...I will never live in a place with state tax again.

Re: Is it worth buying an infant car seat for each car.
A simpler solution for an infant is to get the type of car seat where the top part comes off and you can carry the baby in it to go in the store or where ever you are going. It clicks and locks into the base that is secured in the car. This also means that you are less likely to wake up a sleeping ...

One thing to make sure of is that your house has a whole house water softener. Why? Hard water buildup. It ruins appliances and feels chalky on the skin. Exactly. Then skin dries like no other despite moisturizer, hair dry then breakage, Clothes don't clean so well. Resolved with softener.
