When they sleep.....Enjoy the Moments

















Photos: Tessa Paige ready for bed. Isabella Faith asleep on Mommy at a church event. It's not possible for me to remember life without them. They are such a vital part of my existence now!

I don't know about you, but I believe that there is nothing more beautiful than a sleeping child. The look of complete comfort on their faces is worth every minute spent enjoying their slumber. And when their little eyes open and they look for you, they are the most precious things on earth. So happy, so glad to see you, so wet, so hungry, so very much the greatest part of your life. We miss so many moments in life thinking other things are more important, laundry to be done, dishes to wash, floors to clean and on, on, on. All the chores in the world cannot replace the growth of a child. The everyday learning experiences - they also teach us as they learn! In the big scheme of things, those tiny amazing moments cannot be recreated and if we blink, we miss them. Don't miss a thing! Life's way too short.

About Me

My photo
I have the most amazing family and spend most of my time with them. I have twin daughters who are 32. They have given me Tessa age 4, Isabella age 3, Harrison who is 2 and Pierce Hayden who is 5 months. I also have 3 step children who have blessed me with Heath and Heather - who are almost 14, Bailey who is 13, Alyssa who is 7, Greyson who is 5 and Tinsley who is 5 months. I am a blessed Gigi!! I am a builder of custom homes and have a subdivision that I am developing, I have a Nashville vacation rental that keeps me hopping, I recently took on a beautiful new position editing and proofreading for a speaker/book writer with Psalms 31 Ministries, I am also editing a book for a beautiful Christian friend who is about ready to publish her first book, I am working diligently for the next Congressman for the 5th District in Tennessee and just recently have started campaigning for a family member who is running as an independent for the Governor of Tennessee. I travel a lot with my husband and find my most satisfying position in life is as a daughter to my amazing Mom and as Gigi to my beautiful "little people"!! Life couldn't be more busy, crazy and chaotic - and I love it!!
