Info

Who is the financial manager at home?We both share the financial management. With Taylor owninga business and me managing a pediatric business as well as hisbusiness, we both have the desire to be involved. It works in ourhome, both are always in the know about all the financials andone person doesn’t carry the burden alone.When your children were younger, what was yourdiscipline philosophy?Honestly this changed for each child. We figured out very quicklythat what worked for the oldest child most definitely didn’t workwith the second or third. Our first child we could easily talk toand work through things. With the second child, a timeoutapproach worked because once she set her mind to it there wasno talking about anything until she was calm, or we would alllose our tempers quickly. The third child…well he can be a mix,it just depends on the situation.What do you see in your role as the greatest benefitto your family?Most days I would say the planner/organizer. With two workingparents and multiple children/activities, there is typically a dailydiscussion with one or more person (husband included) tellingthem where we need to be, what time to be there.What’s a quick go-to meal that isn’t fast food?And who does the cooking?Hamburger steak, mashed potatoes, green beans. This is a familyfavorite for us and so quick to make. Taylor definitely does themajority of the cooking, in the winter, when we are actually homea lot. He has a pretty relaxed schedule and almost always beats mehome. I am typically running kids to a practice so he cooks whilewe are gone. He enjoys it. In the spring/summer we are neverhome. There is always a practice or game so eating at home is rare.How do you spend your summer breaks?Adelyn plays travel softball. April through June our weekends arealways spent on a softball field. We also own a camper, so in Julyand August we try to camp every weekend we can. Finding newplaces within our own state we didn’t know existed has beensuper fun.What accomplishments make you proud during yourtime living in Pisgah?My family, hands down, is my greatest accomplishment. Next tofamily would be building our home on our family land. We alllove living in Pisgah. I can’t imagine raising our family anywhereelse. Taylor and I both agree that coming home every day is thebest part of our day. Sitting outside at dusk and just unwinding,hearing nothing but nature is an instant relief. Once we gotmarried, where we would live was never even a question. We’vebuilt our home on family land next to my brother and his family.Seeing our three children and three nephews/nieces grow uptogether is exactly how we hoped it would be.What drives you to have the job that you have?I started working at the Children’s Clinic in 2005. After highschool, I honestly had no idea what I wanted to do. When I firststarted it was just a job. But I have been there going on 16 years.It’s more than a job—now it’s a family. I love to see the clinic dowell. It’s in my heart to make sure they succeed and everyone istaken care of.How long has Pisgah been your home?I was born and raised in Pisgah. Taylor moved to Pisgah in 1996.When we married, we established our home here and our childrenhave been raised here as well.What are some of your favorite things about Rankin County?One of the best things about Rankin County would be our schooldistrict. I think we have an amazing administration, educators,and staff. Law enforcement would be another. I don’t think thereis anywhere I’ve been in Rankin County that feels “unsafe.” Ourlaw enforcement is always present and quick to respond.38 • MARCH 2021
