about our family
Get to know us
We’re a small family that loves making big memories. We live in a small, country cottage nestled in the hills of Tennessee.
Our faith, our families, and our friends are the most important treasures that we have. We love sharing our experiences, our adventures, our challenges, and our happy times with others. It is our prayer that this site will encourage and inspire you in this wonderful journey of life.
Chad Paine
Chad grew up in a large family in northern Indiana. At an early age he grew to love working on the farm, raising goats and chickens, and driving the tractor. He is probably the most diligent person you will ever meet, and he credits his dad for his strong work ethic. He spent many years working with youth and his humble and gentle spirit impacted countless lives. He graduated from a private College with an Associates in Youth Ministry. In 2013, he moved to Tennessee and married the love of his life, Erin Bates.
Over the years he has really enjoyed working with his hands, refinishing furniture, remodeling, and building projects. Chad started Paine Construction in 2017, and stays quite busy working full time, and making people’s dreams come to life. He is a proud father to 4 children, and every evening you can find him giving the kids wild piggy-back rides, breathtaking pushes on the swing , and telling the most exciting Bible stories. He is constantly investing into his family, and there is no job at home that he isn’t willing to do. He is a true example of a Christian and leads his family by serving, loving, and giving.

“Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the Words of my mouth…That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children: that they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep His commandments.”
Psalm 78:1,6-7

Last month I spent some time with my grandparents in South Carolina! ❤️ I am so blessed to have them in my life. They are honestly some of my best friends! I can`t wait to go back, but for now, face time will have to do!
It was a special treat to spend time with my sister @bobby_torilayne_smith as well! ☺️😍

We had the sweetest visit with Nana Paine! ❤️ A week flew by way too fast, and I only wish I could’ve taken a picture of all the memories we got to make together! I am so grateful for the wonderful time we had… Now it’s time to resume cooking, cleaning, and laundry (whew…I’m gonna miss my fairy! 🤪) I’m convinced I have the greatest Mother-‘n-law in the world! ❤️

Daddy Date Days ❤️ For The last two months, we have been intentional about spending one-on-one time with each child. We spend a lot of time as a family, but when you have alone time with your child, centered around an activity, it is incredible how their hearts naturally tend to open up, and you get a glimpse of what’s inside! Being a parent is a gift and privilege, and seeing their excitement and anticipation each week has been so fulfilling! You can follow along in our latest YOUTUBE!
