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.
Erin Bates Paine
Erin finds fulfillment and joy from being a full time mother, homeschooling her two oldest, making dinners from scratch, and growing every flower she can find. She has a desire to minister to other women and encourage them to deepen their relationship with the Lord. You will often hear her saying, “Make your time with Jesus your priority each day, and make a choice to surround yourself with people and media that will challenge you spiritually. Life is too short to waste our time and eternity is too great.”
so much fun!

Some weeks feel productive.
Some weeks feel peaceful.
And some weeks feel like a disaster you are just pushing through. 🤢
But I’m learning the sweetest lessons show up right in the middle of the chaos.
Little hearts are always watching how we love, serve, and show grace — even when we feel terrible. 🥹
And sometimes… they end up teaching us.
A lot.

I love you more than ever. 😘💋 Somehow each year just keeps getting sweeter.
I’ve always loved gospel music, and getting to go to a Gaither Vocal Band Concert has been a dream of mine for years. Being there with you made it even more special. ❤️
Thank you for the most perfect Valentine’s Day. 💕

Teaching children Scripture takes time, intention, and consistency — but it doesn’t have to be complicated 🤍
God promises that His Word will never return void. I may never know how He will use these exact verses in their lives, but I trust that every word planted matters.
One verse at a time.
One little heart at a time. 🤍

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stretched thin—this is what has sustained me for years.

Not all tallow is the same.
We created Rose Luxe (NEW) for skin that needs deeper nourishment — not just something that sits on the surface. Every ingredient was chosen with intention, from the grass-fed tallow to the carefully blended oils that help soften and support skin over time. 🌹
Nothing refined. Nothing synthetic. 🌿
Just thoughtfully chosen ingredients from nature,
kept as close to their original form as possible. 🪴

When I look at your perfect little face, I can only whisper, “Thank You, God.”
Thank You for Your faithfulness.
Thank You for Your mercy.
Thank You for being the giver of every good and perfect gift.
It’s hard to believe that just five months ago, we couldn’t see this beautiful picture. We were simply begging God for a miracle. And now—now all I see is the miracles around me.
Every single day, you are a reminder of how good our Heavenly Father is. 🤍
@knittedtreasures thank you for the sweetest hat and booties!
