Hello, My name is Shelby. This is me.... in a nutshell.


Hey y’all. I’m Shelby, I'm one of the Dixie Queens! I’m very southern and very loud! I can’t help it, its who I am and I'm very proud of it! I love painting (Check out the business I own with my mom Sweet Grass Designs), crafting and turning old things into new awesome creations! I'm a busy stay-at-home mom so I'm always on the go!


 I’m married to my (mostly) awesome husband, Chad. He's a busy hard working man that we are very thankful for!!! He works for the local sheriff's department where he is the Director of Detention Services. I'm very proud of him!!! 


 We have an amazingly cute 2 year old, Reeves, that I’m lucky enough to stay home with everyday! He is a typical 2 year old, mood swings and all! He's the only child, only grandchild, only nephew... so he's not spoiled at all!!



Before we had Reeves we had our german shepherd, Deigo. Deigo is very much Chad's dog!  When Reeves was a little over a year old, we got Coal, Reeves’ cat. And we recently got a standard poodle, Tucker (mom needed a pet of her own!).  




Chad and I started dating in 2007. We actually started “talking” at Ashley’s Christmas party in 2006. 
We dated for almost 4 long years before we got married on June 26, 2010. 

(Ashley was my maid of honor)

Within 3 months we were pregnant with our little bundle of joy! Reeves was born on July 3, 2011. Ashley was one of the first people to hold him! She was at the hospital an hour after we got there and stayed until she held Reeves! I’ll never forget that!

Chad and I bought our first house in 2012! We are so excited, it's almost our dream home! We are having fun being first time homeowners and making the house our home! I'm excited to share our projects with you!





So, thats our family. We are loud (understatement) and crazy but we love each other more than anything! Family first!
