Leave the Light On

December 22, 2016.Reading time 6 minutes.

When my wife and I were newly married, we took a stroll around our neighborhood to see the Christmas lights. After the expense of furnishing our first home, we had nothing left for outdoor decorations, so we had to admire the other houses on our street that year. Read More

Smiley for Kylie Instagram

Today is National Rescue Dog Day. All of our animals are rescues, and they have rescued us. Kylie never got to meet these two, but she would have loved them. Piper is the little 3-legged one who had a rough life before she came here. The big white dog, Josie, is deaf, but knows several signs and is the smartest dog we’ve ever had. If she doesn’t want to obey, she turns her body so she can ignore the sign we are giving. #adoptdontshop #nationaladoptionday #nationaldogrescueday❤️
Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms - including this special lady. And we’re sending a little extra love for those missing their mother or child today.
Today we celebrated Kylie’s sister, Jenna as she graduated Summa Cum Laude from UNG. She is off to get her masters at UGA in the fall, and Kylie would be so proud of her buddy! Congratulations, Jenna.
We’re excited to share how much Fierce Charlotte and her family raised for our Lauren’s Run “Team Bailey, Kylie, and Charlotte” by making and selling cookies! What an amazing family! Every dollar will go towards research to end childhood cancer for good.
Seen at Lauren’s Run & Picnic. She’s still an encouragement.
My family and I will spend the rest of our lives running for this girl. Next week we are running for kids with cancer at the 28th annual Lauren’s Run because she told us to. Would you run with us on April 24? If you can’t be there, would you support our effort with a donation of $28? Click the link in our bio to donate.
The Disney Princess Concert was amazing last night and Kylie would have loved every single second. Thank you, Aunt Jodi, for treating us to this fun night!
We are thrilled to recognize this years Smiley for Kylie Scholarship winners: George-Henry Ewers from Gainesville High School, Iley Barnes from Ringgold High School, Jackson Dunlop from Milton High School, and Tyler Ginn from Greenbrier High School. We wish you all the best in the coming years! Thank you to the Benson Family Foundation and the Georgia High School Musical Theatre Awards for continuing to honor our girl. #Schulers22
We had a nice getaway to Barnsley Resort and got to wear our new Smiley Love Your Melon beanies. Perfect for Kylie’s fam because proceeds go to pediatric cancer research!!!
