As a busy mom there’s little doubt that selling your home can feel stressful. You have to know how to assess the market and properly execute all the steps in the home-selling process in a reasonable timeline so you’re not left without a home. Add to that the fact that you likely have a million and one things going on—juggling home activities and a demanding job. You don’t have time to handle all the ups and downs of real estate, or worse, risk leaving money on the table. I can help. You are looking for an experienced and knowledgeable agent with proven results to help walk you through the selling process and make sure you’re capturing all the equity you deserve. I work tirelessly for my clients because I know how stressful it can be to manage a home sale while you’re trying to purchase your dream home and balance home life. My service-oriented nature, strong negotiation skills, and resourcefulness are precisely why my clients choose to work with me.
Let’s take selling your home off your to-do list and put it on mine.

Hello, My Name is Alexis White, and I am the Founder of “It’s A Moms Thang”. I have an associate’s degree in Business Administration, and I currently work as an Intake Coordinator for Behavioral Health. Being a mother isn’t easy, you have your good days, bad days, crying days, superwoman days, and even loving days. Trust me, I understand, because I am a mother of two precious daughters ages 5 and 6. Even with all those different days combined, I must remind myself that being a mother is rewarding in many ways. There have been so many times I have felt like I failed as a mother, and I sympathize with other mothers as well, who might be feeling the same way. Through these experiences, “It’s A Moms Thang” was birth in 2019 to reach mothers that are silently crying out for help and feel like they are doing it alone. Philippians 4:13 is my favorite scripture, “I can do all things through Christ that gives me strength” and guess what Mommies, you can as well! You must think of motherhood as you have the Strength of Sampson, the Faith of Abraham, the Wisdom of Solomon, the Patience of Job, and the Courage of David. I tell myself every day not to Quit and keep pushing because Guess What?? The best is Yet to come! Stay Encouraged.

It is important to know that we do not consider ourselves as merely “Chaplains for Christians”. We are here to support all in public safety, regardless of what they may or may not believe. We will always do so with gentleness, empathy and love. However, it’s equally important to know that we are Christian Chaplains. That means that we see the world, and all that it holds, through a very specific lens of faith and hope. Without apology, we will always present ourselves as Ambassadors of Christ and His Gospel.
“She was bigger than life. She loved everything. Always wanted to be on the go. She was very expressive. We don’t want that to end, we want to continue that. ”
Natalie Bacho explains the spirit behind Abby’s Angels, her family’s foundation in honor of her late daughter, Abby, that began in earnest last month.
On Dec. 22, 2012, a truck driven by a teenager sped through a red light, smashing into the side of the Bacho van, driven by Natalie and carrying the Bacho family plus Abby’s grandfather.
Stephen and Natalie were air-flighted to Atlanta hospitals. The others were taken to the local Piedmont Newnan Hospital. Stephen was in an induced coma for several weeks and has since recovered well, but daughter Abby was taken off life support on Christmas Day. The family donated her organs. She was 9 years old.
Abby LOVED to play school and pretend to be the teacher. She also loved shopping for new school supplies each year. With that, came the excitement, curiosity, and wonderment of learning. We believe that Abby may have followed her dream of being a teacher.
Our wish is that each “Abby’s Closet” be a source of assistance to students and even encourage their desire to learn and further their education. Abby’s closets provide so much more than pencils and paper. Each space offers hope acceptance while greeting students with Abby’s giving spirit.

Nonprofit Animal Rescue on a mission to save adoptable pets.
When you adopt from RAR, you save the life of a pet who may have arrived at the Refuge because their time was up at a municipal shelter. We receive pets from all types of situations due to no fault of their own. Adopting from an animal rescue also helps stop the cycle of puppy mills.
Our Services
Pets arrive in our care from a wide variety of situations. Some are rescued from municipal shelters as strays; others are surrendered to our care due to no fault of their own; and some are rescued from neglect or abuse situations.
Often, behavior changes are the result of changes in the pet’s living environment or unknown medical needs. Our behavior assessment helps identify changes in order to retain family and pet bonds and reduce rehoming.
Our adoption team works diligently to match pets with families. Our behavior assessment team gets to know the pet thoroughly and matches accordingly. Often, we receive multiple adoption applications for highly adoptable pets.
Microchipping your pet is the best way to ensure that if your pet ever gets lost, finders will be able to reunite you with your pet. It is important to register your chip right away and update immediately if your information changes.MAKING A DONATION – We are a registered 501c3 nonprofit organization so your donations are tax-deductible. We do not receive government assistance but rely on public donations to continue our mission, serve the community, and rescue adoptable pets. Visit www.royalanimal refuge.org.
