Our Good Friday started like most of yours. Anothe Our Good Friday started like most of yours. Another day of isolation and reflection. But God decided our focus shouldn’t just be on death but also on life. Early Good Friday morning I went into labor. Thanks to Dr. Scroggs and the amazing team here at LCMH for Women we ushered in the arrival of Charlsie Grace at 7:56pm that night. At 7lbs 5oz and 20in long, she’s already a boisterous little firecracker wrapped in a tiny swaddle. And we wouldn’t want it any other way. #bornduringapandemic #ournewestgypsy #ourgreatestadventure #goodfriday #newborn #newbornbaby #goodman #CharlsieGrace @qeeksake

Yall might not know this but six months ago my family opened their cellar doors after two years of renovating and rebranding an old muscadine vineyard and winery. It’s been a team effort to make @Freestatecellars the hottest joint in Southeast Texas and Southwest Louisiana and I’m so glad to be a part of it! This past weekend we celebrated the holiday season with our wine club members, The Smugglers Union, with a classic Christmas movie under the stars. Judging by her smile, this smuggler approved!
