Hometown Family | The Skinners

❤️How did you and your spouse meet, and how long have you been married?

We met at Ole Miss and married five years ago.

❤️Do you allow time to be with your spouse for a date night?

We don’t have a lot of time with the new baby now, but we try to prioritize cooking at home and spending time together as a family. Nothing beats staying in and being intentional with our time together as a family.

❤️What brings you the greatest joy as a first time parent?

Seeing Will discover new things and grow. Seeing him witness the world for the first time.

❤️What accomplishments make you proud during your time living in Madison?

Building a family here and being close to family ~ having a community of people who love us is such a treasure!

“Madison is a safe, sweet place to raise a family and a community that makes it easy to feel connected. You’re never a stranger in Madison.”

Our November/December issue is arriving this week! As we move into the holiday season, after all of the “trick or treaters” make their way on Friday… we are reflecting on what makes Madison County such a wonderful place to call home ~ The small businesses form the heartbeat of our city, we encourage you to make a special effort to shop local. When you shop small, you’re doing more than checking off a gift list, you’re investing in Madison County’s future. Our local businesses remind us that the best gifts don’t always come from far away, they come from right here at home. So, let’s celebrate what makes Madison County truly special: community, connection & commitment to one another. Together, we make it not just a great place to live, but a wonderful place to belong… On stands soon.

Reader Spotlight 💡 Sara Watts

💡How long have you lived in Madison County?
This December it will be 15 years.

💡Tell us about your family.
Wade is a financial advisor with UBS financial. I am a registered nurse in the PACU at Children’s Hospital. Everett is a sophomore at Madison Central and plays football. Chaney is an 8th grader at MMS and plays Rush soccer in addition to MC soccer. We attend church at Parkway Hills UMC.

💡Give us an encouraging quote.
“If you make your bed every morning you will have accomplished the first task of the day. It will give you a small sense of pride, and it will encourage you to do another task and another and another. By the end of the day, that one task completed will have turned into many tasks completed. Making your bed will also reinforce the fact that little things in life matter. If you can’t do the littler things right, you will never do the big things right. And, if by chance you have a miserable day, you will come home to a bed that is made - that you made- and a made bed gives you encouragement that tomorrow will be better. If you want to change the world, start off by making you bed.” Naval Admiral William H. McRaven
