April 2022 – From the Heart – Forsyth Family Magazine

April 2022 – From the Heart

By the time this issue is published, we will have finally moved into our own “fixer upper!” We’ve been working on our new, little home since September, and it’s hard for me to believe the time has come to say “goodbye” to the house we have called home for the past 22 years. We moved in the spring of 2000 and held our youngest daughter’s 7th birthday party shortly thereafter in April. Since then, we have held countless birthday parties and family gatherings to celebrate Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas. We’ve watched both our girls grow up, start driving, graduate from high school and college, and our oldest daughter get married in this house. We’ve also weathered the storms of my breast cancer journey, and the loss of a pet, grandparents and parents. I’m grateful for the refuge this house has provided all these years and can only hope that it’s new caretakers will make as many wonderful memories here as we have!

April is our annual spring home issue filled with advertisers and articles to assist you with many needs regarding your home! Carolina Shutter & Blinds is our cover advertiser, and they would love for you to call them for any of your window covering needs. The April issue continues with our Summer Camp Showcase with many wonderful camp options to create a magical summer for your child!

Spring 2022 brings the return of many beloved events including the annual Second Harvest Empty Bowls fundraiser on April 23rd. Forsyth Mags is honored to be a part of this year’s event with Brooke Eagle serving as chair and Keela and I serving as honorary chairs. See page 11 to get your tickets!

Be sure to visit us at the Kids Zone tent from 1-4pm on April 23rd at the 17th Annual Earth Day Fair for this month’s Kids’ Afternoon Out!

Love & Blessings!

Robin Bralley

Forsyth Family publisher/owner from 2007-2022. She turned over the reins to the very capable Brooke Eagle in 2023 and remains a part of the team as an Account Executive. You’ll also most likely see her stocking magazine racks around town. Robin grew up in Clemmons and has called it home all her life. She has a degree from High Point University and after finding herself downsized from her marketing position in corporate America, Robin joined forces with Forsyth Woman publisher and friend, Keela Johnson to launch Forsyth Family.

She and her husband, Tim, have been married for almost 35 years and share two grown daughters, Briana and Morgan, as well as a son-in-laws, Briana’s husband, Jonathan and Morgan’s husband, Deep! She welcomed her first grandchild in May 2023. Being Mimi to Collins is one of her greatest joys in her semi-retirement. Robin and her family are avid music fans and enjoy going to concerts and movies. She loves traveling, watching birds on her many backyard feeders and flower gardening. She is an active member of New Day Community Church and feels closest to God on her daily walks at Tanglewood Park with husband Tim.

Regarding her favorite thing about Forsyth Magazines, Robin said, “It’s hard to narrow it down to one specific thing, but meeting all of the wonderful people I come in contact with and being a small part of local businesses’ success is top of the list!”
