From the Heart: June 2018

Happy Father’s Day to all our unsung heroes out there! You are our rock and our roll, what would we do without you? Seriously we love you guys and you definitely make our lives richer. My dad taught me many life lessons and I have fond memories of watching him work on our family car or making some repair around the house. My husband is an amazing father to our two girls and is quite the grill master! I cannot believe how blessed I am to have him in my life! He calms me in the storm and constantly makes me laugh. Thanks, Tim, for all you bring to our lives!

In the infamous words of Alice Cooper’s classic song…“School’s out for Summer! No more teachers, no more homework…” for a short time at least! Families and teachers alike rejoice at summer! Yay for no homework or strict bedtimes! Summer is a much-needed and well-deserved break for everyone! Our Summer Camp Showcase ended with the May issue. But for those still lining up summer, we have a couple new camp ads in this month and you can always look at back-issues online.

Our June cover features the Crossnore School & Children’s Home. We met at their Miracle Grounds Farm Store for their photo shoot, and Brett Loftis was the epitome of patience with a little one climbing all over him. I could just feel the love exuding from everyone I came in contact with that day. What a wonderful place we have for those children who need them. The strawberry patch was open that day, so thanks to my husband, I left there not only with a warm heart but a beautiful basket of strawberries to enjoy! I invite you to check out their place, drive through their campus and visit the Farm Store. Perhaps even become a volunteer or make a much-needed donation.

Many thanks to those who joined our Komen team in May! Let summer begin!

Blessings!

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!”
