June 2022 “From the Heart”

Hello Summer! It’s June, and school is out…so let summer begin! Children, parents and teachers alike are all breathing a sigh of relief. Yes, another school year is over and everyone can enjoy a little break from the school routine. Homemade ice cream, catching lightning bugs and vacations await! Summer is a much-needed and well-deserved break for everyone!

Happy Father’s Day to all the unsung heroes out there! You all take a lot of flak and sometimes take a backseat when it comes to accolades for parenting. But, 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. And George, what a blessing you are to my mom and our family. I am grateful for you. My husband is an amazing father to our 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!

Our June cover features Little Richard’s BBQ, and what says summer better than barbeque? With five locations, you’re sure to be able to find a convenient location to dine with them or pick up an order to go for a picnic in the park! And, just in case barbeque is not your thing, they offer so much more, so be sure to check their full menu out!

Our Summer Camp Showcase ended with the May issue. But, for those still lining up summer, we have a couple new camp ads this month, and you can always look at previous issues online to plan the perfect summer for your child.

Here’s to the start of an amazing summer for everyone!

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!”
