about our family
Get to know us
We’re a small family that loves making big memories. We live in a small, country cottage nestled in the hills of Tennessee.
Our faith, our families, and our friends are the most important treasures that we have. We love sharing our experiences, our adventures, our challenges, and our happy times with others. It is our prayer that this site will encourage and inspire you in this wonderful journey of life.
Chad Paine
Chad grew up in a large family in northern Indiana. At an early age he grew to love working on the farm, raising goats and chickens, and driving the tractor. He is probably the most diligent person you will ever meet, and he credits his dad for his strong work ethic. He spent many years working with youth and his humble and gentle spirit impacted countless lives. He graduated from a private College with an Associates in Youth Ministry. In 2013, he moved to Tennessee and married the love of his life, Erin Bates.
Over the years he has really enjoyed working with his hands, refinishing furniture, remodeling, and building projects. Chad started Paine Construction in 2017, and stays quite busy working full time, and making people’s dreams come to life. He is a proud father to 4 children, and every evening you can find him giving the kids wild piggy-back rides, breathtaking pushes on the swing , and telling the most exciting Bible stories. He is constantly investing into his family, and there is no job at home that he isn’t willing to do. He is a true example of a Christian and leads his family by serving, loving, and giving.
Erin Bates Paine
Erin finds fulfillment and joy from being a full time mother, homeschooling her two oldest, making dinners from scratch, and growing every flower she can find. She has a desire to minister to other women and encourage them to deepen their relationship with the Lord. You will often hear her saying, “Make your time with Jesus your priority each day, and make a choice to surround yourself with people and media that will challenge you spiritually. Life is too short to waste our time and eternity is too great.”
so much fun!

Not all tallow is the same.
We created Rose Luxe (NEW) for skin that needs deeper nourishment — not just something that sits on the surface. Every ingredient was chosen with intention, from the grass-fed tallow to the carefully blended oils that help soften and support skin over time. 🌹
Nothing refined. Nothing synthetic. 🌿
Just thoughtfully chosen ingredients from nature,
kept as close to their original form as possible. 🪴

When I look at your perfect little face, I can only whisper, “Thank You, God.”
Thank You for Your faithfulness.
Thank You for Your mercy.
Thank You for being the giver of every good and perfect gift.
It’s hard to believe that just five months ago, we couldn’t see this beautiful picture. We were simply begging God for a miracle. And now—now all I see is the miracles around me.
Every single day, you are a reminder of how good our Heavenly Father is. 🤍
@knittedtreasures thank you for the sweetest hat and booties!

Four years of Finley Marie, and we still can’t believe how much joy fits into such a little person. 🫶🏻 She wakes up looking for baby Henry, makes up songs just for him, and somehow keeps all her siblings wrapped around her finger. 💜She’s cuddly, silly, loves the outdoors, and her giggle will always be our favorite sound. We love you, Finney Winnie. 🤍
Also…after all these kids, I finally get one that looks like me! 😅🥰

10 years apart. 🥰
For years, he prayed for a brother… now he has two! 🥹
I couldn’t ask for a more kind and gentle big brother. He is a gift. A total copy and paste of his daddy! 🫶🏻

After a year that stretched us deeply, this Christmas feels different—overflowing with gratitude for Jesus coming to earth to be humbly born in a manger. 🤍 He is the greatest gift of all!
Merry Christmas from the Paine Family ❤️

Happy 30th birthday to my little sister and forever best friend 🎉🤍
From loving babies and soaking up the gift of being stay-at-home wives, laughing until we cry, and researching healthy recipes - some yummy and some horrible! 😅 You make life richer and lighter all at once ❤️
And I love that no matter how chaotic life gets, we still try to FaceTime during the week… even when little voices, sticky fingers, and tiny faces insist on joining every call! 😂
You love the Lord so deeply, and you challenge me to walk closer with Him just by the way you live. I’m so grateful for your wisdom, your humor, and your constant encouragement.
Thirty looks so good on you, and I can’t wait to see all God has ahead for you. I love you SO MUCH! 💛

Coming together as a family (with some friends) to bring a smile to those who may be missing someone or feeling alone this Christmas. 🎄
A gentle reminder to look around and love someone well this season. 🤍
