👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 To all of my homeschool parents, keep going!!! It's worth it!!! The benefits of homeschooling are PRICELESS. I learned more about myself as a mother than they did from me as their teacher. Of course, they didn't like the idea, but now, they appreciate it. Yes, I would do it over again! Oh! And having another parent on board makes it manageable. #imissthembeinglittle #myheartbeats

#keeppushing Soooo, @numberonechase received a res #keeppushing Soooo, @numberonechase received a response letter from @governorkayivey last week. 

⏪️Back story: Chase has played many games with his AAU teams, middle school, and high school teams but never played on Friday nights or Saturdays. He has missed a LOT of games. Chase never understood why games couldn't be scheduled more during the week. So, he wrote his first letter in 2017 about his conviction and beliefs to the @aaubasketball, AHSAA, and his AAU coaches. He sent the letters more than once and to no avail, no response, except for his AAU coach. His AAU and JV coaches have made many provisions with the scheduling, and we were forever grateful. 🙏🏽Thank you, Coach T of Alabama Dream, and Coach Hughes of Sparkman High School! 

⏩️Because of the excellent stance the young men have taken at @oakwoodadventistacademy, Chase was encouraged to send the same letter he had written in 2017 to Governor Ivey. 

🙌🏽Al and I are grateful for Chase's determination and consistency. Our prayers are that he consults God for direction during his college years; that's when he will need it the most. Thank you, @governorkayivey, for your response. It's all about God's timing.

#tbt #forgiveness At nine years old, @numberonec #tbt #forgiveness  At nine years old,  @numberonechase came to me and mentioned he wanted merch. Not only did he create headbands, wristbands, t-shirts, and gym sacks to wear to school for his 10th birthday,  he wanted to start promoting and selling that summer. 

The experience he had on that school day was a little more than he expected: a couple of peers were mean to him, and one of his friends threw some of his merch in the trash while he changed for PE class. Of course, I was upset, but it showed me that Chase is destined for greatness, which is all a part of the journey.

According to his teacher, Chase handled it with grace and dignity. He never confronted his friend, who threw it in the trash; instead, he prayed for him and invited him to his party. 👀

Yes, I would have handled it differently in the fifth grade, and I wanted to handle it as a mom.  I realized children could teach their parents, too, and this is the day Chase taught me about forgiveness. 🙌🏽❤

Exclusively By Tess is the best partnership I ever made. Tess is very detailed and organized. She brings exquisite talent and great design decor to anything she touches. Her work is extraordinary. None of her events are the same. Hire Tess!

Great business partner Chef David Smith/2 Men In A Kitchen

We had the best event last evening and it was all because of Exclusively By Tess! If you want it done right…… Call Tess!!!

More than what I expected… Dr. Angela Brown, Healthy Smiles

Exclusively By Tess recently donated decoration services for a baby shower that we planned at Oakwood University Church. The mother-to-be wanted a music theme with a black and gold color scheme – something very different from the normal baby shower decor. Tessa, however, blew our minds by completely transforming our church fellowship hall into a music concert hall. From the floor-to-ceiling music notes to the real record placemats, to the jumbo size prints of the couple, and to the microphone-shaped cupcakes on the candy bar was amazing. Exclusively By Tess provided more than we could ever imagine, all while keeping in line with the black and gold color scheme. Tessa truly has a gift for internalizing your greatest desires for party decor and transforming them into a reality! Her creative genius and tireless efforts helped make our event a HUGE success!

Breathtaking LaKeisha Williams, Vice Principal, Oakwood Adventist Academy

I can’t say enough about how happy I am with “Exclusively by Tess”. I was so overwhelmed by how perfectly she put everything together that I actually cried! It was excellent—without fault. It met and exceeded my expectations. I am already planning my next event and I will use Contessa as often as possible for every event that I plan from now on. Hire her! You won’t be disappointed. I promise.

Exquisite Work Dr. Kem Roper/English Professor/Oakwood University

I have personally been tremendously happy with her work. In addition to the event she planned for me, I have attended several of her events and occasions and have found her services and creativity to be superior. She is well-informed and resourceful regarding details that have resulted in remarkable events that are a cut above all others. In planning my event she did a fantastic job in identifying my individual style and preferences so that each aspect of the event corresponded with my desires. 

Beautiful Work! Sheila Figgins
