The Story Behind: Thee Inspired Mommy

Tacey Willis Hesmer was born and raised in northern Ohio and currently lives in Raleigh, North Carolina with her husband, William and yellow lab Miss Maggie Mae.  They are expecting their first son May 21^st.  After high school Tacey moved to Australia through The University of The Nations in Hawaii to follow her dreams of exploring the world, studying theology, doing missionary work, and surfing. It was while she was in Australia and Malaysia doing volunteer/missionary work where she fell in love with the art of acting and decided that her next move would be to New York City to study and work on her craft at The New York Film Academy (where Tacey ad Kayleigh met) then next to Hollywood to be a working actress and model. During this time she filmed for several national commercials, television shows and independent films as well as write and illustrate children's book Ellie, Tellie and Mellie: Best Jungle Friends Forever.

After living out her dream she shortly realized that there was something missing in her heart and that was her family. This would lead her back to her back to her home state of Ohio to live close to her family again for the first time since she was 17. It was then that she would return to school for nursing and meet her husband, William in Columbus, Ohio who was at the time the goalie for The Columbus Crew. They were married in December of 2012 and they are currently living in Raleigh, North Carolina where Tacey is part of the nursing staff at Southern Dermatology and Skin Cancer.

     My Name is Kayleigh Spain and I am 27 year old project manager for a commercial construction company and soon to be mom of 3…yes 3!   I have a 1 year old son Truitt and I am due with identical twin girls at the end of June.   I love adventure and living life to the fullest. When I first found out I was pregnant with my son, so many people told me my life would be boring, fun would no longer be a part of my vocabulary and would just get fat and frumpy.  NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BEING TRUE! Before my son I had lived in New York City, Australia and South Africa.  I had been skydiving in West Point, Surfing in Hawaii,  & White water rafting in Africa.  My life was doing what I wanted to do whenever I wanted to do it, and I had no plans of ever settling down and having children.  In May of 2011 I met my husband, we got married December of 2012 and we are going to be a family of 5 in June of 2014. Even after all my traveling, my biggest life adventure and greatest life accomplishment began when I gave birth to my son.  I wanted to write this blog to encourage and challenge other moms that motherhood can be amazing and to challenge each other every day in a positive way.
