Chad Hood

You've been waiting to see them... Now you can! When it comes to wedding invitations, we wanted something just a LITTLE bit different. And we found it!

I have worked in radio for 9 years now and I have been so blessed to have met so many wonderful people. I have been the recipient of a slew of well wishes, whether it was getting better from my surgery, the birth of Anderson or even hitting the moose! Now, you all have outdone yourself. And you're making me cry...happy tears!

It's all in the details, right? You've seen the cake but now it's time to see the cake TOPPER! We couldn't decided whether we should have flowers or little people or something else. Well, Chad made his decision and here it is!

When Chad told me he was going to create something new with snow I couldn't wait! He said he would take Anderson outside yesterday and build a new snow sculpture. He has made others in the past but this was so awesome to have it built in our yard!

Yeah, I'm that sappy. When I asked him what country song reminds him of us he whipped out a list so fast it made my head spin! You've heard a few but there are some I bet you have NEVER heard!

All of you know that Chad and I LOVE Thompson Square! The song 'Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not' is OUR song. We've sung it together at home, at gigs and, heck, he proposed to me with the song! Even bought me the book for my birthday! They are a fantastic duo. You should have seen us watching the CMA Award Show when it came time for Duo of the Year. When they mentioned Thompson Square as a nominee, C

I LOVE old movies. Chad has seen about every John Wayne movie out there a dozen times so he is no stranger to them either. When we first started dating I asked him to watch my FAVORITE movie with me 'Singin' in the Rain' and he enjoyed it. Monday we COULD have watched football or baseball...but while he was in the kitchen getting himself a snack I was flipping channels. When I saw 'Rear Window' I

We have been watching American Ninja Warrior for three seasons now. Each year, we see the men and women vying for their chance to defeat Mount Midoriyama. There are contestants from all walks of life: mailmen, rock climbers, schoolteachers, doctors. Each evening we all watch it together, all three kids, Bradley, Anderson and Jayden, all say "Daddy can do that!" And Chad smiles. They cont

I'm all for having fun at my upcoming wedding to Chad. We want to have a quick ceremony, maybe a half hour of pictures and then dig right into the food! Hey, we like to eat... But there are traditions that have to be dealt with: the cake cutting, first dance and, to some men and women, the tossing of the bridal bouquet and garter. Having been to many a wedding, I have never caught a bouquet. I've

What an incredible weekend! While everyone else was at the Taste of Country Music Festival in Hunter Mountain, NY, I was traveling to Gilford, New Hampshire. And for good reason: Chad and Cold Blue Steel were opening for Trace Adkins! And I HAD to be there! Wouldn't have missed it...even if Hugh Jackman was coming to town!

On Sunday at the Silver Spur in Mechanic Falls, the awards were handed out from a competition held in April. Maine country artists and musicians came from all over to compete and the talent there was incredible! Did your favorite take home a trophy? See the complete list below!

It's been just over a year and a half since I received his first text. A simple one saying that he and his band wanted to adopt a family for our B98.5 Salvation Army Christmas Castle. Little did I know that one text would potentially lead to a lifetime together.

Another Maine band this year is opening for another big act at the Meadowbrook US Cellular Pavillion's on their Magic Hat Stage. Central Maine's own Cold Blue Steel's lead singer, Chad Hood, received the phone call on Friday. Once it was posted to Facebook, well, all heck broke loose!

Chad and I have been to Musician's First Choice a million times for all sorts of different things. When you see the one you love want something so badly, you'd do anything to buy it for them. And that's just what I did.

Bright lights! Big city! Big chance! Was this Chad Hood's big day? Hood, from Clinton, Maine, was chosen to compete on Community Auditions Star of the Day being filmed at the Hard Rock Cafe at Foxwoods Resort and Casino in Connecticut on Sunday.  He would be up against two very talented performers. Was he up for the challenge?
