Once upon a time, a Georgia Peach met a British soldier, they got married, and a real life fairy tale started!

Meet the Littlehales, Phillip, Kimberly, William, Thomas, and Victoria and their two fur babies, Ace and Zeus. Residents of White Columns since 2018, the Littlehales knew instantly this is where they wanted to raise their family.

“We originally moved into a beautiful, waterfront home in the golf section, then we moved to a home on the golf course in the gated section. They’re both fantastic! And both have our heart,” says Kimberly.

Growing up in Gwinnett County, Kimberly graduated from UGA and then moved to the Tampa area for law school at Stetson. 

Meanwhile across the pond, a young man from Great Britain was stationed at MacDill AFB as a senior British advisor for the War on Terror in the early 2000’s. All while doing several tours back and forth between Britain and the Middle East.

“We met the very day he landed and started his first tour at MacDill. His new tour mates told him him he had met the girl he would marry, and it turns out they were right! We were married 3 years later on April 12, 2008 in Clearwater,” says Kimberly.

Now back home in Georgia, the Littlehales are raising three children and juggling busy careers that keep them on the go.

William, the oldest and first teen in the home, plays QB for Cambridge Feeder and loves working on his brand sponsorship and social media presence. 

“He is the definition of an oldest child,” says Kimberly. “He is a responsible, driven, analytical, rule-enforcing 13 year old.”

The middle child, Thomas, is an easy-go-lucky, down to earth, kind, relaxed 5th grader, according to mom.

“He also plays football but his passion is gaming,” says Kimberly. “He’s been selected to compete on many platforms, as well as being asked to participate in game testing.”

And then there’s the princess of the family, Victoria, the youngest and only girl.

“Her brothers watch over her like hawks,” says Kimberly. “God bless her, she’ll probably never have a boyfriend or go out on a date, lol! This year she has successfully gained an entertainment agent, and has been asked to participate in several jobs this past year, like New York fashion week, several print and television ads, and multiple social media collaborations. Having been in the business personally my entire childhood, I’m very cautious of what she gets to accept. But she is enjoying it all!”

With careers that take them all over the world, The Littlehales know how to juggle work and family fun.

Phillip is EVP & CIO of platform engineering for Global Payments, a Fortune 500 and locally headquartered company. Before joining the corporate world, Phillip served as a British soldier for eight years with 2 tours of duty in Afghanistan and several others in Britain and the Middle East. He also played professional rugby for England and earned a cap!

Kimberly is a financial analyst turned mom turned author. A published author with seven books published worldwide and two thousand copies sold online/in store, Kimberly is excited about her new releases coming this summer.

“Currently two of my books are geared towards self help as visually engaging books for teens. Three books are related pieces that are geared towards elementary aged girls who love rhyming books, with unicorns, mermaids, and fairies. And two books are educational in nature, age appropriate for elementary aged students,” says Kimberly.

Kimberly is also publishing her first adult nonfiction pieces. Families of Faith, When The Bubbles Stop, and The Things Moms Do, are books Kimberly has been working on for years and she’s excited to see them go to print.

As if the Littlehales family wasn’t busy enough, life got even more full when they added two beastie boys to the house!

“We have two fur kids, Ace and Zeus. They are Siberian Husky litter brothers,” says Kimberly. “We adopted them October of 2023 and it’s been a crazy life ever since. They try to escape daily even though we feed them copious amounts of bones and treats. They like to jump on our trampoline, swim in our pool, dig holes in our grass, and talk and yell loudly at every opportunity. Our kids are in love with these fluff balls and they bring daily smiles to all of us!”

While the Littlehales enjoy traveling, some of the best days are spent right at home. 

When the Littlehales do leave the neighborhood, Crabapple is a favorite whether it’s The Olde Blind Dog, Milton’s, Campania, or the new Lily Sushi.

The White Columns Country Club is also a favorite hangout. The Littlehales enjoy celebrating birthdays there and enjoying time with friends and family.

“We often sit on the patio, watching the beautiful sunset sky over the golf course. It’s just such a great environment,” says Kimberly.

Kimberly loves being social and as a White Columns HOA Board Member in charge of social engagement and community affairs, she makes certain there is always something for her neighbors to get involved in.

“I enjoy helping our social media presence, and planning our community activities,” says Kimberly. “I also enjoy organizing and helping with the college banners, social committee, welcome committee, spring fling, nights of lights holiday party and more!”

The Littlehales have created a beautiful life in a beautiful community and continue to put others first while spreading kindness.

“It’s a beautiful community with some amazing people,” says Kimberly. “I love the feeling of security when I sleep and happiness when I wake and the feeling of friendship and fun during the day. Overall, White Columns is a place like none other. It’s truly home.”

Thank you Littlehales Family, for welcoming Stroll White Columns into your home to share your family's special story!
