With three kids, two demanding jobs, a high-spirited dog and podcasting projects, how do Page and Jake Fehling make it work?
It’s a scorching Friday afternoon in Marvin, North Carolina. The kids are at camp, so it’s quiet at the Fehling house. Phyllis, the family’s rescue dog, runs in the room, barking and breaking the calm. She’s a rambunctious 2-year-old with the energy to match the Fehling family of five.
Page and Jake Fehling live in on a family compound at the end of a long, fence-lined drive surrounded by other family members.
“Crawfish!” Jake Fehling cries out. He tugs open the sliding-glass door and enters the living room. “They found four more.” The pool cleaner skims a net across the water and fishes out the unwelcomed guests. “Page’s brother stocks the lake next to his house with crawfish to feed his bass,” Jake explains. “They’re making their way into pools in the neighborhood.”
It’s Friday at the Fehlings’.
Big Personalities With Jobs to Match
On the Friday after the Fourth of July, 10-year-old Ford, Cal, 9, and June, who’s 6, are all at day camp. Jake had crossed his fingers for a family trip to Williamsburg, Virginia, but for Page Fehling, duty called. The whole family celebrated at the uptown SkyShow fireworks show at BB&T Ballpark.
Co-host of Good Day Charlotte on Charlotte’s Fox 46 station, Page brings the same news-anchor level of energy to her home life. Jake works as a vice president of marketing for Page’s brother’s company, Movement Mortgage. They’re both vibrant personalities who have found careers to match. She talks fast, but he keeps up, and they keep it light, joking with each other often.

A Cool Girl's Bedroom
WHEN DESIGNER JACY PAINTER KELLY, owner of Jacy Painter Kelly Interiors, took her family to New York City last summer, her 10-year-old daughter Lucy went crazy for the cool urban vibe of their downtown hotel room. It gave Lucy the itch to makeover her own bedroom in their Fort Mill home. She wanted more mature accents like silver wall sconces and velvet pillows, paired with punk rock elements like a graffiti-inspired bed frame and pink neon sign. Luckily her designer mom knew exactly how to tie it all together.
