    “I don’t know who needs to hear this, but wash your hands and wear a mask” by guest blogger Josh

    Hi, hi, Leigh Ann here for just a second. I cannot stress enough the importance of today’s post. As Covid-19 cases have been spiking all across America, I feel that it’s really important for stories like this one to be on your radar. You’re about to hear from Josh, one of my very best friends. My…

    Listen, learn, and shout!

    Hi, and welcome back to your regularly scheduled content 2020 is an absolute shit show. What even is regular, normal, usual anything? The last three weeks have been eye opening to say the least. A global pandemic had nothing on the smack-you-in-the-face reality that racism is still alive and well in this country, and it’s…

    Time To Do The Work

    Today’s planned post was light and altogether out of place right now. But, I’ve got to say something. Gosh, the world is so so heavy right now. Right outside our doors is a scary place. And while the pandemic is unprecedented, what happened to George Floyd is unfortunately not. Again, it’s very tragically not uncharted…

    Real It ‘Til You Feel It

    This is my new, somewhat lame, but still rhyming take on fake it ’til you make it. And no, I’m not bashing fake it ’til you make it. It works wonders in a number of situations that include, but are not limited to: Being nice to someone who gets on your nerves because you don’t…

  • Hello From Quarantine

    Hello From Quarantine

    Happy Memorial Day, fam! It’s been a while. I hope you’re all doing well during this truly strange time. Long story short, our household is doing okay. We’re all homebodies by nature, so other than wanting to do house projects and being too afraid to go to Home Depot, we’re kind of peachy. Well, as…

    2020: A Lesson In Intentionality

    Alternative titles include but are not limited to: 2020: WTF? 2020: Let Me Out 2020: Where is 2021, already? Let me just apply a disclaimer to this post… What’s about to follow may imply that I’m cool as a cucumber about what’s going on in the world, and that I’m handling it completely rationally (this…

    Thirty-Fun Facts About Me

    Hey, hey! It’s my birthday! There are some new faces here that have joined me since blogmas, and somehow, in my post-blogmas hiatus. What better day for me to introduce myself than my birthday? If you’re new around here, hi, hello. I appreciate you, and your reading this post is literally part of making my…

    January Favorites

    Preparing for a comeback, haha. Seriously, Blogmas is so super motivating and really gets you in the blogging headspace, but it simultaneously drains you of all your writing energy, a true double edged sword. That, and life is kicking my ass, but whatever. Seeing as we’re only slightly past the halfway mark through February (thank…

  • Book Review: The Girls’ Guide to Hunting and Fishing by Melissa Bank

    Book Review: The Girls’ Guide to Hunting and Fishing by Melissa Bank

    I’m off to a great start on that 2020 goal of reading 12 books and have already finished my first of the year, The Girls’ Guide to Hunting and Fishing by Melissa Bank. I’ve had this book for a seriously long time (I got it at Borders… are they done for?), and dug it out…

  • New Year, Same Me (but better, I hope)

    New Year, Same Me (but better, I hope)

    New year, time for some resolutions. Mental health, first. That’s easier said than done because I truly believe that good mental health involves pretty consistent commitment to all of the quintessential resolutions. So, in putting my mental health first, I’m also prioritizing the following goals and living by the cliche, “You have to love yourself…
