For I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
-Psalms 139:14
Welcome to Simply J.Leigh
I’m Jennifer Leigh. A wife and mother of three precious boys. Becoming a mother undeniably changed my life for the better and my boys are my motivation to work harder every single day.
I’m a Houston, Texas native, but moved to Nashville at 16 to attend college at Belmont University (yes I started college at 16 🤓). There I received my Bachelor’s of Business Administration and shortly after received my Master’s of Human Resources at Lipscomb University. I made Nashville home for eight years before deciding to take a faith journey and move to the DMV. I now live in Northern Virginia and have built a wonderful life here with my little family!
I’ve established a career in HR, specializing in Global Learning & Leadership Development.
I’ve been both a corporate mommy and a stay at home mommy, but in spite of the accomplishments I’ve had in my life and career thus far, I’ve had this nagging feeling that I need to be doing more! Like God is leading me to now utilize my gifts for His purpose.
I have always had a strong love for writing. I've been writing since I was seven years old - poetry, songs, short children’s stories, journaling, you name it. Writing has always been my release.
Starting a blog was on my to-do list for YEARS, and finally God said, “It’s time!”
I truly want this outlet to emulate me, in the rawest way. I want to be able to use this an avenue to express myself and release some of the most inner parts of me. To share my stories on pregnancy, motherhood, marriage, and the ministry that God has led to me to. I want my blog to show just how beautifully flawed I am. And if someone can connect to this, then even better.
With that being said, I hope you enjoy my posts, and that this can potentially become an outlet for anyone, especially women to be uplifted or gain insight on motherhood, marriage, and so much more.
Most importantly, I want this to be an outlet to be authentically me, in its simplest form.
🤍Simply J. Leigh.
