    Meet Mitzie! If you don’t already know her, get ready to fall in love! Mitzie is a Shih Tzu and turned five at the beginning of July. She is 7.3 lbs and so fluffy and I could not love her more if I tried. She loves chicken, guests, watching the neighbors, and going for car…

    I have always loved to read. In 2022 I made it a goal to read 52 books (read more about that journey here!). A few years ago a friend told me about an app called Libby. Libby is a free app that gives you access to audio and digital books via the library. At first,…

    We love 4Rivers BBQ. Leading up to Lottie’s birth, we went there almost every Friday night. The food is always good, it’s not expensive, and there are always empty tables. I always order a kid’s meal, so my meal is extra cheap. On Monday nights, kid’s meals are free with the purchase of an adult…

    Last night we had our besties, Gaylen and Jacob over for dinner and game night. The absolute best news is now out in the world…they are expecting and it is a GIRL!!! We could not be happier for them. It is so fun to talk all things baby and pregnancy. They have loved on Lottie…

    Matt and I’s offices are only about five minutes apart, but we almost never meet for lunch. I typically pack my lunch and eat with the office bestie and Matt either packs his lunch or gets something quick downtown. Yesterday we were completely out of food to pack for lunch, so we knew we would…

    August Scaries?

    Recently, I saw this phrase for the first time. It’s a play-off of “Sunday Scaries” where you get sad that the weekend is over and start prepping for the week ahead. Similarly, August Scaries means that you fall into an end-of-summer slump and start getting into a routine with a new school year ahead.  This…

    This robe might be one of my favorite things I own! In general, I have not been a big robe person, but when I was pregnant, I thought I might want one for postpartum.  When I was in middle school, I read a book about a girl who received a long, peach-colored robe for her…

    I am so thankful for my church. Matt and I have been attending South Tampa Fellowship for over five years now, and we love it. The worship was incredible and the message was so timely. We talked about how we should love Jesus because He is Jesus, not just for the things that He gives…

    I love magazines. I love opening the mailbox and seeing it rolled up. I love reading the articles and looking through the pictueres. Magazines are so nostalgic to me and remind me of days where you would cut out pictures for a craft or cut out recipes to try. In college I had a subscription…

    why joyfulleigh?

    I wanted a place to exercise creativity, find connection, and record each season. When thinking about my vision for this space, I knew I wanted it to be positive and real. While I want to share my heart and be true to reality, I want to purposefully view each day through a lens of positivity. …
