Publisher: Doahleigh - Home

Things you might be wondering: What does Doahleigh mean? It’s a combination of a nickname and my middle name. Dad calls me Shannondoah (as in Shenandoah…the valley, the river) or just Doah. My middle name is Leigh, which I long held a grudge against for being boring, but I eventually embraced it and even honored it in my blog title! Where you at? We live in West Michigan, where my husband and I both grew up. What do you do? I work in the nonprofit sector. And I'm paid as such. We'll leave it at that. Married? Yes! Mike and I got married on June 12, 2010. Read all about it at Shan and Mike. Kids? One daughter who surprises me and brings me joy every day. We call her Mo. She was born in January 2013. We hope to have at least one more if we're so blessed. And we've also always been interested in the idea of adopting. Why do you have Doahleigh? Back in the day I wanted to be a writer. That dream quickly fell apart when I realized I had no motivation to make a living by it. But I still like to string words together occassionally, and this way I get to share my life with family and friends and strangers. I also used to write regularly in a real journal, but the act of putting pen to paper became too tasking. Typing is so much easier!
