About Me

Hello, and welcome to Life in Every Limb!  I’m Leslie Sholly, and you can read below to learn what I consider to be the most important things to know About Me:

  • Catholic (baptized shortly after birth by then-Father and later-Bishop Shea, at Immaculate Conception Church, of which I am still a member)
  • Southern (born in Knoxville, Tennessee, and still here, with a brief interruption during which I attended college at Georgetown University and then got married and lived in Alexandria, Virginia for one year)
  • Wife (for 32 years, to John, a native of Baltimore whom I met at Georgetown)
  • Mother (of fiveEmily (30), Jake (27), Theo (26), William (20) and Lorelei (17))
  • Homemaker (as in, I don’t leave the house to do my work, and I’m in charge of the cooking, and the laundry, and what housework gets done around here, among other things)
  • Legal assistant (to my husband, who practices primarily family law, with a lot of other things thrown in) from our home office, so that I can help with our business (writing letters, talking with clients, keeping time, sending out bills) while remaining at home where we want me to be
  • Sometime writer (formerly a columnist–for eight years–writing on life issues for the local Catholic paper)
  • Occasional editor (helping my mother’s non-profit with grant proposals and other writing/editing tasks)
  • Always busy (writing this blog, running my kids here and there, gardening, snatching time for myself, spending way too much time on Facebook)
