About

Welcome! I'm Reghan.

I'm 26 years old. I live in Oklahoma with my husband, Justin, and our babies, Maya and Max.

I was 19 when Justin and I got married in June of 2010. Getting married so young has presented us with unique challenges that I look forward to being grateful for someday. Motherhood is an equally challenging experience that brings me a constant flow of emotion, be it joy or otherwise, and a never-ending source of writing material.

Pregnancy and the birth of my daughter brought with it postpartum depression, with which I have struggled since. This shaped my experience just like anything else. I write about it occasionally, among other things, but writing at all may have played a huge part in managing my depression.

I've always considered myself an artist. Over the years, I've spent a lot of time painting and chalking, but the truth is that I'm not that good at it. Maybe I've made a few great pieces in my entire life, but writing is my real gig. And I don't care if I'm good at that.

When I'm not busy being supermom or writing, I like to daydream about going on a cruise and eating whatever I want, whenever I want. I enjoy drinking sweet tea, trying to be an active church member, exercising, interacting with people, and laughing (loudly, usually). I suffer from what I refer to as "chronic empathy" as a result of being an overall intense person, so I've never watched The Notebook and I don't intend to.

...And that's all I have to say about that.
