Hey, I’m Summer Leigh! 🌞

Welcome to my little corner of the internet where we celebrate caffeine-powered creativity, cozy kitchens, and cat-curated joy.

What you’ll find here

• Cat Chronicles – daily antics from my two feline supervisors, Finn & Co., who keep me humble (and covered in fur).
• Easy Meals & Meal Planning – realistic recipes, pantry hacks, and printable planners for busy moms who want dinner on the table and time to exhale.
• Good-Vibes Only – mindset resets, gentle productivity tips, and reflections on juggling motherhood, career pivots, and a heart that’s literally been rewired (shout-out to my Warden procedure crew).

A quick backstory

I’m a Colorado-based network engineer turned content creator. After five years orchestrating data-center magic and 130+ SD-WAN deployments, a layoff nudged me toward full-time storytelling. I’m also navigating life with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and congenital heart quirks, so accessibility and self-care show up a lot around here.

Credentials that guide my nerdy side

• B.S. IT, Network Management & M.S. IT, Security Management – Colorado Technical University
• Cisco & Meraki wizardry, Ansible automation tinkerer, former SCRUM master
• Spreadsheet sorceress (formulas, macros, the whole nine cells)
