About Me

Hey there, I’m Lindsey and I’m so excited for you to join me on this new endeavor.

A little about me, I’m a journalist by trade, early in my career I wrote for newspapers, contributed to online publications and even spent a few years in front of a camera as a reporter and evening news anchor.

Fast forward more than a decade and now you will find me firmly (though reluctantly) planted in Ohio. Most days, I’m juggling life with my two boys, dreaming about my next big adventure, and learning (sometimes the hard way) what it means to grow into the best version of myself.

I by no means have it all figured out, but I know a guy… and I’m hoping that through prayer, faith, and a lot of grace, I’ll learn to walk in step with God’s plan instead of racing ahead with my own. My hope is that by sharing my story, the wins, the stumbles, and everything in between, you’ll find encouragement to embrace your own journey with authenticity and courage.

About My Blog

I’ve had it on my heart to start a blog for over a decade and here we are! The New Year’s Resolution goal setter in me will be so proud! Dreams & Detours is my little corner of the internet where I share thoughts, stories, and inspiration from this wild ride called life.

The name says it all: this is about both the big dreams we chase and the detours we never saw coming. Sometimes the plan changes, sometimes we wander, and sometimes the most meaningful growth happens in the unexpected.

Here you’ll find:

  • Honest reflections on personal growth and faith
  • Travel stories and everyday adventures
  • Lessons from love, relationships, and parenting
  • Inspiration for living with passion, purpose, and grace

This space isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about growing, staying curious, and becoming more of who we were created to be.

If you’re into real talk, soft places to land, and the occasional dream about a pink barn full of miniature goats—you’re in the right place.
