Welcome to Writing With Life In Mind!
Hi there, I’m Jillian—thanks for stopping by. I created this blog over 15 years ago as a place to share life experiences, helpful tips, and practical insights with the goal of informing and inspiring others.
Sharing Life, One Post at a Time
Writing With Life In Mind is a blend of lifestyle content, personal stories, and honest opinion across a variety of topics, including cooking, books, travel, finances, parenting, and more. I share my content in hopes that it resonates with your own path and that you find it useful.
Alongside my blog, I also write poetry. It’s been my way of making sense of things, processing all the feelings and experiences life throws at us. I started writing as a teenager—a time full of awkward moments, big feelings, and everything in between. Even now, writing continues to help me reflect and process life in new ways.
My eBook, Writing With Life In Mind: Poems of Hope, Heart, and Healing, collects poems from my teenage and young adult years and offers raw, honest reflections. Step back in time to the early 2000s and see life through the eyes of a millennial figuring it all out.
Curious? You can explore the full poetry collection here.
My Professional Path
I’m a digital marketing specialist with 15+ years of industry experience. I began my career as a content writer and expanded my skills to include social media, graphic design, reputation management, strategy planning, and performance monitoring. I’ve developed and implemented strategies that help businesses stand out in a crowded digital space, and I look forward to continuing my career by helping clients strengthen their digital footprint.
My Life Behind the Scenes
I’m a diehard Philly sports fan, happily married to my husband—who roots for rival teams. We’re parents to two adventurous, curious little ones who keep us on our toes and remind us to slow down and soak up every moment. We also have two rambunctious, overly loving dogs who keep life lively with their goofy antics.
I have a passion for photographing nature, landscapes, and places, with a focus on color, texture, and the details that make each scene unique. If you’d like to explore my work, you can visit my photography page here.
I also love getting lost in a good book and getting creative in the kitchen. On the blog, you can share your favorite books or submit a recipe you love, and I feature them for others to discover. It’s a fun way to swap ideas, explore new favorites, and connect over shared passions!
I’m a Golden Girls and I Love Lucy superfan, adore all things fall, and am dedicated to staying healthy, with fitness as a steady part of my routine.
Follow along as I navigate this crazy adventure called life! If you have questions or just want to connect, feel free to reach out—I’d love to hear from you.
