Ryan is a true-blue Texas girl, married to her high school sweetheart and mommy to a crazy-haired two year-old named Grace. By day she is a patent litigation attorney, and by night she moonlights as a fort maker, boo-boo kisser, and short-order cook. Ryan's life is generally a hazy jumble of brief writing and snack dispensing, but in her spare time, she enjoys Mexican food, Pottery Barn, and Friends re-runs. You can read more about her adventures at loved & lovely, and she has been known to post a picture or seven on Instagram at @lovedandlovelyblog.
