Well, there are a lot of new faces so I figured I should have a little reintroduction post. I’m Holly, the face behind Holler & Nem. I was born and raised in Limestone County, AL with deep roots near the Singing River of The Shoals.
I’m a saved sinner, married to my favorite human & best friend Jesse, and mother of our four wild youngins. I love reading, singing, creating, and learning. I’m a lifelong student of just about anything but love The Bible, history and creative processes.

I started Holler & Nem to celebrate my love of the South & Appalachia and also to help support my goal of homeschooling my brood for as long as the Good Lord sees fit.

Love yer neighbors and mind yer manners!

Not my usual content but I just feel the need to share.

To the parents raising children with type 1 diabetes:
you are doing better than you think. 🤍

Two of my four children live with T1D, and I’m still learning every single day. I’m not a perfect T1D mama, there are hard days, long nights, alarms, worry, and moments when I feel like I’m back in the newborn fog again.

There are so many misconceptions about this disease, but please hear this: it is not your fault. You did not cause your child’s type 1 diabetes, and neither did they.

What we can do is keep showing up. We can learn, advocate, ask questions, count carbs, change sites, respond to the highs and lows, and give our children the knowledge and confidence they need to care for themselves as they grow.

Some days will feel heavy, but you are not alone, and everything is going to be okay. One day, one number, one meal, one night at a time. 💙

Live your life because who gives a big whoop!?
