Leigh, born and raised in North Carolina, is a former TV journalist and marketing executive who established her own website, The HinesSightBlog, in 2011 after having her last child at the age of 40. Even though she started her blog with the play on words (Hind-Sight) in order to keep a professional online portfolio as a new stay-at-home Mom, her website gave her a new digital career. Now at 50, while most of her college friends are becoming empty-nesters and grandparents, Leigh juggles family and career with a focus of travel, food, hotels, beauty and southern life on her website. In 2015, she developed the popular #OutaboutNC community on Instagram to focus on the state she knows so well. Leigh is active in the Raleigh community where she resides and has recently become an advocate for pet adoption. Andy, a charming senior toy poodle, joined her family two years ago making Leigh a first-time dog owner.
