2020 Pledge Committee member Mary Alayne LongDonate Through Mary Alayne – The Alabama Housewife’s 3/21 Pledge Page Here!

Please feel free to call me Mary Alayne—unless we are blood related or you’ve known me since childhood, in which case I will always be “Layne.” I am a loving mother, a clever housewife, a Southern storyteller, an accidental comedian and an amateur sleuth. When I’m not cleaning, cooking or hanging drapes somewhere in my house, I spend most of my time writing and following a strict “Humorous, Heartfelt or Helpful” rule for the tales I tell. I love to make people laugh—and think—so I use my voice in print and in person to share funny, familiar stories of Southern life, all while seeking to raise awareness and support for various nonprofit groups along the way. You can follow my unpredictable adventures on Instagram @thealabamahousewife.
