I’m at a point in my life where I just want to be comfortable. Sure I still like to dress up, do my make up, get my hair and nails done, and show off sometimes, but let’s be honest, that’s not always comfortable. I’m at a point in my career where I care more about […]

June 5, 2015 by Alison Leave a Comment

I was going to write a post about a dress…but there was so much more I wanted to write about because it’s been kind of a whirlwind week. Lots happening and even more stuff that’s about to happen in upcoming days and weeks – a bit overwhelming, a bit exciting, and even a little bit […]

The Day I Almost Gave Up – Living With Chronic Pain

April 10, 2015 by Alison 7 Comments

I pride myself in being strong, and toughing things out and not whining and really just dealing with life with an optimistic attitude and not letting things get me down. That’s why yesterday…yesterday was a tough day for me. It was the day that I finally admitted defeat, I broke and I cried…I actually cried […]

My Obsession With Serial Killers

February 2, 2015 by Alison 13 Comments

Yes, you heard me right, I have an obsession with serial killers. Weird right? My husband teases me a lot about it, but trust me, it’s totally okay; your kids can still play with my kids. Okay so I suppose I should explain that my obsession is not a creepy, lusty, sexual, type of obsession. […]
