A modest intro

Hi, I'm Alex and I, as per usual have been over thinking.

I know this is just another blog in a sea of a trillion but I've rough drafted more than several "First Posts" as if my very life and credibility depended on it and in the end...it's just another blog in a sea of a trillion. And so like many "firsts" in life I'm just going to get it over with. :)


This is my family.

My husband, Ben, who brings home the bacon and our two beautiful offspring/partners in crime/comedy duo, Zoe, 5, and Jaida, 4, who keep me laughing and who ground me to what is really important in this world.


Everything I do is for these three humans. The loves of my life.


This month marks my one year anniversary as a seller on Etsy and even though my time is always constrained, I figured I could at the very least use blogging as a way to let my sweet customers get a sneak preview of products before shop updates! Also, I really wanted to have a place to go and just talk about non-work-related stuff, vent about things, talk about my kids, post about current favorite Etsy offerings, movies, books, so here it is...my official outlet.

  2. Awww, thanks so much Michelle! I really don't have any blogs that I go to on a regular basis (only because of time issues) so I'm not even sure how to "blog", so let me apologize in advance for future bad grammar and witless posts. I wondered if anyone would visit so thanks so much for stopping by! :D
