The Adventures of a 40-something-year-old With No Clue Or Direction
Like most normal people right now, my little familia is feeling the hit of inflation more than usual. I used to love going grocery shopping. Now it’s kind of painful (each trip is at least $100). The cost of stuff has gone up so much these past few months. We've stopped eating out as much... Continue Reading →
This past Tuesday I turned 43 years old, y’all! And it was the BEST DAY EVER! For starters, we got to have a snow day around here. That meant I got to take it easy and hang out with my little familia all day! Aria woke up way too early because she was excited to... Continue Reading →
Last year right about this time, I was broken. I lost who I thought I was. I lost my muchness. I allowed others to dull my shine because I was looking for validation. I started 2022 just trying to keep my head above the water and it ended up being a year of survival. Seriously,... Continue Reading →
For the past few years, Vince and his bowling buddies have been traveling to Tulsa, Oklahoma for a big tournament, the Greater Tulsa Open, in which they participate in every December. In 2020, Aria and I got to go for the first time. It was such a fun trip, but I was a little sick.... Continue Reading →
I haven’t done an Alley Food post in a long time! Mostly because I've been too crazy busy to join Husband on his bowling ventures.

Today marks 11 years of marriage for me and my mister. Every day is everything because I have him in my life. I’m truly fortunate to do life with Mr. Alexander. He’s my person. Annual Anniversary selfie! Taquitos, Mr. Alexander!
Where do I start? This month and a half of being unemployed has been the best reset ever! I've been crazy busy between my continuing ed class, getting Aria's school year wrapped up, and all things in between. But honestly, I've having such a good time! This is what life should be like! Besides wrapping... Continue Reading →
Last year, a photography student asked me if my family would model for one of her assignments? At first I was like, "No! I hate the way I look!" Then I remembered all the things I tell my own clients like: You need to leave photos for your future generations. Your children will only look... Continue Reading →
You guys, I just don’t know what I’d do without my husband. I say that a lot around here and I truly mean it. Today, Aria and I just had a bad day. We’re both just sitting here crying with our confidence in the gutter. Then there’s Vince, just taking care of us. Being the... Continue Reading →
