    About Me

    Meet Alison

    2015-01-04 at 14-44-08

    Hello!

    My name is Alison. I am a writer, entrepreneur, wife, and mom to 3 kids ages 16, 14, and 10. Between my kids and husband there is never a dull moment in our household. Even though I have moved away from my hometown to raise my family, I have lived in Ohio my entire life.  For fun we like to take on new adventures by traveling to various parts of the world either as a family or a getaway for my husband and I.

    I have been writing for the past 4 years sharing my passion of family, lifestyle, solutions, diy, recipes, and more. In those 4 years of writing I published my first eBook in 2012 that is also available on Amazon. I plan on writing more in the future. I have also been featured in several Press & Media opportunities such as All You Magazine, 10TV News, Good Day Columbus, and my local newspaper to name a few.
