hello + welcome
I’m Allison, the girl behind the words (and pictures) of this little blog. I’m married to an amazing guy named Christian, and together we have two beautiful daughters, Hadley & Everly. Having two kids under two can be a little crazy at times, but we love it.
In fact, I like life to be a little busy. In addition to growing + raising my little family, I’m also in the process of completing my third year of grad school for school counseling. I have a passion for helping others (especially kids) solve problems and reach their potential. I will graduate in May and hopefully find a job at a nearby elementary school so I can put everything I’ve been working on the past 3 years to use!
I also have a passion for photography and have recently begun taking workshops and focusing on cultivating those skills. I love telling stories through photos and the endless possibilities that editing provides to the life of the photo. You can also find me DIY-ing my latest home or craft project (I taught myself how to sew and I love it), watching Real Housewives, or working out to lose this baby weight! Some other things about me…
I get just as excited for holidays + snow days as I did when I was a kid.
I’m trying to become a minimalist but let’s be honest…I love shopping too much.
Target is everything.
Coffee is the light of my life (after my kids, of course).
I started every little joy as a way to document mommyhood because its so easy to miss moments in this fast-paced world. It’s important to stop and recognize the JOY! Having kids has changed my life so much and there have been so many experiences, good and bad, that I never want to forget (except for maybe a few of the really bad ones). I journaled ALOT throughout my pregnancies and although I love going back and reading my entries, its not as convenient as online, and moreover, I want pictures there to tell the story too! You can read more about how I got started and where the blog name comes from here. This blog will document all kinds of adventures and every little joy along the way. Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoy your time here + visit again soon.
