{about me}

i’m alexis. here’s what you need to know:

i am 29 (at the moment, at least).

i have been married for ten years (so far).

i have two boys, and they are beautiful. i may or may not want to have more children, depending on the day (or the minute).

i was born in north carolina, but only lived there for a few months. i’ve also lived in california, new york, connecticut, utah, england, and hawaii. i went to fifteen schools before i went to college.

i am half puerto-rican, 1/4 samoan, and 1/4 white. this means my skin is brown but i also have freckles.

i started this blog as a way to work through postpartum depression, but over the years it has evolved into a creative outlet for me, and it’s also become a way to make friends with a lot of interesting people i wouldn’t otherwise be able to meet.

my favorite ice cream is cookies n cream, but i prefer cupcakes.

i will have the same best friends till i die, but i’m always open to making more.

i have a lipgloss addiction. it sounds shallow, but…well, it’s kind of shallow.

i am a graduate student at brigham young university, getting a master’s of english literature (i’m emphasizing in rhetoric).

i used to have a unibrow but over the years i have plucked it into submission. there are two of them now, and they are very well behaved.

i am a dietsodaholic (diet pepsi, to be precise).

i love to sleep but am an insomniac.

i don’t like shoes because many shoe companies discriminate against my hideously large feet.

it’s good that i don’t like shoes because i loooooove purses. expensive ones that are large enough to smuggle a baby monkey into the country.

my husband is the love of my life, and i’m not trying to make anyone vomit in their mouths, but i can’t imagine life without him.

so that’s me in a nutshell. if you have any questions for me, fill out the form below. i’ll get back to you in a jiff.
