About Me

I’m Alex and I write a blog. I write a blog that I would like to say is mostly a lifestyle blog by a woman who happens to be a wife & mother. Would I say I’m just a mommy blog? No. Would I say I’m all lifestyle? No. But here’s what I do blog about.

Before The Baby Wakes

I blog a lot of my opinions. Sometimes these opinions are controversial and sometimes just tongue & cheek and lot’s of sarcasm. And that is something I try to put in almost all of my post. Sarcasm. So if you don’t do humor and don’t get it. You might not like my blog.

I also have been dedicating a few days a month to introduce you to my husband & our love story. Which is sometimes sweet & lovely and sometimes ugly & gray.

That’s the other thing. My husband works in the music industry and I’m not going to lie. We get to do some fun things sometimes so I write about fun parties and getting drunk and peeing in a parking lot (Mother of the year anyone?) And now with this most recent recognition I’m a bit of a celebrity now in my own right so I should have some of my own paparazzi ducking tales soon.


For a year & a half I have been pseudo single parent in DC while Shawn was in LA working & having fun. It’s been HARD. But all of this changed in April 2011 when we packed the three of us up & headed West. The original agreement was three months, then it became six. But we signed a years lease. So now I’m preparing my family for it to be longer.

I’m also a major fashion whore and I chronicle my outfits in a segment called So this is what I wore. And every once in a while my husband and son will make an appearance.

If you’re a fashion enthusiast you might also like JCrew is my bitch.

And all in the middle of that are stories about my energetic 2 1/2 year old Phoenix and all of our potty training woes & tantrums taming nightmares. And how I’m coping with being a mother.
