This will be my first ever blog post! Full disclosure…I’m a rambler and my grammar might not be the best. I just thought that I have things I think about and would like to discuss. I’ve been thinking about pulling the trigger on this blog thing for awhile. I even asked my friend, Jo the web designer, where she thought I should start but I’ve been dragging my feet. As you get to know me you will see I do that at times.

So let me give you the quick and dirty on me in case you are “meeting” me for the first time. My name is Allison and I’m the mother of boy/girl twins that will be 8 in February. They are affectionately referred to as the “twinkies.” I’ve been married 17 years to my hubby, “Marathon Man.” Oh and he is super fast!  We have the cutest dog, Charlie. I’m from the south but live in the Chicagoland area for the last 10 years and love it!  I’m a Stay at Home Mom. I had a long rode to becoming a mother with fertility struggles so am enjoying every moment of their growth. I volunteer at their school every chance I get. I’m a runner and triathlete…true story and equally surprising to my longtime friends and myself as well. More to come, stay tuned…
