Welcome!

Hey, thanks for joining me!  My name is Alyssa, I am a wife, mom, lover of all things health, fitness and food!  I am a bit of  nerd with a bachelors in Biology and Chemistry.  My favorite focus during school was anything Microbiology, A&P, Nutrition, Biochem and all things health related.

I am currently in what I feel is the most exciting, meaningful and at times exhausting journey in my life as a stay at home mom of two beautiful little people!  My daughter is 5 and starting kindergarten next week! I am so excited to see her grow and learn.  She is an extrovert, friendly, smart, energetic and fearless!  My son is 3 and also starting two half days of preschool next week!  He is the sweetest, most caring, loving and precious little boy!  I am also the mom to two fur babies Bear and Roo.  They are both male Yorkies, father and son ages 9 and 7!

I absolutely can not leave out my most important role, a wife!  I am married to my high school sweetheart!  He is my best friend and favorite person of all.  The first time we dated goes back to 2002!  We were off and on a bit while growing through high school and the first couple years of college and have been together ever since 2006!  My daughter is very much like her daddy!  They are both outgoing, energetic, often at times a little too loud but have the biggest hearts.  He is the hardest worker I have ever met and an amazing provider for our little family.

So welcome to our family!  I am so excited to be starting this blog!  I have always enjoyed reading and keeping up with a handful of bloggers and with the kids both starting school I now have some time to start my own.  I am going to be posting about the things I enjoy most in life!  My family, favorite recipes, product reviews, health and fitness plus tips I find useful in my life!
