Welcome

Welcome to my blog! I decided to jump on the bandwagon of bloggers. Within this blog, I'll write about anything of interest to me at the time, so you might want to know a bit about me to decide whether or not to follow.

I am a very happily married 30-year old woman and a mom of a beautiful 2 month old girl. I am very close with my family. In May 2010, I graduated from law school and in May 2011, was admitted to practice law in New York State. That being said, I have had trouble finding appropriate employment. Currently, I am seeking part-time or per diem work so that I do not have to put my little girl into daycare.

Now, you should know one thing about me. I love good deals. I coupon clip and check sales, and I truly enjoy this. My father has told me that I will stop this once I am more financially stable (maybe this means having a full-time job?), but that is extremely unlikely. I get a thrill out of getting a good deal. So, my posts will likely include ideas on how YOU can get some of the deals that I get.

Like I mentioned, I gave birth to a wonderful little girl, Mikayla, in April 2011. As a new mom, I find a lot of my thoughts focused around the interests, needs, & goals of young women...most specifically, young women with hopes of having it all: family and career. So you can bet that if you decide to read my blog, you'll get to read about this as well.

A lot of other things interest me: skiing, calligraphy, knitting & crocheting, movies, physical fitness, psychology, making money (ahhh, the stock market, random business ventures, etc... as if no one else wants to make money), law, etc etc etc. So prepare to read about these areas as well.

I should warn you that I often do not censor myself as others do. I tell it like it is, or I simply don't tell it. After having recently been pregnant, I can easily tell you that I often found myself telling those who have never been pregnant about MANY odd (and sometimes downright gross) things that pregnant women go through. People like to censor. I do not. So, I warn you that what you read is how it is, or at least it is how it is in my book.

That's it for now. I hope my "Welcome" post has intrigued you to continue reading.

Truly,
Alyson
