Hello, internet! Welcome.
To what, you ask? Well, if you’re looking for a blog with no theme in sight and all of the random thoughts of a new mom, an American living in Canada, trying to make fitness a lifestyle, or a wife with a husband in the restaurant industry, (just to name a few of the random topics I write about in my head) well then you’ve come to the right page on the internet.
While on my 18-month parental leave, I have found myself with all of the purpose (hello 9 month old baby) and yet also without structured purpose. I’ve seen a lot of advice in my (literal) hundreds of Google searches for “stay at home mom jobs” that point to starting a blog.
This being my first post, maybe an in depth introduction is in order. My name is Alexis, but if you hadn’t gathered that at this stage in the game 😬. I’m an American living with Permanent Residence in Canada with my Canadian husband, our now 9 month old daughter, and our two cats Cadwell and Lilly. I brought in the cats, they’re an old lady an old man who’ve been in my life for almost 14 years now. As I mentioned, I’m on parental leave, which you can bet your a$& (oh yeah, there’ll be some censored swearing here) I took the full 18 month option for – the American in me couldn’t have taken any less because, Why. Not.
Prior to my leave I was with Starbucks as an SSV (that’s sbux secret code for ‘shift supervisor’), prior to the pandemic, I was in the Restaurant industry, and prior to my move to Canada, I was in the Dog Walking industry with a business of my own in Colorado.
I’ve got some mom humor, some parent hacking, some fitness goal setting, some cleaning/de-cluttering, and some plain old love for the universe to share with whomever it is that actually ends up here! Thanks for joining, welcome to the chaos in my brain!
