ALY ANSWERS THE FIVE W's

Who are you? 

A taxi driver, chef, stylist, cleaning & laundry specialist, nurse assistant, professional organizer & teacher (read: mother). I am also a wife, a scrapbooker, a cardmaker, a paper crafter, a woman of faith, a daughter, a sister, a friend.

What do you believe with all of your heart? 

We all have something special in us that we can share with others—and sharing that "something special" brings us true joy.

When did you know that this was your path? 

I have always loved scrapbooking and recording our family story, but I'm grateful that through this hobby-turned-job I am able to work from home and be there for my kiddos.

Where do you go to be inspired? 

Pinterest.

Why do you love your life? 

How could I not love my life? I am blessed with a wonderful husband and kids, with good health, with a beautiful place to call home, and with everything I need.

How do you do everything you do? 

I focus, work hard, stay up late, play hard, and rely on iGoogle. I think I'm going to die when it goes away in November...
