Ruling My Roost

Hi! I’m Alison and I’m the proud wife of an amazing man, Mathias, and proud mother of two wonderful kiddos. My oldest, Severin, is 2 1/2 and my youngest, Elsie, is two months. Life is crazy, beautiful, and totally exhausting. In this blog you will get a glimpse into my personal life: the good, the bad, and everything in between. As a disclaimer: I’m not a “Pinterest mom”. If you’re looking for a place to find crafty ideas for cute snacks, themed outfits, and how to rock your kids next pre-school party with nothing less than homemade Santa cupcakes- this is not where you’re going to find what you want. However, if you’re looking for “best wine to drink after toddler throws 22 tantrums before dinner” I’m your girl. I’m a hot mess mom: I procrastinate, my laundry pile could rival the Duggars, I’m damn near always running late, and I’m pretty positive my life would fall apart without caffeine. And even though I don’t think I’ve slept 8 hours straight in over two years, I wouldn’t change a thing. I’m blessed and happy and thankful.  I hope you enjoy reading about my struggles, successes, and honest views on motherhood, adulting, and life in general.
