Over at Alicia’s Episode One: Who We Are, at Our Core
Welcome friends! I’m SO excited to be launching a brand new project that I’ve been wanting to do for such a long time–a podcast just for YOU! This is Over at Alicia’s Episode One!!

Ya, those days!

And not mama with a little ‘m,’ but YOU–a human being with real live hopes and dreams and interests that don’t always have to revolve around kids!
We’ll meet in your earbuds each Tuesday where we’ll talk about what it means to be a mom at home, creating a calm and inviting space your kids want to come home to, homeschooling, home organization, and more–all without losing ourselves in the shuffle.
