Alice

I became a mom 2 months early!

About Me


I've got a penchant for bourbon 'n dirt roads.
I heart films, music, amazing food, lotsa wine, big dogs, little birds and finding any excuse to go out or just "go" in general.
Great cook, bad housekeeper.
Infatuated with the haunting sounds of pedal steel guitar, violins, trumpets, and trains.
I value my friendships above all things. !
