Alexis is a proud born and raised Wisconsin Mom!
Her and her HS sweetheart share a hillside home in the driftless region 30 miles W of Madison and 5 miles from their 4th generation family farm with their two energetic children 3 and 5 year old. They both work in Our beautiful Capital City of Madison but are always happy to return home after a long day! Alexis is a Writer and Event Photographer for Madison Moms Blog and Writer for Live Northerly. Alexis aka “Lexi” enjoys spending time with her family, photography, the outdoors and everything Wisco has to offer! Alexis believes Motherhood, as in Life, can be messy but beautiful and hopes to inspire others to embrace the chaos and celebrate the beauty that surrounds us right here in S. Wisconsin.
