Hello there,

We are the Allen’s and we are trying our hand at blogging, well at least M is. We are perfectly common folk, with a little splash of magic here and there. Dinner is never on time, we are not routine people and the littlest guy is naked 80% of the day. Music, stories and recitals fill our home. We dream of days of MySpace and landline phone calls, but here in this small town those 2 things are most certainly still happening.

M. loves all things witchy, writing poetry and wearing “hipster” hats, but hates Weezer’s rendition of Africa that comes on the radio 4 times a day. She also has an Etsy shop, Lovely Little dolls, where she sells handcrafted paper dolls. Kyle, is a pharmacist by day, Vampire by night. He specializes in almost being the raddest dude around. He skateboards, snowboards, rock climbs, is into archery but never wants to be THAT good in one specific thing. Sage is a dancer and a friend. Growing up is tough when you are unapologetically yourself and she is trying to navigate that. Ian is our little bear, his diet consists of berries and meat. His nemesis are shoes and pants.

Welcome to our little piece of the internet where we will share the life of 4 (soon 5) typical people. There is something exceptional about the ordinary and we are here to share that.
