Welcome to Life In the MotherShip!
Mama, I’m so glad you’ve joined us!
I’m Alycia. Jesus Girl. Wife of Victor. Mama of 6 awesome kids (step, bio, and foster/adopted) + 3 fur babies.
In my day job, I coach new writers who need help getting started on their writing journey and use my mad editing skills to help their stories stand out in the crowd. I also craft for my Etsy shop, Story Inspirations.
And in my other job, I feed and parent three young adults and let the dogs in and out of the house too many times in a day.
I blog here at Life In the MotherShip about the complexities of faith, life’s joys and heartbreaks, and the beauty of family relationships. My hope is to help you find peace and joy in the chaos and grief of everyday motherhood.
Come pull up a seat, grab your go-to drink (no judgement here), and let’s hold sacred space together!
