Allison Gardner

My identity is rooted in Christ. He is the foundation on which my life is built and I say that here as reminder to myself that all of this exists to honor this life He has given me.

I am a wife to the playful father of my children, the golfer and Lakers/Bears/Dodgers fan-Russell.

I am a mother to Nolan (who loves animals and cars) and soon-to-be Zoe (who will love princesses and glitter), arriving in Feb 2023.

I am a 6th grade teacher who is passionate about connecting with students and engaging them in learning experiences that leave a lasting impact.

I am a reader who struggles to focus on fiction in this current season of life but who could reread the first chapter of The Fellowship of the Ring over and over and over again.

I am a reluctant runner who never thought she’d do a 5k and has now completed several half marathons and even one full marathon.

I am 32 years old and FINALLY have a skincare+beauty routine that I love.

This is who I am and what you’ll find here. 💖 Thanks for popping by.
