Hi, 

I’m Alissa! Welcome to the cozy corner where I document the sweet chaos of building a life I love—from running my own boutique to planning my next Disney trip. This blog is my space for sharing unfiltered stories, photo inspo, and the lessons learned since leaving the classroom to pursue my passions full-time.

For six years, I was an elementary school teacher, but this year I made the leap! I’ve gone all-in on my online boutique, Alyssum and Co., where I curate clothing that will last in your closet for seasons to come (you can check it out here alyssumandco.com). Since taking this business full-time, it’s been an incredible journey of growth, and I love sharing the behind-the-scenes reality of entrepreneurship.

When I’m not packing orders, you can probably find me at Magic Kingdom. Yes, I’m a Passholder and a certified Disney Adult (don’t worry, I keep the obsession relatively tame). I’m thrilled to share my best-kept WDW tips, inspiration, and honest reviews to help you plan your most magical vacation. 

You’ll also find me talking a little about fitness! As an ex-cheerleader and coach, I still have a love for the sport and will be sharing tips to help girls make their cheerleading teams.

Whether you’re here for small business advice, Disney magic, or a boost of fitness inspiration, I hope you find something useful, entertaining, or just plain cozy. I’m so glad you’re here—click over to my latest post, or drop a comment below and tell me what your favorite Disney trip has been?

Sincerely, Alissa
