Meet Alexa

Hi, I’m Alexa. Welcome to Alexa Underway!

I’m a wife, a momma, a small business owner, a nursing student, and a blogger. I thrive on goodness and the simplest things in life. I grew up in a very art-inspired home that cultivated in me an immense love of all things creative. Photography and design are my niches, but I also love writing and house projects. One of my life mottos is to try everything at least once. Travel is one of my most favorite things. I love culture and I love people’s stories. I find that the best way to learn about the world is by experiencing it.

I am a life lover. I fully recognize that all of life is not happy; in fact a lot of it is really hard! But I believe that positives can be found in all of life’s not-so-positive moments. I recognize that there are problems in the world, and while we may not be able to fix all of them, I know that we can start by fixing them in ourselves and in our families. Then at least, in some way, we will be a good influence in the world.

Behind the Name

Alexa Underway started as I exited high school, wanting to share my experiences serving a church mission in Florida. I’d lived a pretty standard, uneventful life and this mission was the first thing I really pursued on my own. I felt like, in some sense, my life was finally taking off and I was underway.

I came back and lived a lot of life. I bought a car and registered for college. I met a boy, fell in love, and married him. We spent weekends doing house projects and vision board compiling. We bought a house, we started a business, we went to beautiful places and had the most incredible experiences. We had a beautiful blue-eyed baby who became our whole world.

One day I was sitting there and found myself filtering through memories and experiences. I noticed I was half-writing blog posts in my head about all sorts of things I was learning and doing and so I decided to give it a shot here on Alexa Underway.

I’m so glad you’re following along.
