I'll give you a clue....starts with an I ends with an -ndianapolis Colts beating the Patriots!!!! BOOYA SUCKERS! Victory is sweet!! Ok, now that I've got that out of my system I thought we'd do a little getting to know you. I love when people ask me random questions so I thought heck, why not share it with the whole world! The first question comes from a special gal, near and dear to my heart, the one and only Liz over at It's Unbeweavable! LOVE HER! And she asks...(Disclaimer: TOTALLY her words, not mine!)
Q- "My darling Alicia, I've been asking you for months how you manage to always look so fabulous and put together and HOT while you're chasing after 3 kids, please share your secrets. I'm taking notes."
A- Well crap. For starters, thank you! I'm so glad you think so! Photoshop works wonders!! HA! But the other moms in the drop off zone in front of the school may not agree with you though.. Lets just say I look a little rough in the morning! But if you want honest answers, here goes! As far as losing the baby weight I tribute it to good genes, Jillian Michaels 30 minute shred, and
And as far as my wardrobe goes, I've learned to embrace mother hood. I've learned that its totally do-able to mix comfort, practicality, and fashion, all while keeping it simple. Let's be honest, with 3 kids under 6 I'm not gonna be grocery shopping in a LBD and Loubies, and I'm sure as heck not getting spit up on them!So instead I like to put a little emphasis on cute, but comfortable footwear and fun accessories. Also wearing clothes that fit! We may not fit back into our pre-baby clothes and that's ok, but wearing clothes that don't fit isn't gonna do us any favors! However, most days you'll find me in jeans and a tee. I'm walking the park, not the runway. The most important thing to me is to have my hair done and a fresh face...but I'm not a make up fan, I keep in simple with eye-liner and mascara. I also think its important to remember that just because we're moms doesn't mean we can't take some time for ourselves! Spend the extra few minutes getting ready, doing your nails, the little things that are gonna give you that extra boost of confidence! At the end of the day, that self confidence is the most fabulous thing you could wear!!
Well I hope I answered your question! Thanks for playing Liz! And I'm opening up the floor to your guys, I love getting to know you all and I'm so happy for you all to get to know me...I'm only slightly crazy, but nothing a little medication can't fix! So ask away ladies, but keep it classy... this is a mature and sophisticated place after all...HAAAA!
Have an awesome Monday folks!
Peee Esss.....Go check out this awesome contest the amazing Summer did....yours truly is a finalist! WHOOP WHOOP!!











Yesssssss!!!! CONSIDER THIS POST PRINTED...and hung on my fridge for if and when the day comes. And we are sister in laws. HAHAHA JK.
ReplyDeleteBoo the shred, but that hag works. And amen to confidence and the little things. I will be a MILF like Alica is my new mantra. Thank you for finally answering the question I have been pestering you about for months!
LET THE COUNTDOWN BEGIN! YES! Can't wait to see you my love!! And instead of crazy insomnia gchats it will be crazy insomnia...in person chats bwaha! LOVE YOU!!
I keep hearing about the Shred so must try it.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I have one...since I may very well be officially engaged by the time you read this (if that time is after 8pm on Monday), I am wondering what marriage advice you have, from one HOT couple to another HOT couple. Thanks!
ReplyDeletethanks Liz for asking cuz i was also wondering...now can we ask anything?? like...you know i've asked you before how you met lovely hub...AND you don't have to give un-classy details.
ReplyDeletefood allergies?....first time i wish i had any... like to fat, sugar, wheat, alcohol (wait, that's not a food group? is it?)
gotta go...boo work...
i'll try to catch you later between 2 naps!
love ya!!!
Yay for confidence!
ReplyDeleteI love the Shred.
I knew I liked you! No make up...okay...you do more than me there...Jeans and tees...okay..I am in sweats....walking in the park with kids...okay...so I don't take my kids to the dang park....But, I still like you!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I agree with the few extra minutes when I started doing that I felt better about myself all day! Oh and get a new haircut that made me feel soooo much sassier.
ReplyDeleteThe shred, huh?? You forgot to mention that you're juSt naturally CUTE AS A BUTTON!
ReplyDeleteGreat answers! I lol'd at you thanking the food allergies for your body. I thought of you last night after I ate dairy :-) lol My husband DID NOT love me for a little bit!
ReplyDeleteHere's a question... are you planning on having anymore babies or are you at your limit?
ReplyDeleteJillian Michaels...well, I'm a Bob fan but I do love 'em both.
ReplyDeleteYou should do a tutorial on doing hair. A vlog. I can't do my hair worth crap. Show me. :)
Apparently I need to look into this Shred. Seems like everyone is doing it, and since everyone is skinnier than me, it must work! Lol.
ReplyDeleteI'm also a jeans and tshirt kind of girl, but I LOOOOVE makeup. As mommies, I think it's soooo important to take time out for ourselves to feel womanly and pretty and not just like a spit-up covered mom all the time. I'm amazed that you are able to keep your sanity and STILL look good with 3 kids and a husband (because let's face it, some days they're worse than the kids). You're incredible!
I'm all about the mom wardrobe but sadly cannot join in on the exercise. That stuff just wears me out.
ReplyDeleteGreat answer :)-
ReplyDeleteKeeping it simple up in here...LUV IT ♥
The little details do get noticed and that's what counts. Work it!!!
You're such a doll!
ReplyDeleteAlright...I tried The (Infamous) Shred and then I gave up. I felt like I couldn't hang. BUT, if you're a mom of 3 (no offense when I say this), why shouldn't I be able to do it? Right? I need to. I have to. I will. Seriously. You might have just inspired me to get back on The Shred bandwagon...no wait, YOU DID.
ReplyDeleteMy question: how, just how are you so flippin hilarious? Seriously. I struggle to find time to sit and read blogs these days, which I HATE, but I luuuurrrrrve reading yours. You're funny, cute, and freakin' witty. I'm jealous. I envy you. I want to beeeee you. Well, not BE you, but maybe LIKE you. Help me! Is there a class I can take? :)
ANNOUCEMENT TO ALL CHEESY READERS: i've had the lovely pleasure of meeting our favorite little lady, alicia. no photoshop needed. this gal is one hundred percent adorable, naturally gorgoues and sweet as ever!
ReplyDeletemy question...how the HELLS did you pop out 3 children from that teeny tiny body of yours?! no seriously, how?! lol.

ReplyDeleteI want mom clothes. I am thinking about it real hard so it comes true!
Ya wanna know my routine? I get up, throw on anything that fits, brush my hair, brush my teeth...thats about it. On a good day I might flat iron my hair...I so need to find something to help me lose the poundage and then maybe Id feel a bit more fashion-tastic!
ReplyDeleteyou are such a cute fabulous lil momma!!
ReplyDeletei plan to be a put together mom some day as well, putting my face on and doing my hair. just becuase you have kids doesn't mean you can't look good ;)
praying i'll drop baby weight quickly and look just as adorable as you! :)
One of these days I will get the Shred. But maybe I should try dusting off the fit and active first. I want to be a milf mama, too!
ReplyDeleteI want to know "Where does the cheeseball humor, that you rock with all the hawtness that is you, come from?"
ReplyDeleteHow do you like that question? From one cheeseball to another! Mwah!
Left you something shiny on my blog today!
You have a point. I've been flying a hag flag for far too long. Me thinks I need to take another step up the pretty ladder.
ReplyDeleteThe cheerios stache is hysterical!
I'm with blueviolet. Hag flag city. :/
ReplyDeleteyou are a wonder! and for the first time in my life, i am wishing i was allergic to SOME type of food, ANY type of food, as i love it all way too much! :)
ReplyDeleteI wish I could drink red bull, I get anxious and well... I don't want to freak out the kiddos! So I stick with light weight drinks.... a Dr. pepper... ummmm, yummmm!
ReplyDeleteFor the record, I voted for your stache.... AMAZING! Well done... love it!
ReplyDeleteAnd I 100% agree with Liz... I am always amazed at how fantabulous you look... this is so fun, to get to read a bit more about you...
Okay, so I still consider myself newer to your blog, so if this question has been answered... so sorry. But here's one: How did you and the hubs hook up? Where did you meet... love at first sight??
A combo of embracing motherhood & photoshop is what gets me thru the day, too. Oh, if you only knew. Great interview!
ReplyDeleteLOL you are TOO CUTE! Loved the Q&A - it's always nice learning more about our blogarino friends! :o)
ReplyDeleteAhhhhhhhhhh I look forward to the days of not wearing a suit and 3 inch heels daily, just when I want to. I do think I'll miss it though?
ReplyDeleteI almost wish I had food allergies... emphasis on the almost. :)
ReplyDeleteYou always look gorgeous!
Okay, so I saw your fabulous stachtastic photo on Summber's site! too cute! Hoping you win! You rock!
ReplyDeleteWhat's your favorite color?
ReplyDelete(Totally agree on dressing and your mood. If you dress sclumpy you'll feel that way. I know this from experience.)
As a new reader from SITS, I'm curious what got you interested in blogging! :-)
ReplyDeleteAMEN to that!!! Not that I have any kids, or would now. Bur it sounds like the perfect plan, comfy, yet cute. I'm all for that!!
