In her spare time (when?), Alison curates a blog of unsent emails called Saved To Draft, is writing a sitcom pilot called "Not Living the Dream," and constantly considers starting a podcast about NJ. She's lived in NYC and L.A. and once spent a month walking 500 miles across Spain but is currently creating content from her Jersey Shore hometown, often while wrangling a 23-lb baby and a 24-lb cat.
