About Me

Hello! My name is Alyssa (middle name Joy, hence the title of my site) and welcome to Sprinkle of Joy! This is my personal website that I created to share my life, encouraging stories and to just have fun!

Before you start reading, here’s a little about me… I am a follower of Jesus Christ and I’m passionate about sharing his love. I am married to love of my life. He is a wonderful, strong and loving man and I love our adventures as husband and wife. We have two kids, Joel and Savannah. Motherhood has become one of the most challenging but rewarding roles I’ve ever had. We also have a dog named Luna and a cat named Cosmo. I love to bake, and more importantly I love to eat — be sure to check out some of my yummy recipes! I also enjoying running (when we’re not binge watching something on Netflix). My husband and I are obsessed with HGTV and love DIY projects.

I currently part-time work for a small local government agency where I do communications and marketing. I have a bachelor’s degree in English and a minor in Communications from the University of Illinois at Chicago. I truly love writing and being creative, and I hope this site shows a little slice of that.

Life continues to be an adventure and I look forward to what God has in store for the future.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13

Thanks for visiting!

T • W • O My girl is TWO years old today! The T • W • O

My girl is TWO years old today! The transition from 1 to 2 was a big one for Savannah! She’s definitely not a baby anymore, she’s a full blown spunky toddler. She has the most extraordinary vocabulary, she knows her colors, shapes, numbers and letters, animals and can sing you about a dozen different songs. She is beyond fearless. She may be a tiny peanut but she doesn’t let that stop her (heck, she learned to climb out of her crib a few months ago). She wants to do everything big brother does and usually can successfully. She adores him so much, even though he can get a little rough with her (peep her bruised nose). She’s still my snuggle bug and gives the best squeezes. We love you so much, Savannah Cate! Happy 2nd birthday!
“Say cheese!” “Say cheese!”

Is your second born more adventurous than your first?? Mine sure is! My fierce and fearless Savannah.
