Give generously to others because she gives generously to your family:

United Way Baby Seacoast Shower

Every year, the Seacoast chapter of The United Way hosts a baby shower to support new and expectant parents experiencing economic hardship. With the public health crisis at hand and the unemployment rate climbing ever higher each day, the demand for support is greater than ever. Rather than shower these parents in person, everything will be done virtually. Your donation can help ease the burden of our families so that they can access baby basics and early childhood necessities for their little ones. 

This is our community, here on the Seacoast. Let’s support them as they enter parenthood alongside us.

Donate here (any amount is appreciated!).

Allison’s mission in life is to notice the extraordinary in the ordinary. Her commitment to see beyond what’s in front of her was fostered by her degree in Philosophy and Theology from Boston College. Allison’s a book nerd and credits her parents and inspiring English teachers for her love of reading and writing. She went on to earn her Master in Pastoral Ministry from Boston College and then taught high school for several years, both in New England and San Francisco. After moving from San Francisco to Boston with her engineer husband, she began teaching yoga and working as a social media marketing consultant. Now a Portsmouth resident, she spends most of her days with her three daughters (she does not have enough arms) and does her best to find the bliss amidst the endless snacking, dance parties and tiaras. With all the beautiful chaos in her life, she’s grateful to have her partner-in-crime (husband Charlie) and fellow movie quote enthusiast alongside her. Her passion for writing first drew her to Seacoast Moms as a contributing writer, and her desire to connect moms of the Seacoast with businesses who serve and interest them led her to become SM’s owner. Being able to write about the ordinary grace present in motherhood, while interacting with incredible Seacoast business owners is a dream come true.
