Allison Says

I'm Allison Barton, a 26-year old mother and Registered Nurse. I'm highly literal, occasionally moody, obsessed with Burt's Bees and anti grains in my diet. I am a wanna-be-Geek, loving all things Apple, and I hate competing with my friends. I am immensely loyal, not fastidious, and love to cook.

This is me, the one that isn't a wide-mouthed three-year-old:

I live with my wonderful partner, Zach, and our crazy awesome kid, Alexander. Alex was born on August 28, 2007. He is the most amazing little person that I could have ever imagined knowing. Zach is a software engineer and hopes Alex will love computers as much as he does. We live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

This is my family:

Aren't they adorable?

I love Biology and all things related to health. I like to know the research behind the things that we are told to do for health. I love to cook. Shopping gives me pleasure, especially when I can buy things on clearance. I like warm weather, sunny days, and spending time outside. I love traveling, which I don't do nearly enough of, and spending time with my family.
