About Alissa

A magazine editor-turned-mom of the two neatest kids she knows, Alissa is always on the lookout for new ideas for kid-friendly activities, kids’ books, money-saving tips and new products to share on her site, Fun Finds for Families.

A Midwestern native now living in Philadelphia, she loves exploring her husband’s hometown with her family and sharing her favorite finds.

She’s addicted to Pinterest, crafting, movies and an intense game of Scrabble, but is happiest at the start of a new book. It’s her dream come true to have two kids who adore reading as much as she and her husband do.

Her writing has appeared in Brandweek, as well as in several regional magazines around the country.

She (and Fun Finds for Families) has been mentioned on the Today show parenting blog and Time’s Money blog, among others.

She’s partnered with companies including Diet Pepsi, Scholastic, Melissa & Doug, T-Fal, Sesame Place, Stonyfield, Educational Insights, Green Toys, Tiny Prints and more.
