About the Blog
The Well-Curated Home & Life grew out of a desire to slow down and live more intentionally. For a long time, I felt pulled to do more, buy more, and rush through more, and yet the moments that stayed with me were always the quiet ones.
I’ve learned that a meaningful life isn’t built all at once. It’s shaped gradually, through the routines we return to, the spaces we care for, and the choices we make day after day. The books I return to, the rituals that ground me, and the habits that make home feel like a place to exhale.
This space is where I share what has earned its place in my life, thoughtfully chosen, lived with, and returned to often. Nothing here is meant to be perfect or loud. Just considered, steady, and real.
Chosen with care. Never rushed
-Alicia Marie
Life here is shaped by intention and the quiet rhythms of everyday moments. I’m a middle school teacher, a mom to two teenagers, and married for 19 years to the love of my life. We’re building a life grounded in care, laughter, shared history, and the small moments that make a home feel lived in.
This space reflects how I move through the world, slowly and thoughtfully, with attention to what truly adds meaning. From daily routines and home rituals to the seasons of teaching and motherhood, everything shared here has earned its place.
