meet alex

Hello, note takers!

I am Alex, but I guess you know that by now.  After all, my name is in the title of the blog.  You, as a reader of this blog, are now henceforth a note taker.  You are a member of this family now!  With that said, this blog is going to be a creative outlet for me to share different things.

  • advice
  • recipes
  • awesome products
  • movie recommendations
  • faith

With that said, I also want you to share your ideas, advice, and such.  I want this to be an interactive online community.  While it may be a personal blog, I want it to have its own use for everyone.  We have our own experiences which can help each other.

A few things about me:

  • at the time of writing this post, i am 22 years old
  • i like using the lowercase for stylizing sake
  • i am a christian, and my faith is very important to me
  • i am bilingual – i can communicate in both english and spanish
  • baking is a hobby of mine

I will try to post regularly. As things get busier, I may post less, but I get summers off. Therefore, summers will be perfect time for posting!

A smile is the universal welcome.

Max Eastman
