Celebrate your Child’s Creativity! Create an ART WALL in your home!
Art is an essential way for children to begin to express themselves. For many years, people seemed to assume that creativity was a talent that some people possessed more than others.

Meet Ali & Ali
If you live locally, you very well may know Ali D and/or Ali C – or the Paper Alley- their incredible personalized gift business whose new website just launched! What you may not know, however, is that Ali D is a lawyer who spent 15 years as a hard core TV producer before launching her own business and Ali C was born in Belgium and has two boys who love to snuggle in the morning! They both love skiing, the Spotted Horse and value honesty and a sense of humor above all in their friends. These two consistently make us laugh – and we are addicted to what they’re selling. A dynamic duo not to be missed!

In addition to running West, she has 3 boys who keep her on her toes, and swears by eyelash extensions (shhhh!), Molto or Archie Moore’s for family dinner, and to most people’s surprise was a 3rd grade teacher before having kids! She wishes she had more time for Shutterfly family albums these days, but is busy going back and forth to LA, so that may have to wait a few years!

Meet Rob (our first dad!)
Meet Rob!! Since this week is all about dads we thought would feature our first dad on WestportMoms! Rob is dad to two girls here in Westport, and a former lawyer whose lifelong passion for sports and broadcasting led him down an unexpected and fortuitous path to ABC News, ESPN, and his current role as a TV executive and broadcaster with NBC Sports. Despite incredible opportunities to broadcast from amazing places like Rio for the Olympics, he would choose to spend a free 24 hours skiing with his girls (including wife Kathryn!), loves running, and sometimes wonders if the MLB was his missed calling!
