About
HowDoesShe.com is a site created by women, inspired by women, and dedicated to empowering and embracing motherhood and womanhood.
As the site’s founders, we have often marveled at the amazing talents and abilities of women around us, asking, “How does she…?” From balancing children, budgets, jobs, a healthy lifestyle, and implementing creative ideas, we are astounded by what it means to be a woman.
Whether you are a busy stay-at-home mom, a career woman, entrepreneur, aunt, grandma, or all of the above, HowDoesShe is committed to bringing you the most fabulous DIY projects, crafts, family fun ideas, delicious recipes, and strategies to help you raise a beautiful family.
Started in 2009 by three amazing young moms, the site has quickly expanded to an international following.
Alison is a woman on a mission. She is a business-savvy genius who can create something amazing out of nothing, including four beautiful children, several small businesses, and many crafting wonders.

Shelley is a spunky social butterfly, brilliantly walking the tightrope of raising twin divas and a budding superhero, making gourmet meals, and being a hopeless romantic. She is the ultimate party guru and gives 110% to everything she does. A forever girly-girl, Shelley loves high heels and earrings and ardently believes that if you don’t have time to put on makeup, these two things will distract from the face.
