Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. I'm Alycia and I've been blogging here on The Curious Pug since November 2009. I suppose you could call TCP a lifestyle blog since I like to write about aspects of life, crafts, books, my dogs, patio gardening, and whatever is on my mind at the time. I'm a huge supporter of the handmade community and am always browsing Etsy for fun and interesting things to share here.

My husband and I recently just moved back to the east coast after living in California for 9 years. I work in the healthcare industry as an xray tech but I still have yet to find a job that I totally love. So life has been changing a lot for us lately and I like sharing about that and connecting with you.
