Alicia
My name is Alicia, and I've lived in Stratford, CT my entire life. My husband and I went to the same high school together, but we didn't know each other then. My daughter goes to the same elementary school I attended, and she's learning to swim in the same pool my husband took lessons in 30 years ago. What can I say? It may be a small town (city now!), but we love it. Recently, I quit my job of 11 years to become a stay-at-home-mom to my 7 year old little girl. Yes, I did it backwards, I know.
