Hello World!

I’m Bailey McAlhany, educator, writer and entrepreneur.

I live just outside of Charleston with my husband, Thomas, our daughters, Lillian and Camilla and our two fur babies, Fancy (yes, like the song) and Ruby. I’m a wife, mother, teacher, outgoing introvert, control freak and entrepreneur.

For almost a decade, I have been a school, dance and fitness teacher. I owned a dance studio for 5 years and have taught many different fitness classes including Zumba, Pound, HIIT, Ballet Fit, Silver Sneakers and more in the studio and different fitness centers. Within school, I have taught a number of subjects, but my primary focus is on Physical Education, Health, Dance and Cheer. 

In January 2018, I found out I was expecting my first child and in September 2018, my sweet baby boy passed away just 54 short minutes after he was born. I started privately writing about my experience being a mom of child loss and have now decided that it is time to share my story in hopes of showing other moms and dads that they too, can make it through such heartache, even if it is just day by day.

In November of 2019 and again in April of 2021, I gave birth to two beautiful, healthy baby girls. I am now trying to navigate my way through motherhood with my Rainbow Babies and all the emotions that come with that.
