Welcome to Lovely Maxson!

Alex by Brant Point Lighthouse

My name is Alexandra, but you can call me Alex, and live in Austin, Texas with my husband, Zachary, our cat, Sam, and our husky, Kate. I started Lovely Maxson as a way of sharing all my favorite things with the world – finding new hiking spots, decorating and organizing our house, traveling to beautiful places, baking my favorite recipes, and sharing memorable moments with my beloved family and friends. I hope you find something here that resonates with you and brings you a little bit of happiness each day. Happy reading!
