My name is Aleese Hughes, and I am many things…
Above everything else, I am a wife and mother. My husband and my two daughters are everything to me. But that is not all! I am an entertainer in Branson, MO, AND I am a passionate writer. Even though I do all of these things, my kids are with me 24/7! You heard me right! They wait backstage for cuddles in-between my numbers, and they are behind the scenes while I write. Yes, my life is busy, but I have never been happier.
My husband Aaron and I met when we were toddlers. We knew each other because both our families are heavily involved in show business. He and I were attracted to each other for many reasons, one being our LOVE for the stage! Performing is our passion. We had little crushes on each other as teenagers, but Aaron left to serve an LDS mission in Japan for two years. Because life goes on, I ended up having three boyfriends (at different times, of course…), and I was even engaged to one of them before he got home! But, we must have been meant for each other because he still won my love in the end!
Aaron and I were married January 4th, 2017. Almost ten months later, we had our first child: Gwendolyn May Hughes (Gwen for short). And then nearly two and half years after that, little Anna Bea Hughes was born.
My kids are my best friends. And, in a way, I write for them. I write to someday make a beautiful life for them… Whether that be through changing the world in my own small ways, or writing things they will want to read someday.
