Hey folks! I just came off of the BEST WEEKEND EVER. Ky had her first recital and I’ve been in awe of her since. Her little group all went on stage, did their thang, and left...no tears! I'm pretty sure that is UNHEARD of! I just could not stop watching her little videos. And as… Continue reading …being strong

….Reaching a Breaking Point
I have reached my breaking point. I’m convinced these “Terrrrrrrrrrrifible Twos” are turning me grey (no, like seriously...I found a grey strand and named it Larry). I was ok with Ky being terrible at home. I’m not the best person when we’re home anyway. I just want to lay down, watch my shows, drink wine,… Continue reading ….Reaching a Breaking Point
…finding a hobby
Hey folks! Have you ever found yourself dreading this question: "So what do you like to do for fun?" No? Just me? *shrugs* I've had THE most difficult time attempting to answer that question.

…wanting to be free
Lately I've missed my freedom. Not that I had much to be free about.. But just the mere fact that I could have gone wherever I wanted, whenever I wanted...without the responsibilities of a child. Is that wrong? It's not that I miss the party scene - although leaving the house at midnight and not… Continue reading …wanting to be free
…traveling adventures
Hey folks! So I have done it! The impossible! And now I am in my family's history books. This past Spring Break I decided Ky and I were NOT going to spend it in NC. We needed a break. So I packed our things and Belly (that's what I'm calling her these days) in the car… Continue reading …traveling adventures
…making do
Ashley, why won't you ever get Ky a dog? It was a windy Sunday morning and Ky and I had to wake up to head to church. I accidentally signed up to do children's church and now I'm being held hostage...but I digress... And in true "us" form, we were running late. So I put… Continue reading …making do
