Adventures of Mommyhood
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
Hey folks! So I had this conversation with a friend of mine that I thought would be great to talk about... As you know I'm a teacher - Pre-K in particular - and I deal with a few things when it comes to Pre-K. Well my first year teaching, there was a student, male, whose… Continue reading …being an advocate for all children
I don't know how folks...women...single moms....do it. But somehow I am, and I'm always amazed when I get through the day without losing it. Well the last couple of days, I have...I've ended the day in full blown tears. Just balling...when the day is over...and I finally have time to breathe...or in this case, cry.… Continue reading …feeling overwhelmed
Hey folks! Well it's Inauguration Day and like most people, I'm terrified of what's to come. I mean, in no way am I a political wiz or understand much concerning it. But I do know the difference between right & wrong (most days anyway!) and how others should be treated. This week, I've taught my… Continue reading …being afraid

So keep that in mind while I still go forth with this anyway, K? When I pictured myself having kids (like in… Continue reading …co-parenting
Hey folks! Happy New Year! I just wanted to share a few quick "revelations" I had at the end of 2016. It is NOT weak of me to ask for help: All my life I've been the type to just want to do things on my own and not bother asking others for help… Continue reading …setting goals
Hey folks! So here in NC, we have been snowed in for the weekend and the next two days (Yippee! Because my lesson plans weren't done anyway! Ha!) But that also means Ky and I have been inside...ALL....FLIPPIN...DAY. "Why don't you take her out in the snow??" you say? She gave me this look... And… Continue reading …spending time
Hey folks, This time of year always leaves me in such mixed feelings. So this December, my dad would have been 55 years young. He transitioned from this world 7 years ago. So December (and June) have always been months where my depression peaks its little head ever so often and all I want to… Continue reading …having regrets
Hey Ashley what are you doing for Ky's birthday? What are you getting her for Christmas? Are you going to visit your family in NY? FL? Are you going to take Ky to Barbados? Guyana? Don't you think Ky needs this or that? Blah Blah Blah. Folks, I don't know how many times I need… Continue reading …saving my pockets
Hey folks! Happy Holidays! That great time of year where everyone travels to see loved ones and dread sitting next to the family with the baby/toddler screaming their heads off the entire ride there. Ahhh! Well here's my early gift to you wonderful people traveling: Ky and I are keeping our butts home in good ole… Continue reading …saying ‘no’ to holiday traveling
