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

…having regrets
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
…saving my pockets
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
…dealing with postpartum
Hey folks! The inevitable topic. Postpartum. During my pregnancy, I read books...ok, glanced through books and posts. And I read a little about postpartum. All I could really remember is that sometimes it will happen and other times, not so much. So I came to the conclusion that it just wasn't something to worry about.… Continue reading …dealing with postpartum

…treasuring moments
Hey folks! I know I come on here and sulk about my life choices and vent about slashing the tires of the people who work my nerves (disclaimer: kidding) but really motherhood is not that bad. I enjoy the heck out of nap time and bedtime. Like that is E V E R Y T H… Continue reading …treasuring moments
…protecting your baby
Hey folks, So one of the big things I've kind of been passive aggressive about is Ky's daycare and their opinions about her hair. Now if you haven't noticed, we're black. Yea, crazy right?! But anyway, I wear my hair naturally -as in no chemicals, perms, etc.- and choose to leave Ky's hair alone. My… Continue reading …protecting your baby
….putting baby in a corner
Hi Folks! Hey, Ashley...How do you get things done when Ky's around? Great question Ashley! I don't. Nothing. Gets. Done. E V E R. I have approximately 2 (maaaaybe 2 1/2) hours to get anything started knowing that it will more than likely never be finished. And those hours work only on the weekends. It's… Continue reading ….putting baby in a corner
…finding peace
Hey folks! One of my biggest focus, as of late, is finding peace. I believe it is SO important...especially being a single mom because those "peaceful" moments are few and far between. A few weeks ago, everything was starting to get to me: living in someone else's house, sharing a room with my daughter, messes,… Continue reading …finding peace
