Miss Personality

Ashley is 5 1/2 months old now and man, is she developing a personality.  She is so cute to me!  And I don’t mean just her adorably good looks, but her sweet personality, too.  Here’s a list of what she likes and doesn’t like: –She likes to suck her thumb. –She likes to watch the dogs and [...]

 

It's a Scary World Out There

Having a child brings about a whole new set of fears.  Not only am I responsible for raising Ashley to be a productive member of society, but I am also responsible for her safety and making the right decisions on her behalf.  I love her unconditionally.  She’s my offspring.  My child.  My daughter.  Me and Ashley, [...]

 

Holden Beach

We went to Holden Beach this weekend.  It was Ashley’s second trip.  She had fun visiting Grandma and Grandaddy!  The boys had a good time swimming in the pool and playing chuckit.  No waterway swimming this time.  With my luck, they would have cut their feet up, and I couldn’t bear the thought of them getting hurt [...]

Getting in the Groove

I’m getting used to the whole SAHM (Stay at Home Mom) thing.  I do have to say it’s been a bit hard being home with a baby during the winter.  It’s nice to be inside and not have to bundle her up to take her somewhere, but some days I feel like the walls are [...]
