life lessons from Ashley Stock - a momma-in-training.
SECRET WEEK PRESENTS: SARAH’S “make you smile” secrets I like to watch my LCD Widescreen TV on “Stretch” so all the skinny girls look a little fatter. I use about a bottle a month of “dry shampoo”. I bite off my tastebuds and they bleed and makes my whole tongue swell…so to try and make it better, I bite off more…etc etc etc I have a shag rug in my livingroom purely because in a pinch, when people are coming, instead of vacuuming, I can brush {…Read More…}
I know my “secret” isn’t much of a secret, everyone in my life knows how badly I want a baby, but I don’t think anybody really understands or realizes just how hard it’s been for me to cope with each and every new pregnancy happening around me… I don’t think anybody realizes just how incredibly insane I have become. I love reading your blog, and I love reading the blogs of other momma’s out there. It’s almost like I live vicariously through other Momma bloggers–it’s easier {…Read More…}
Elle is oh-so-brave for sharing her deepest, darkest thoughts with us… Here is Elle’s secret. It makes me feel like an evil person:I sort of look forward to life without my mom. Yes, that’s right: like when she is dead. Oh, that is so horrible. I do love my mom, and I don’t wish her dead. It’s just that she is a constant source of stress in my life. My relationship with my husband has suffered and continues to suffer an enormous strain because of {…Read More…}
SECRET WEEK: secret #3{need to get caught up, click here} This Momma’s secret is intense–and it touched me to the very core. Here it is: Dear LMM readers, My secret is horrible. And I want you to know that I’ve told no one else except my husband, not even my Mum because I’m affraid of how she will look at me after. Uh, it’s hard to write. Basically my Husband has been away for 9 months training to be a police officer. He’s just finished {…Read More…}

And now I present to you our very first SECRETS REVEALED:{please show your support in the comments section} Jolene’s Secret:I feel {…Read More…}

Today I received a looooong overdo pedicure. As in 5 months overdo. It had pretty much gotten to the point that it was either get a pedicure, or else move up a shoe size to make room for my new claws {because I don’t usually take the time to clip my own nails–sad, I know}. And everything was glorious as usual about the whole pedicure foot bath experience… That is until the guy giving me my pedi started to use that giant chain saw looking machine {…Read More…}
I can see you, hehe. {and yes, I have freckles} I know I have been giving you little teeny sneak peaks, but please allow me to officially introduce you to our new {and totally chic} sponsor: the one, the only, Cozette Couture When I was asked to review a lovely product from Cozette Couture my first thought was, “OH NO, teenage Baby W will totally resent me if I make him model a CC headband” {even though he could totally pull it off} And since I don’t have a {…Read More…}
I Want to Know YOUR Secret {see end of post for details} {and I reveal another “mini” secret} When I started this blog, it was for one reason more than any other. To find out if I was the only one… The only one with feelings that this whole parenting business was a bit more than I had signed up for. The only one so overwhelmed with love for my new little baby, that it drove me to tears many nights. The only one who {…Read More…}
Home alone. For the first time in longer than I can remember. A list of “To Do’s” a mile long–and now’s my chance to cross them off without a toddler grabbing my ankles or the hubby asking me where we keep the dish towels for the 30th time this week {love you hun}. Laundry. Clean out the fridge. Answer emails. Vacuum. But there’s something oddly paralyzing about the emptiness and silence of my home. Something that has me wandering in circles in and out of {…Read More…}
I always get the itch for selfish shopping just before Christmas {I attribute this to my impatient nature}. Wanna see what I got? The perfect brown boot. Just rugged enough, without being to “cowgirl”, not that I have a problem with “cowgirl” or anything. YeeHaw! And the red zipper in the back makes me giddy every time I look at it. Thank you Carlos Santana, for going into the shoe business. {link to more info on these pretties} {btw: mine were 40% off at Famous {…Read More…}
Clever or Pathetic? {am I the only one, you can be honest} Wanna know a secret? So I was asked to make a salad for an activity at our Church tonight. I made a super girly one–you know the kind {leafy greens, pears, grapes, candied walnuts}. And just so people would be super impressed, I included my famous raspberry vinagrete dressing! STEP ONE: STEP TWO: And no one at the activity will be the wiser {that is, until they read this post}
A few updates, a basket party and another burlap surprise! Update #1: Tears have been rolling out of my eyes as I laugh hysterically at every ones comments on the “Am I the Only One Who…” post. And let me just tell all of you weirdos out there like me, NO you are not the only one who…{and yes, I am quoting YOUR comments word for word} “I always wonder if I’m the only one who loves the movie Xanadu. I hear that that’s abnormal.” -elise “Am I {…Read More…}
Pure randomness, so bare with me {or is it bear with me?} Am I the only one who… jumps with surprise every time I open a Pillsbury crescent roll tube and it makes that loud POP sound. doesn’t bother eating an Oreo unless its double stuffed. can never remember how to spell: similar, diarrhea and tomorrow thinks Mr. Noodle on Sesame Street is super creepy. would rather pick up dog poop than fold laundry. dreads blow drying my hair. must have the dishes done before {…Read More…}
Vintage Baseball Baby Shower {in case you were wondering, it was a big HIT} Get it, “hit”, as in home run?! A dear friend of mine is preggo with her second little boy, and it’s safe to say that their boy-filled home is a bit crazy about all things sports. But rather than throw the typical “sports” themed party, Nina {of Momma Go Round} and I decided to spice things up a bit with a vintage inspired theme. Oooooo, Ahhhhh! Here is our glorious invitation {…Read More…}
