life lessons from Ashley Stock - a momma-in-training.
{scroll down for the Thirty One giveaway info} On Sunday we go to church. We do our best to take a deep breath, to just BE with each other, to reflect on the week and on how we can be better. Sunday’s are special. Sunday’s are sacred. But when our little bundle of energy was born, keeping Sunday sacred became a bit more challenging. Things like back arching, loud singing of the Elmo’s World theme song {la la la la, Elmo’s World}, cheerio mashing {and throwing}, and {…Read More…}
Sometimes I like to make predictions. To be the one who says something out loud that way when it actually happens, I can be the one who said I told you so. It’s not one of my most attractive qualities. And today, you’re gonna get to witness it first hand. I, Ashley Lynn Stock, am predicting that Heather Smith, the designer and photographer of Just.Lovely.Things is going to be BIG TIME. Not that she isn’t already Big Time… but I mean like really Big Time. {…Read More…}
Did I ever tell you guys about the time I threw a Scentsy Basket Party and ended up with tons of FREE product? No, I didn’t? Well, I should have.Because I know you like free stuff, just like me. So here’s the scoop.Basically, I signed up to do a basket party–which means I didn’t have the pressure of inviting a bunch of people to my house and all the cooking and cleaning that would require. Instead, I was able to host an “online party“. I {…Read More…}

Avant-garde: to refer to people or works that are experimental or innovative, particularly with respect to art, culture, and politics. We’ve talked a bit before about being braver with fashion. And how I am about as “not brave” as they come. I buy pretty things for my hair, my wrist, my neck, my feet. And I even get so far as to put them on, admire them in the mirror, and then rip them off before I walk out the door. I’m a fashion coward, people. But {…Read More…}

Modern Bird Studios Giveaway {and a discount} I’m silly, I know. Because in my mind there is this arbitrary list of milestones I envision for my family as the years pass. A list of things I use to gauge how we’re coming along. Pretty much anything in the movie Father of the Bride would be on my list. Picket fence Basketball hoop in the driveway SUV 401K a Family vacation spot Real artwork And as of a few days ago, the SUV has been the {…Read More…}
What’s In My Purse {and a giveaway & discount} Every year I make a New Years resolution to get myself organized. Like clock work, on January 1st, I head out to Target and buy about ten giant rubber bins with lofty hopes of down sizing, color coding, labeling, and packing away the clutter in my life. And every year the clutter just transers into the bins, unorganized, unlabeled and certainly not color coded. While my intentions are good, my execution is rather pathetic. So this {…Read More…}
I love owning multi-functional accessories. It just makes fashion easier, and more fun, and it gives your style a bit more “pizazz”. Ok, so maybe pizazz wasn’t the best word, but you know what I mean. The perfect accessory can give your outfit the little somethin somethin it was missing. Take, for example, my fun Dinkybird flower clip/pin: It can be worn about a zillion different ways, yep, a zillion! Clip onto a belt: Clip onto a headband: Pin onto a cardigan: Pin onto a {…Read More…}
