Some Randoms
November 28, 2011 By * 71 Comments
Some randoms, just because. Well, mostly because my brain isn’t working and these things have been on my mind. 1. I’ve just recently re-discovered Cocoa Krispies, and I’m so glad I did. Nothing beats the chocolate milk once you’ve finished the bowl of cereal. 2. Do you ever feel like your face is rejecting your makeup? Because that’s what I’m experiencing. I think I need to try a new brand. 3. We’re still here in Wyoming, and my hands are cracked, my lips are peeling {…Read More…}
We’ve Aquired a New Family Member
November 20, 2011 By * 40 Comments
His name is Troy. He’s 5 years old. He was supposed to be a tea cup Yorkie, but once he grew up, he turned out to be more of a “crock-pot Yorkie”. He was my Momma’s, but now he’s Lil W’s… Because every boy needs a pup.
I’m Blank Because…

I’m weird because… I can’t sleep with my hair down. I drink ice milk regularly. I have a no shoes policy in my home. I like Doritos with tapatio. I kiss the clock any time it’s 11:11. I love to smell my sons smushy neck over a dozen times a day. I prefer to NOT cuddle when I sleep. I have still never left Lil W with a teenage babysitter. I eat chips and salsa as a meal multiple times a week. I can’t sleep with a top sheet. {…Read More…}
Our Love Story: Part 2
November 4, 2011 By * 53 Comments
Read the prologue here. Read Part 1 here. via Tuesday: After my gutsy and rather uncharacteristic introduction to the boy with dimples, I went back to my little apartment and did my best to not think about him for the rest of the evening. After many failed attemps, I decided to go to bed early so the next day would come sooner. *** Wednesday: The first four hours of my shift were spent making “accidental” eye contact with him from across the room. He looked cuter {…Read More…}
Our Love Story, Part 1
October 31, 2011 By * 41 Comments
via I was just getting out of a serious relationship. I was taking a break from boys. Finishing up my Sophomore year at UCSB and getting ready for my transfer to USC. Studying, working three jobs, and figuring out what I wanted out of life–I had decided that would be my focus for the next two years. No more of this “falling in love” business. My heart needed a break. So there I was. On my lunch break. I worked at the UCSB events center. {…Read More…}
Astigmatism

Shirt: the one I wear all the time from a local boutique, Cardigan: Gap, Pants: Banana Republic, Shoes: Reflections, Belt: Forever 21, Glasses: Converse, Braided Bracelet: c/o Jessica N. Designs, Wrap Bracelet: c/o Lee La La It turns out I have astigmatism. Not a stigmatism. And yes, it took me 27 years to learn the difference. So I got me some fancy schmancy glasses. And now I’m trying to get used to them. Holla if you wear glasses! I’m linking this outfit up to The Pleated Poppy and {…Read More…}
Pin ItBody After Baby
October 17, 2011 By * 60 Comments
No one ever tells you. Well they try to–kinda. But you don’t really know until you experience it for yourself. I’m talking about the metamorphosis of the body you once knew so well. The one you had grown so accustomed to for the last handful of decades. No one ever tells you that everything changes after you deliver your 8 pound butterball. That you and the body you once knew so well will have to get completely reacquainted. You expected things would…how shall I say it…hang {…Read More…}
Hello Monday
October 10, 2011 By * 27 Comments
Hello Monday. Hello first rain. Hello to the smell of wet asphalt and the seasons first lit fireplaces. Hello to unpacked Halloween decorations. Hello to arts and crafts. Hello to candy corn inspired pom pom necklaces. Hello to adorable wrinkly fingers of my new one day old nephew. Hello to soft cries, fuzzy hair and snuggle warmth. Hello to pure love. Hello to a beach side dinner with girl friends. Hello to lots of butter, sugar and carbs. Hello popped top button of my jeans. Hello {…Read More…}

If you follow my rants on facebook, then you may remember my desperate plea for guidance regarding the unknown object stuck way back in Lil W’s nose last weekend. I knew this day would come eventually, especially considering his obsession with his nostrils. But I always assumed I would find it kinda cute or comical when he accidentally got a foreign object stuck in there. It wasn’t funny. Or cute. And I was a wreck. I think the part that had me worried the most, {…Read More…}
Hunter Wellies Make Me Want to Pole Dance
August 18, 2011 By * 43 Comments
Best friends know the little things about you. Like your shoe size. And best friends do sweet and spontaneous things for you–just because. Like pick you up a pair of glorious boots while they’re out shopping, because said boots were a rockin low price and they’re ”soooo you“. I have a best friend like this. And I love her, and my new wellies. Bring on the rain. And only a best friend could get me to pole dance in my new wellies–well sorta.
How I Put In My Hair Extensions
August 10, 2011 By * 70 Comments
I’ve talked about my hair extensions many times. I summed up most of the details in this post. But a lot of you still wanted to know more. So I decided to bring my camera with me on my most recent appointment. Carrie, my super hot stylist, was a great sport about having the entire experience documented. Here is the FULL scoop on my hair extensions, and my coloring process. If you’re new here, I need the extensions because of this. I bought my extensions {…Read More…}
The List
August 1, 2011 By * 98 Comments
Every Sunday night,before I go to bed,I sit down and I make a listof all the things I hope to accomplish in the upcoming week. This list literally has over a hundred “to-do’s”.And no, I don’t get to all of them.Not even close. Even the simplest things make the list.Things like wash my hair, buy toothpaste, bring sippy cups in from the car. And then I have my “loftier” goals listed.Things like start that diet, jog at least 3 times, no hair pulling, organize my {…Read More…}
WIW: Grayscale
June 10, 2011 By * 47 Comments
Shirt: Old Navy, Sweater: Old Navy, Pants: Banana Republic, Shoes: Bakers, Watch: Fossil, Ring: LMM So a couple of things: 1. The idea was to wear all one color so as to highlight the fact that I finally painted my nails a color. But now I’m starting to think I just kinda look like a dolphin…a dolphin with yellow finger nails. I will be linking this post up to WIW on The Pleated Poppy and Real Momma, Real Style on MGR. 2. Did you notice {…Read More…}
She-Ra Warrior Princess
May 26, 2011 By * 43 Comments
Have I ever mentioned that I have a hard time getting rid of stuff? Especially if it is even the least bit sentimental. So today my Momma came over to give me the smack down. It’s time Ashley. I’m bringing trash bags. But I wasn’t worried. I knew she would take one look at the memories inside my bins and she wouldn’t have the heart to make me get rid of a thing. And I was right. My She-Ra doll. Whenever I would visit my Dad, {…Read More…}
Books Matter
May 23, 2011 By * 76 Comments
From 1st through 7th grade we didn’t have a television in the house. I don’t think I ever complained…maybe because it was all I really knew. Instead of Full House and Family Matters, I read books–lots of them. Every week, my Mom or Grandma would take me to the bookstore to pick out a new book. I remember attempting to take my time to read them, savoring every single page until my next trip to the book shop. However, I couldn’t resist sneaking pages under the {…Read More…}
