Hello all & welcome to my little corner of the Internet. I have started & restarted this blog many times, but today something just felt right to give it another go. A little bit about me: My name is Ashley. I am a 35 year old housewife from Virginia. I have 2 children, my son Caden(15) & my daughter London(9). My husband Will & I have been married for almost 9 years. Throw in our Pomapoo mix named Thor, a parakeet named Charlie, & some goldfish & that is our family!

Writing has always been something that I have seen the importance in, but often found it too daunting or honestly just been too lazy to start. There's always been the thought of, "Who would actually be interested in what I have to say?" Most of my days are spent "moming"(hence the blog name) & I felt as thought that would just be boring to document. However, the past year has made me realize that if being a mom is the most important thing that I have going on, then I am perfectly fine with that. I used to think that I had to fill my time with things. Volunteering, working part time, babysitting... that being "just" a stay at home mom wasn't enough. Now I realize that I work damn hard day in & day out. I no longer have younger kids at home with me during the day, but I am still busy. If I am happy baking cookies & taking care of my home, why am I trying to make myself unhappy by being a mold of what someone else thinks I should be? So I welcome you to into my life & my home. Most of this will be documenting goings on for my kids for later in life. If something were to happen to me, I want them to be able to read this & remember those memories. I am aware that my random household updates may not interest everyone & that's OK. But for those who do find it entertaining, I look forward to getting to know you all.
