I’ve been away….

I’m glad to say I’m back from a kind of vacation of blogging…. I know it seems silly to vacation from blogging but in reality, LIFE HAPPENED. Plus it doesn’t help I have a horrid memory and the attention of a toddler. Speaking of, my little Korra is getting so big! 16 months just fly by when your chasing a little one. Plus birthdays, holidays and random doctor stuff with my sis and step dad. Time just escapes the brain without even realizing. My life has indeed been busy as of late. Mainly with chasing Korra around the house and coming up with new ideas to make her laugh and have fun. Winter is just now setting in. Korra doesn’t really know what to think of it. I’m trying to get into WoW, and I love it but the only time I can play is when Korra is napping, if I am doing anything on the pc she wants to be in my lap seeing what I’m doing. I may as well change this blog title…. My mind is all about Korra now….

Drifting off to sleep

As I lay in bed thinking of today’s events, my baby girl is sound asleep in her crib, as well as her daddy asleep next to me. I try not to be a night owl sometimes, but I can not help my desire to stay up late and watch tv or blog in this case. Today’s events were not very hectic… Korra and I got up around 11, then I went to town for a little while, I got home then played with Korra for a bit, and then I hung the bookshelf I made in korras room, then watched tv and waited to my husband to get home. I have a pretty standard routine. Nothing very exciting hardly happens to me. But laying here in bed thinking of today’s events, I think upon all the love I have for my family and how blessed I am to deserve their love back.

My daughter

My babygirl was born on may 18th 2013.  Even through the hardships of the first few weeks of her life, I couldn’t imagin being closer to anyone.  She is my everything.

I really wanted to start this blog out right and find the sweet spots first.  My best friend is my mother, and I will give anything to have that kind of relationship with my own daughter when she is older.  My name is Ashley Reid, I have been married since April, 2011 to my loving husband Roy.  I am a stay at home mom and I really do love everything about my life.  ❤

I had one of those bumpy childhoods,  money was tight and my dad left the home when I started high school.  But overall there was a lot of good times.  Ive been trying to write a book since I was in middle school, and as a very scatterbrained person, at least every year I go over it decide I hate something and end up rewriting everything.  So needless so say I’m only on chapter 4.  I plan on typing up what I have and posting it to this blog so anyone can read the beginning, maybe even give me feedback.

Im gonna wrap this up for now with a quote

“Nothing lasts forever, So live it up, drink it down, laugh it off, avoid the drama, take chances, and never have regrets because at one point everything you did was exactly what you wanted”. Marilyn Monroe

“A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.”
― Washington Irving

Newly being a mother myself, I hope that I may share the bond that my mother and I share with my own daughter.
