Thursday, July 30, 2015. Construction Party Planning Underway. One of the main activties my sister has planned for my nephew's construction party is letting the kids play in dirt.

Perks of Ponder: Fig Strawberry Preserves
http://perksofponder.blogspot.com/2015/07/fig-strawberry-preserves.html
Tuesday, July 28, 2015. Figs are one of those weird fruits that don't get a lot of hype. Today I'm giving them a purpose with this wonderful fig strawberry preserve recipe. It is crazy easy and super delicious! Picking from the fig tree in the backyard. My dad and I were picking them and he said never pick what you can't easily reach because the birds have to eat too). Get 3 cups of figs that have been either peeled or clean stem cut ones. Put them in a large saucepan. Add 3 cups of sugar. Bring to a boil.

Perks of Ponder: Facing My Problems
http://perksofponder.blogspot.com/2015/07/facing-my-problems.html
Wednesday, July 22, 2015. The one thing I try to do as a blogger is stay as much of an open book as I feel comfortable. I also understand that no one likes to read a bunch of negativity so I try not to come to this place and lay it all out there each day. I come here today to explain my situation and how finally getting the courage to face my problems has changed my life. Facing your problems takes a lot of courage so don't forget to give yourself grace. Posted by Ashley Ponder. July 22, 2015 at 2:00 PM.

Perks of Ponder: February 2015
http://perksofponder.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 26, 2015. What Do I Do With This Child? When I was pregnant I would exclaim that I was going to have a well-behaved child. My child was NOT going to be one of those kids that had no discipline. I read parenting books. I watched some Super Nanny. I was equipped. I was a fool! Here are some pictures of Jack in action:. All the other kids were eating their food so nicely and then there is Jack. Oh here he is climbing again. This time he was focused on getting to that Dr. Pepper. I gave my...

http://perksofponder.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 30, 2015. I'm 33 years old which doesn't make me old but I'm no where near ready for another relationship right now and I don't plan on having a baby with anyone that I'm not married to. Who am I to say what God's plan is? I just don't see having another child happening. I'm working on making peace with that fact. Posted by Ashley Ponder. Wednesday, April 29, 2015. My Love/Hate with Outdoors. It's awful seeing him get so hurt over something he really. What really bothers me is when we are...

Perks of Ponder: Living in One Room
http://perksofponder.blogspot.com/2015/07/living-in-one-room.html
Friday, July 31, 2015. Living in One Room. One space in our bedroom is Jack's table where he reads books and colors. He has a chair there but he rarely sits in it. We usually don't get into our bedroom until after bathtime so this is something we do later in the afternoon to night. Here is the view from me sitting at my desk. The shelf you see in the back houses pictures, books, movies, games, and items that I deem too special for storage. Posted by Ashley Ponder. August 6, 2015 at 2:09 PM. Rain, Its Bee...

Perks of Ponder: Oh What a Night
http://perksofponder.blogspot.com/2015/07/oh-what-night.html
Wednesday, July 29, 2015. Oh What a Night. It's my summer break. I'm not going to the beach or anywhere else for that matter so every so often I have a little staycation at home after everyone is alseep. I stay up to like two in the morning catching up on tv, I read blogs and possibly write, and I eat junk food. Jack goes to daycare during the day so I just take a nap following the night of my staycation. This is one serious coffee lover! Thankfully, by the time we got home the electricity was back on...
