Flying in planes with toddlers | SmASHeD Phoenix
https://smashedphoenix.wordpress.com/2016/08/01/flying-in-planes-with-toddlers
August 1, 2016 /. Flying in planes with toddlers. After being here for six months you start to get a little stir crazy. You start to miss your family and friends, then you start to contemplate whether or not you made a good decision in moving so far away. When you’re 5000 kilometres away from everything you’ve ever known it takes a toll on you. The first flight was surprisingly great. It’s just under two hours in a smaller plane and I jam packed as much Paw Patrol as my iPad would hold. The...Monster was...

HELLO TESLA! A birth story. | SmASHeD Phoenix
https://smashedphoenix.wordpress.com/2015/12/02/hello-tesla-a-birth-story
December 2, 2015 /. Welcome to the world Tesla Autumn Fitchett. A post shared by Ashley Anthony (@smashed phoenix) on. May 12, 2015 at 5:47pm PDT. It’s been a while since there has been any updates, and by while I mean about 8 months. Life with two under two is instantly crazy, but in the most wonderful of ways. My Love, Joshua, at the time had Mondays and Tuesdays off so we spent the remainder of the day running errands. There I was walking around Walmart having these tiny little cramps, but just ig...

Why I don’t care about looking good | SmASHeD Phoenix
https://smashedphoenix.wordpress.com/2016/02/25/why-i-dont-care-about-looking-good
February 25, 2016 /. Why I don’t care about looking good. There is the pressure that comes from being a woman that we are supposed to doll ourselves up and look “presentable”. I hear the terms “looking presentable” and “dressing for the part” but what does that entail when you’re a woman? As a woman if I wore similar attire I get comments like “oh, you look comfortable today” and “how do you leave the house like that? I may be a professional, but I am also still a breastfeeding mother and a mother of two...

Why Yellowknife? | SmASHeD Phoenix
https://smashedphoenix.wordpress.com/2015/12/18/why-yellowknife
December 18, 2015 /. Shortly after my daughter was born I was depressed. Not an obvious depression, but I believe to anyone who truly knew me it was plainly and painstakingly obvious. I recently had had a falling out with my mother and it had been a while since we talked. We downsized into a small one-bedroom apartment in an attempt to save money and pay off our debt, only to be greeted with non-stop renovations in the house. It was disastrous, but we played it off like it was nothing. Josh had quit his ...

The hustle of Radio and Momming all at once | SmASHeD Phoenix
https://smashedphoenix.wordpress.com/2016/02/03/the-hustle-of-radio-and-momming-all-at-once
February 3, 2016 /. The hustle of Radio and Momming all at once. The morning show has been on air now for almost four weeks, but to me it feels like four minutes. I wake up at four in the morning and am at the station, which in a small town like Yellowknife is luckily only a stones throw away, between 4:30 and 5. I spend the next bit getting ready and organized, counting down the minutes until the show begins. Then it’s early to bed and up the next morning to do it all over again. The benefits of working...

#LifeintheKnife Winter Edition | SmASHeD Phoenix
https://smashedphoenix.wordpress.com/2016/04/08/lifeintheknife-winter-edition
April 8, 2016 /. Adapting to Yellowknife lifestyle isn’t the easiest task when you move here from a city like Toronto. Sometimes I feel as if people from the island of Jamaica would have an easier time adapting to the lifestyle here (just not the frigid temperatures) and we are five months in and just starting to slow our pace and live that simple lifestyle that it takes to succeed here. Afterall, The north is truly the land of opportunity. One thing that you will see a lot of that will remind you of bei...

Catching up with the kids | SmASHeD Phoenix
https://smashedphoenix.wordpress.com/2016/03/31/catching-up-with-the-kids
March 31, 2016 /. Catching up with the kids. Sometimes it feels like all I do is work. I get off early, but that doesn’t mean the phone calls and research stops. By the time we sit down at the table of dinner I am truly exhausted… At least my brain is. That leaves little time for relearning who my kids are, as every day some facet of them changes and they become new people. So lately I have made a point to spend more direct time with them, especially Monster. He is a builder and learns new skills with ea...
