http://ashleysieb.blogspot.com/2013/12/your-year-in-photos.html
Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing." -Benjamin Franklin. Sunday, December 1, 2013. Your Year in Photos. I signed up to participate in a blogging project via smallbox called ThinkIt. Each morning, I get an email explaining the topic for the day. Today, my topic was "your year in photos." As I lay here in bed - barely keeping my eyes open and blogging from my iPhone, I am reminded that my year could really be summed up in a single photo. The best day of my entire life. I wil...

Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing." -Benjamin Franklin. Wednesday, December 4, 2013. A Word To The Wise. It's the best gift you can ever receive or give. My grandma taught me this life lesson very early on. She would always thank me for my phone calls, visits, and laughs. Honey girl- thank you for your time," she always tells me. "You always give your time and I'm so thankful.". Cheers to this fabulous lady! The time I took off from work to be with my son. I would stay ho...

Write Minded: Four More Mondays
http://ashleysieb.blogspot.com/2013/11/four-more-mondays.html
Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing." -Benjamin Franklin. Monday, November 4, 2013. I woke up this morning feeling a little sad. My maternity leave is up on December 9, which seemed far away when I first had you. I will love you forever and for always. But the time- as they've always told me - has flown by. And on Thursday, you will be 8 weeks old! I'm sure every mom feels this way. Four more Mondays to lay around all day and take selfie pictures together. You stole my heart.

Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing." -Benjamin Franklin. Sunday, September 29, 2013. My Hardest Afternoon as a New Parent. Justin's alarm clock upstairs has been going off for about an hour, but it feels a lot longer. I spent a good 20 minutes (okay, maybe only 5) this morning searching for Bandit around the house. Turns out he was locked outside. Cooper has terrible gas and only wants to sleep in my arms. The hardest day of all was last Tuesday. Cooper was only 5 days...

Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing." -Benjamin Franklin. Thursday, October 31, 2013. Leaving My Baby With Strangers. Move your arm, move your arm," I whispered as I tried to sneak a glance of Cooper before I walked away. As if she - the stranger- heard me, she moved her arm and I caught a glimpse of his face. Oh God, I'm going to cry. He looks so sweet. And kicked his legs. He is having fun! Dear Lord, someone make me walk away. I don't want to walk away. Does he like a pa...

Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing." -Benjamin Franklin. Friday, November 22, 2013. Advocare 24-Day Challenge: Progress Report. As you probably know from following my blog, I gained nearly 50 lbs while pregnant with Cooper. Everyone kept telling me I was all belly- but let's me real, I didn't deliver a 50 lb baby (thank goodness - that's like a four year old or something! I stayed very active throughout my pregnancy, but my eating habits weren't the best! I lost 5 lbs with...

Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing." -Benjamin Franklin. Sunday, December 8, 2013. Daycare Diaries: Day 1. You guys know how I feel about returning to work and leaving my babes. I've shared stories here. Oh yes- and here too. As you know, I'm crushed- it truly feels so unnatural to leave your baby.

Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing." -Benjamin Franklin. Sunday, December 30, 2012. The Happiest Place on Earth. I have a confession. I was apprehensive about Disney World. Now don't get me wrong- I was extremely thankful for the opportunity to go to the "happiest place on Earth! ButI have the patience and attention span of a hyperactive four-year-old. And we waited 20 minutes for our food. TB was simply a mad house. Anyway, I digress. He was right. I'm not in control.
