Getting to Know Your Contributers: Ashley

My husband and me

My adorable 2 year-old Sophie. Yes, she has glue and glitter on her little face, but still manages to be a doll!

Do you like to cook? I love to cook, but I hate to clean up after.

Where and what do you like to eat when you go out? I love to go to Outback Steakhouse because they have a fantastic gluten free menu.

What are your pet-peeves? I hate it when my clothes are hung up out of order or my towels aren't folded correctly. There are many others, but I don't like to reveal how many OCD tendencies I have.

What is something that you regret about your past? My past has brought me where I am today, and today is really wonderful, so I wouldn't change a thing.

Which sport do you like? I love volleyball and running. I hate to watch sports! Luckily, I married someone who feels the same way.

Do you live in a house or an apartment? We bought the cutest little town home a few years back, and I love it! Mostly, I love my large storage room off my kitchen. I'm weird about little things like that.

Have you ever met a famous person? I have met Peter Jackson, but I didn't realize it was him at the time, and I made a complete fool of myself by saying, "Hey you have the same name as that famous director!" When he told me he was the famous director, I laughed out loud and said, "Yeah right!" It was pretty bad, and my husband still makes fun of me for it.
There have been a few others, but that was definitely the most memorable.

How do you spend your free time? My favorite free time activities include ones that are spent with my family. I also love to read, sew, cook, make soap and other home supplies, go to the gym, and I absolutely love kickboxing!


What do you do? What's your job? I have the hardest, most wonderful job in the world! I am a stay-at-home mom.

What is your motto in life? Live with no regrets.

Which languages do you speak? I speak English well (most days), and I can get by with the little bit of Spanish I know.

Are you a 'morning' or 'night' person? I don't like to stay up late, and I don't like to get up super early. What does that make me?

What is your favorite season? My favorite season changes as they come around. I love them all for different reasons. Most of my favorite activities revolve around summer though.

If you could live anywhere in the world for a year, where would it be? My husband and I would like to move to Maine for a year! Maybe one day we just might do that! He may end up with mercury poisoning though for his intense love of crab.

If you knew you could try anything and not fail, what dream would you attempt? I believe the possibility of failure is what makes accomplishments so great. If I couldn't fail, the achievement would be worthless.

What super-power would you most like to have, and why? I wish I could clean my entire house with the snap of my fingers! Does that need an explanation?

What is your favorite TV show? My favorite TV shows are actually from the 1950's; the best being "I Love Lucy."

If you have children, how many children do you have and what are their names? I have an adorable 2 year-old names Sophie, and I am expecting another in a few short months. Her name is yet to be determined.
