🤔 any guesses what styles or decor we’re gonna find in my home office reveal? (which is coming soon, fyi)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
the space is 99% done and when i say it’s one of my most highly anticipated blog posts (aside from when i introduced the girls, obv) i am not playin’. 🔥
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
i’ve been spending all my free time working in here again, between the girls’ naps or when alexis wakes up, because she likes to come and hang with me — may have something to do with the fact that i have a mounted tv in here and she has her own little desk too.. 🥰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
anywhooooo… finishing a few touches before i shoot the nice nikon cam photos for the blog and plaster them all over my channels. 📸 you won’t be able to miss them, i can assure you that!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
LATER THIS WEEK: kenzie’s nursery reveal is due up on the blog! keep your eyes peeled for the post and how to read! 🌸
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
—
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🪴 decor pictured:
- amazon peel and stick wallpaper (in home office amzn list)
- best amazon faux eucalyptus (in home decor amzn list)
- my purple instax (in home office amzn list)
- plus, all of this pictured is repurposed/extra decor that found a perfect new home at the very center of my built-in cabinet wall so i didn’t have to spend a dime on this area while using already-owned decor! 💰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🛒 in my amzn strfrnt “home office decor + supplies” idea list!

aside from the stanley hack, their intended use is still super magical. will be sharing a reel on how I fixed my cabinets next!

🛒 throw a “putty” down there for the deets!

five months with kenzie char✨
(almost a week late, because life)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
she started rolling over mid-august and has been perfecting her craft ever since, especially for the sake of finding nearby toys.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
she’s been told on several occasions that she’s a ‘very loooong five month old’ and we’d have to agree 🙃
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
her favorite toy right now is ‘star star’ her crinkly star toy from her ocean gym. 🌟 but her colorful ryan & rose teething rings are a verrrrrry close second!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
and just last night daddy gave her some great big blubber smooches before bath time and she gave us the biggest giggles we’ve ever heard from her! 🥹 truly the best noise ever.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
safe to say we’re still pretty obsessed. 🥰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️ last pic is the monthly alexis/kenzie side-by-side and apparently something was super funny during alexis’ photo that month. 😂

i had two very different pregnancies with my girls and if i had my second pregnancy first, i’m not sure i would’ve wanted to roll the dice on another go at it. i think i really enjoyed my first pregnancy with alexis because it wasn’t as hard on my body.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
kenzie, however… she was awake en utero 24/7 and kicking from weeks 21 to 37 nonstop (i joke that’s why kenz is such a good sleeper now, gf is catching up on those zzz’s) plus terrible pelvic floor pain that i’d never had before in my life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
all of this to say: pregnancies are not all the same. and it’s okay if you didn’t love it or didn’t have a magical experience. not everyone does. and as the years pass your pregnancy will come up less and less because that’s not what’s important long-term. your family is what everyone will remember. 🤍

have you potty trained a little before? 🚽 /ad
because i’m going to need alllll your tips and tricks!

we’re approaching that magical time with alexis, and she seems pretty interested so i’m hoping we hold onto that momentum. lucky for us, we have a really nice 3-in-1 training potty from @kub_brand that she can grow with as she learns the process.

🛒 leave a “kub” below and i’ll send you the product page, use code ASHLEY15 for a discount!

Sep 2

spoiler alert… this wasn’t the *quickest* video but it was as quick as i could make it in my last minute haste. CHEERS! 🍈

PSA: about halfway through i walk you through how to make the melon ball garnishes which are pretty tricky. if nothing else, reference that part when you go to make your own!

edit: immediately noticed i spelled deuce wrong and am already losing sleep over it, no need to point it out unless thats the kind of thing that helps you sleep at night. 😅

are you watching any of the us open this year?
