Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all my fellow mamas out there! I hope you get all the love and pampering you deserve. Being a mama is hard work, and it's nice to be able to take the cape off once and a while to celebrate all that we do each and every day.

The little and big loves of my life gave me this adorable card and charm bracelet before work today (yep, two years in a row of working on Mother's Day... at least it's only 6 hours!). I can't decide which I love more - the card is the outline of Annalyn's hand making the ASL sign for "I love you" (I've been taking an ASL class and teaching Annalyn and Michael some as I go) and the bracelet has an assortment of charms celebrating motherhood, including mother/daughter heart charms. Both are so representative of the last year and celebrate some of my favorite things. I'm one lucky mama!

Happy Mother's Day, everyone!

Love,

Mama

Becoming Mama

Years ago when I started "Ashley's Kitchen", I was just finishing pharmacy school. My husband, Michael, and I were purchasing and renovating our first home, and FINALLY I was getting my own kitchen. Looking back, I am amazed what I was able to do in my tiny apartment kitchen. After many requests by family/friends, I decided to start a little cooking blog with step by step instructions/pictures that were fun and easy to follow. It combined two of my favorite things - cooking and taking pictures.

Then, 5 months after the birth of our little Annalyn, I was ready to return to the world of blogging, not only as a way to share my recipes, but as a way to discover the person I am becoming. What was once Ashley's kitchen is becoming Mama's kitchen. The place where I cook family meals and find new ways to make them healthier. Where I give Annalyn baths in the sink and experiment with making baby food while she watches from her high chair. Where Daddy dances around with her when she's upset. My kitchen is being taken over by baby bottles/utensils/gadgets and I couldn't be happier. I am officially becoming Mama.

Now, after the birth of our second little lady, I'm finding myself once again adjusting to this crazy/amazing/overwhelming time in our lives. I'm officially a mother of two, and trying every day to figure out how to balance life, love, work, and family in this ever-changing life of ours. The kitchen is still the heart of our family and our home. It's my command center, my oasis, my mess, my escape. It's Mama's.

Come on in, enjoy the ride. I hope you brought your appetite!
