Behind the Blog - Brittany

9/08/2014


Todays Behind The Blog is one of my favorite Mamas to follow on Instagram!
 Brittany from The Ashmore's is so sweet, and her family is adorable. Her daughter Ainsley and Lilly are literally days apart in age, and it has been so fun watching them grow. In some ways I feel like I almost know Brittany, and I hope ya'll love getting to know her as much as I have.



My name is Brittany and I just started blogging a few months ago after my daughter was born and absolutely love it! I love the outlook it gives me for putting my thoughts, ideas, fears, struggles as a mom, etc. out there. I love getting to meet new moms and Instagram has played a huge role in that! I live in Houston, TX, I am a 1st grade teacher, married to my college sweetheart, we have 2 beautiful children... Oakland age 4 and Ainsley is 11 months!


I love crafting and the joy of creating my own version of what I see online or in a store! I love taking pictures especially of my children! Teaching is a passion and dream of mine! I get to speak the name of Jesus everyday and instill His love into their lives. I absolutely love teaching at a private school. I played volleyball in college and coach the girls volleyball team at my school.


I love anything pink, gold, chevron, polka dotted. I have a bad habit of biting my cuticles, leaving the dishes in the sink, not unpacking from a trip for weeks, not having an organized house, BUT my classroom HAS to be organized!

I love shopping for my kids and will almost every time buy something for them instead of me! Whenever I get a gift card I HAVE to use it that day! HAHA

I am a huge advocate of pumping and exclusively pumped Oakland for 11 months and Ainsley for 10.5 months! I love the Lord most importantly and want to share his love with everyone I come in contact with. I want my life to be a reflection of his love for me.

Blogging is such a wonderful thing and I am so thankful to be featured on Sara's blog! I hope you find me on Instagram (@brittanyashmore) and follow my blog!

Hello Dear Handmade

9/02/2014


Did you hear? Did you hear? I am a new brand rep for the awesome shop Hello Dear Handmade!

I announced this exciting new on my Instagram about a couple weeks ago and to help in the celebration Shannah and I wanted to share a discount code with my readers. But first, let me tell you more about Hello Dear Handmade.


Shannah started making button earrings as gifts for friends after her daughter was born. She was urged by those who loved her to start her own business so in June of 2013 she opened her own shop. Hello Dear Handmade, named after how her late grandfather greeted her, was created to help Shannah earn some income while being a stay at home mom.


Shannah loves crafting and loves seeing people wear her creations. She started with button earrings but has slowly started branching out into bracelets, and coming in the Fall, necklaces. She is so talented and I am so excited to support her as her business grows.


To celebrate this amazing shop, and the exciting new that I will be a brand rep Hello Handmade and I are offering a 20% OFF code that is valid for one week. Use the code BITS in checkout to receive your 20% OFF!

Behind the Blog - Breanna

9/01/2014

Today for Behind the Blog we have Breanna from Adventures In Mommy Land, as well as My Oven. Their Bun.
I met Breanna months ago when we were paired in a now obsolete box exchange. I was so inspired not only by the love for her own children, and family, but also the selflessness she has in giving to others. I hope you find her amazing as I do.


Hi Everyone! My name is Breanna and I blog at Adventures in Mommy Land and My Oven. Their Bun Blogs! My husband and I have been married for 7 years and we have three amazing children! I have been a stay at home mom since I had my first child in 2007. I started blogging in 2007 when we found out that we were pregnant with our daughter. We wanted to be able to share pictures and other milestones with family that lived out of town/state. Some days I will go weeks without blogging and then post 3x in one day!


Our Oldest Son, DJ, is 7 years old and is a complete ball of energy! He is heading into 2nd grade and absolutely loves math! He completed his first 5k in June and is a fast runner! He is also a wide receiver for his Jr Pee Wee Football team!


Our only Daughter, Reagan, is 6 years old and is my girly girl/tomboy! She loves to get dressed up, but will get muddy from head to toe with the boys! She is heading into 1st grade and loves to socialize! She is a veteran on her Jr Pee Wee Cheer Team this year! She can’t wait to be a flyer this year!


Our Youngest Son, Allen, is 3 ½ and is the one I have to constantly keep an eye on! He is my mischievous one! He gets to start Preschool this year and to be completely honest, I think I am more excited than he is!! He is such a smart little guy with so much energy! We are planning on signing him up for soccer in the spring!


I just finished my first journey as a Surrogate! You can read all about my journey on my other blog My Oven. Their Bun! It was an amazing experience and I am so glad I did it! I recently revamped my profile and will hopefully be matched by the New Year!

I love being a stay at home mom 90% of the time. The other 10% wishes I could work outside the home, mainly for that adult interaction. You can only talk to a 7, 6 & 3 year old for so long before your brain gets fried! I am currently in the process of becoming an Arbonne Consultant and am really excited about it! I personally love all of the nutrition products and my kids do too! I love to cook and bake cupcakes with the kids. I am a Pinterest-aholic and love doing crafty things with the kids! My husband says that Target is my second home {I have to agree with him there!}. Margarita Mondays with my Gal Pals are the best!



Thank you to Sara for letting me be a part of this fun link up!
