This Is Beauty

July 17, 2016 by Ashley Alteman 14 Comments

This Is Beauty

First there was the “thigh gap.” Then came the “bikini bridge,” the “bellybutton challenge,” and the “collarbone challenge.” In March of this year, the “A4 Challenge” popped up– which apparently is some bizarre trend where women (and men) hold a piece of paper to their waste to show that….they can hide behind it? I have no fucking […]

JORD Wood Watch Giveaway!

JORD Wood Watch Giveaway!

Do you have something that you cannot leave the house without? A weird factoid about me: I never travel without scissors. Bizarre, I know. Try it on your next trip and tell me if you can ever travel again without scissors. (You can’t.) When I leave the house for quick trips though, I typically take […]

“You’re So Lucky To Have a Husband Like That!”

“You hit the husband JACKPOT!” “WHAT!? He does LAUNDRY?!” “Your husband knows how to cook?!” “Is he babysitting the little one while you’re out?” “You’re so lucky to have a husband like that!” — These are all things that have been said to me since I’ve been married to my partner and husband, Justin. Yes, […]

Mr. Roger Jimenez, You Do Not Speak For Christians

Mr. Roger Jimenez, You Do Not Speak For Christians

49 lives were taken by a single gunman on Sunday, June 12th, 2016, leaving us in a state of devastation. As many of us pray for the individuals and families affected by this heinous act of evil, many are speaking up with encouraging words of support, love, and condolences. Blood banks are holding blood drives […]

The Beauty Of A Hand Written Card

With the digital age such a part of our daily life, keeping up with friends and family is an easy task. It takes just one scroll through Facebook to know what everyone is up to, and see their happy faces smiling back at you from recent birthday parties, BBQ’s, and more. However, something that I do […]

Brock Turner’s Name Can Light Up My Timeline

June 8, 2016 by Ashley Alteman 7 Comments

Brock Turner’s Name Can Light Up My Timeline

With the election upon us, it’s not infrequent to see updates from our friends via social media with lists of things they’d prefer not to hear about anymore. I.e. “Things I’d like to never hear about again: Gorillas, Donald Trump and Parenting Styles.”  However, I’ve now seen some posts around the web tossing the Brock […]

Lay Off The Millennial Generation

May 30, 2016 by Ashley Alteman 3 Comments

Lay Off The Millennial Generation

Lately, I’ve seen a lot of Millennial bashing around the web. The Millennial Generation, per Wikipedia, are those born somewhere between 1980 and early 2000. Born in 1984, I am one of the Millennial Generation. We’ve been described as lazy, narcissistic, coddled, idiots who don’t know what the real world looks like, nor know anything about money, […]

Dear Walmart Food Stamp Hater,

May 10, 2016 by Ashley Alteman 7 Comments

Dear Walmart Food Stamp Hater,

Dear Walmart Food Stamp Hater, I caught the video you starred in this week at your local Walmart and I must say, I’m really disappointed. I wish I could say I am disappointed in your acting skills, but the sad truth is, you weren’t acting. It was clear when you waved to the camera that […]

The Last Nightlight

The Last Nightlight

I used to change her diapers, and then one day, she was potty trained. I used to feed her a bottle each night before bed, and now she fills her own glass of water to place on her nightstand each evening. I used to sing to her, and the sound of my voice would lull […]
