Collarbone Challenge BULLSHIT

July 6, 2015 by Ashley Alteman 18 Comments

Collarbone Challenge BULLSHIT

I scan my newsfeed like the rest of you lovies everyday. I see the happy faces of my family in photos at recent BBQ’s, birth announcements of my friends growing families, the latest celebrity break-ups (still weeping over Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck), and then, sometimes, I come across some really obscure shit. The latest […]

I Cracked Today

July 3, 2015 by Ashley Alteman 33 Comments

I Cracked Today

I cracked today. Like, cried “cracked” today. Like “I broke the fuck down ‘cracked’ today.” I normally do a pretty decent job at keeping it together. I am lighthearted, I laugh, I find the funny in most everything, but today I cracked. I cry for other people, I cry at commercials, but rarely do I […]

Las Vegas, You Make Me Feel Old

June 23, 2015 by Ashley Alteman 9 Comments

Las Vegas, You Make Me Feel Old

My husband and I recently took a two day getaway to Vegas. I was so stoked, who doesn’t love Vegas? It has the label of “Sin City” for a reason—it’s a guaranteed GREAT TIME! After being married for 8 years and never taking a vacation together, I willingly snatched up an invite we received for […]

I’m a Drug Addict- Guest Post by Lara F.

I was fortunate enough to have one of my dear friends share a very powerful story with me. Through a message, she delivered such a raw, and emotion packed account of her life; where she’d been since I’d last seen her in high school, how she was now and how she got there. I asked her […]

Not the Lemonade Stands!

Not the Lemonade Stands!

My little one, “Barb Marley”, is a huge fan of the whole “Lemonade Stand” gig. She loves to set up shop, well, allow me to rephrase that— she loves it when I help to set up lemonade-shop as she sits out front hollering down the streets “LEMONADEEEEE STANDDD!!!! ONEEEEEE DOLLLARRR!!!!! GET YOUR LEMONADE!!!” My husband came […]

Bruce Jenner, I Applaud You

I anxiously awaited the most talked about interview with the rest of America over the past couple weeks. We all wanted to hear what Bruce Jenner was going to say. What was displayed on my television screen last night as I sat glued to every word had me none other than stunned; stunned in the […]

My Friend Alan

February 20, 2015 by Ashley Alteman 19 Comments

My Friend Alan

Compassion can be something that is easily intertwined with many other words: empathy, love, kindness, tolerance and even, humanity. We live in a time where the best word to describe life is: FAST. I have days that fly by so quickly, I fail to recognize I’m still wearing the same outfit I woke up in. Life […]
