I was looking at my blog's "keywords" yesterday (words that people type in that leads them to my blog), and one of them was "ashley proud mommy". I almost started tearing up, I loved it that much. I do love these sweethearts of mine. They make my days more fun than I could have ever imagined. And even though they wrestle and fight over trucks occasionally, they also take care of each other and enjoy playing and laughing together.
I am so excited to introduce you to my good friend, Nicole today.

She blogs at Pharr Away, and is one of the most genuine and friendly people that I've ever known. We hadn't seen each other in years, until a few months ago at our NC Blogger Meetup, and I squealed so loud when she came in. Nicole has the most adorable daughter, Maddie, who I'm slightly obsessed with, wrote a fantastic post on learning to NOT say "no" (to your kids), and hosts a Monthly Measures link up (first Monday of every month), where you report on your health and fitness goals...such a great idea!
Comments turned off so you can go show Nicole some love!
