I found out about this gem last week, and I'm now obsessed. As you all know, I'm a sucker for a deal – and well, getting paid to shop on top of a bargain is just the cherry on the top. And it's free.

So seriously, join right now – here's my referral link: h...

Rainbow baby shower

Authors: Ashley @ Decorating Obsessed

I co-hosted a baby shower for my friend Sarah last weekend. A twins baby shower. Because a baby shower isn't cute enough.
We did a rainbow theme, because she saw a rainbow before her IVF success.... success after round 4. Yep, this was the most deserving baby shower ever.
Now, on to the details...

The food:

The separation of church and state

Authors: Ashley @ Decorating Obsessed

Hehe. Not really. I just wanted to pictures all my readers thinking "@$%@$^%@" all at once.
The title does hold some relevance though. I've debated about doing a family blog for awhile, and well, it's time to divide and conquer.
I want a place to post tons of pictures of Audrey, show off her wardrobe, store...

My 30th: Part 3 – Cape Cod

Authors: Ashley @ Decorating Obsessed

My fascination of Cape Cod started with Nantucket in middle school. Instead of Snapple, my cafeteria server Nantucket Nectar. I would faithfully drink one each lunch period and learn a fact about Nantucket on the inside of the bottle cap.
Since then, my fascination with Cape Cod and my love of lighthouses has...

My 30th: Part 2 – Plymouth

Authors: Ashley @ Decorating Obsessed


Day 3

The original plan was to drive to Salem and then Plymouth, before heading to Cape Cod. Sadly, time wasn't on our side – so several days prior, I decided to cut out Salem, since it was out of the way.
Brent and I were only in Plymouth for several hours, but it was a fun detour and worth checking out. Plus,...

My 30th: Part 1 – Boston

Authors: Ashley @ Decorating Obsessed

I pretty much started focusing on my 30th birthday right after I got sick.

Pre-heart condition, I always pictured spending my 30th around friends while having my own version of Brent's beer-tasting party. But that all changed. I quickly developed a "bucket-list mentality" and knew the best thing for me was...

Health update...10 months later

Authors: Ashley @ Decorating Obsessed

Post-partum cardio myopathy is a disease that affects the heart’s left ventricular ejection fraction (basically you don't produce enough oxygen for your body, causing your heart to work overtime and become enlarged). While what causes PPCM is predicted to be hormone-related, what the actual trigger is, is u...

Photos!...And some excuses

Authors: Ashley @ Decorating Obsessed

Worst. Blogger. Ever.
In my defense I've had a lot going on. It's football season, so we're away on the weekends a lot now. Brent and I also celebrated my 30th in Boston and Cape Cod. Then several days later, my neighbor friend and I threw our 2nd annual block party. And that doesn't include the photo shoots for...

6 months

Authors: Ashley @ Decorating Obsessed

I don't know how Audrey is 6 months, but she is. Time is flying. She's 18 lb. 8 oz. and 27.25" tall – 90th percentile in both. Yep, she's my big girl.  :)

Happy 4th!

Authors: Ashley @ Decorating Obsessed

I hope everyone had a fabulous 4th!
Aside from the pinwheel, Audrey was definitely not a fan of the day. She spent most of her day napping or being cranky.
 

I'm still working on removing the wallpaper in the hall bath. What I thought would be an easy task, turned into 3 times the challenge (aka: 3 layers...
