Cleaning.... I am not sure what mom loves to clean but deep cleaning has always been at the bottom of my priority list. As a mom who up until last week worked full time out of the house so cleaning was definitely NOT part of my daily plans. I would, however get home around 5 pm everyday and straighten up, put the dishes away, maybe cook, and start a load of laundry. We have a maid come once a month to deep clean. Now I am proud to say that I will be able to do more around the ...
35 week BUMPdate

The Ashmores Blog has some BIG news!
Teaching has been my passion since I was a little girl. I used to play school in my bedroom. I had a chalkboard, overhead projector, worksheets, and animals as my students. I was so excited when that dream became a reality in August of 2010! I landed my first teaching job at an amazing private school. There was only one problem.
