SHOWER DRESS! OH WHAT TO DRESS THE BUMP?? And look at this photo of the hostesses!

March 30, 2016/ Ashley Jones

MY SHOWER IS THIS WEEKEND!! EEK.

I'm so grateful to my sweet friends hosting (Kaley Cuoco and Marisa Coughlan). Look at this picture I found of us from years ago! What a different life! Marisa is pregnant with her fourth!! We're actually due the same day, can you believe? And I think this is pre- Big Bang Theory for Kaley...

Marisa, me and Kaley! How long ago do you think this picture was taken?

I'm 8 months pregnant today! I'll never forget the day I took the test and saw the pink lines. And now I'm dressing the bump. I was talking to another preggers girlfriend yesterday about maternity clothes. I'm looking for something so specific- a fitted maxi dress. She brought up that it almost doesn't exist. I found this one that I love, it's non-maternity, so it doesn't "grow" with you. However, it is so affordable ($52!!) and darling and so comfortable, I'll be wearing it till I can't fit in it, then post pregnancy! I love the pockets and the v-cut back. I'm out looking today for more shower finds, so may be asking for opinions later!

Calling all MOMS and DADS…SO…Hayden and I are working on a project. A pee project. I am hoping the pee goes where we want it to!!! 🤣🙄😫And no where else. Boy parents feel me? Anyone else constantly cleaning up!😵 so yesssss @toddlerta

Calling all MOMS and DADS…SO…Hayden and I are working on a project. A pee project. I am hoping the pee goes where we want it to!!! 🤣🙄😫And no where else. Boy parents feel me? Anyone else constantly cleaning up!😵 so yesssss @toddlertarget 🥳 Hayden loves this and I had to share —- Swipe to see. Hayden was potty trained seated. How did you potty train your little one? If you did it sitting, did you teach a transition to standing? I’m using #toddlertarget to get him used to standing up so he can easily do it in public places. Genius idea for so many reasons…a MOTION DETECTOR turns a “target” light on- for peeing IN the toilet IN the right place, but also, the target light acts as a night light for transitioning out of pull-ups at night. (Great for girls, too!) And I have a feeling it could help more than just toddlers….. wink, wink. toddlertarget.com I’ll also put a swipe up in stories;) #toddlertargetpartner #boymomadventures #boymomlife #toddlerlife #pottytraining #pottytrainingboys #pottytrainingproblems #ashleyjones #haydenjhandmommy #singlemom #singlemommy #fulltimesingleparent

#SurfOrSki the beauty of Southern California...I love it!! Throwing it back to searching for Olaf ☃️with my little man… I’m ready to go again!! #sponsored Love that cleansing feel of fresh snow. ❄️Hayden brings up our day trip to the mountains A LOT. I want him to grow up feeling a sense of responsibility to preserve and respect God’s gifts; He is understanding🌍 A while ago I talked about @energyupgrade_CA after a day at the beach. I feel compelled to mention it again after another day spent out on an adventure. This is a practical conversation, not political. I see dumpsters overflowing with stuff that could be repurposed. And so much plastic. We can start in our own homes by being examples to our children. It’s fun to recycle, reuse, renew and use cleaner energy. Every one of us can do this. Just be mindful. Think progress, not perfection. Even just waiting till after 9pm to run your dishwasher and dryer ensures you are using cleaner energy from the wind and the sun. WHAT HABITS do you have to help our world? Share, please! We can help each other with good ideas! Check stories for more info soon and simple ways to make big changes in this world we all share, wherever on Earth you may be.

New Energy. New Decade. Starting to feel it!! 🥳 ARE YOU? Rebuilding my life as a full time single mother can take a lot out of me. What is helping so much now is finally being able to SLEEP😴😴, drinking water first thing in the morning and before meals (sooooo helpful) and not missing my vitamin packets. Nothing replaces good eating habits and working out, there are no shortcuts, but my @gnclivewell GNC4U vitamin and supplement packets improve my quality of life. I notice a distinct difference if I skip a packet, mostly with sleeping and energy levels. That’s how I know my body needs them so badly; I’m still in healing mode after trauma and divorce. My personalized packs also focus on improving mental function and sleep schedules. If you haven’t taken the free quiz GNC is offering (link IN BIO) to discover what combo is best for you, never a better time than right now. To those of you that took the quiz and started your regimen- congrats! I LOVE reading your feedback. What are you doing to improve the quality of your life in 2020? I love all the details! Even smallest ones. #sponsored #GNC4U #GNCLIVEWELL

#TBT to when I was still pregnant with my second child. Yes, you read that correctly. Hayden wore a big brother shirt to tell my parents 🥰, the same shirt Huck wore when he met Hayden for the first time. Seems like a lifetime ago. I talked about my fertility journey with you all, but never shared that I was actually pregnant for a while. I feel a bit naked talking about this on the blog today, BUT it’s just been on my mind a lot this new year. I’m SO HAPPY for people announcing pregnancies and births, but for others it can be a difficult and disappointing reminder of loss. One thing that really helped me was hearing how other people healed and learned how to keep going. At first, it feels like everything stops and the devastation takes over. Talking about it all helps dissipate the feelings of defeat, loneliness or hopelessness. I felt guilty when I was so sad because I was already blessed with Hayden and Huck, so I felt awkward discussing it. I shouldn’t. When @LifeSpringInsurance came to me to open up the conversation about infertility, miscarriage, loss, etc I wanted to participate! It still feels raw and too sad and that is ok. But it helps to talk. 🙏🏻 LifeSpring is changing the conversation around infertility, especially for the youth of today by offering financial insurance for fertility options. I’m thrilled to be a part of that because I wish this had been available for me years ago. This is not a post for me to feel sorry for myself…It is a post educating more people about options out there for us. See you on the blog!💙💙#ad #thingshappenforareason #LifeSpring #MakingFertilityAffordable

I didn’t post this when it first came out (and didn’t post the other columns, either), because I didn’t feel like my life reeked “expert.” Not the kind of expert in order to have tips in @parenting magazine. Well, that ends now. I’m an amazing mom that is forging a better path for my son and making a ton of sacrifices to do it. And I am SO proud to have fun tidbits of info to share I’ve picked up along the way. I’m leaving the small minded me behind in 2019 with the people I allowed to shame me into feeling that way. I LOVE the community forming here and on my blog and I LOVE watching us support each other. So... yeah— I’m super happy that @parenting thinks I have worthy things to share. Now, YOUR TURN. Let me know something about you that should be applauded right now. Please... tell me. Swipe up to article in my stories..! 💪🏼💪🏼👏🏻❤️ Thank you to: @ggbenitezprinc @ographr @goodcarmastudio 👏🏻😘

I’m trying to take a photo to show y’all how great and sassy my new shapewear pieces from @shapermint are, but this kid keeps popping in the picture! Then I realized, wait—he should be in the photo!! One of the reasons I even wear Shapermint is because of him;) My body changed carrying and growing this precious child. (He loves to touch my tummy and tell me he “grew up” in there. ha!) And I may or may not have indulged a little too much in holiday baking, but no one has to know that. Truly, this shapewear tucks it all up in there- “holding me in.” You know what I mean? I don’t know a better way to say it other than that. We all know there are no shortcuts in life, but this comes pretty darn close when I want a flat tummy. Not because I think I need it, somedays I just WANT it… who feels the same way?? We all deserve to feel like superwomen when we want. (I'm wearing the #commando control leggings, @empetua medium tank cami and shaper bra! I’ll add more info to stories;) #Shapermint #WhyIShapermint #ShapermintPartner . . #shapewear #workingwomen #haydenjh #postbabybody #haydenjh #ashleyjones #ashleyajones #mommyandmetime #thisis3 #mirrorselfies
