We’re taking a few weeks to share a little bit about each of our team members here at Milk+Honey! This week, we’re sharing a little about Ashley.
I am a Homeschool mama of two - a 7 year old girl and 2 year old boy. I had two wildly different births and breastfeeding experiences including a VBAC! In high school I was a Majorette and loved to sing at school and church. I married my high-school sweetheart and been married almost 12 years. I love being at the beach, finding a new trail to walk in the woods or really any adventure with my friends and kids! I’ve lived in 3 states and overseas in Europe as a military spouse before settling down roots in Maryland. I studied Elementary Education and have had several fun careers as we moved around with the military. I love meeting new people, traveling, making new recipes and live music! 90’s country and old hymns are my favorite when my kids aren't jammin’ out the SING 2 soundtrack It is my dream to one day own a tiny house or renovated school bus and travel with my family. As a kid I hated my natural red hair and freckles but now I love how unique they are and seeing my daughters freckles come in has been the best!
