A little bit about me

Hello!
My name is Ashley, and I am a mother to two young men. My oldest is 10 years old, was a NICU baby, and required a lot of special care in his first few years of life. He is an excellent student in school, and we are so proud of him! My youngest is 6 years old;, he is also an outstanding student, as well as an all-around athlete. They are both very different, but have made me a better and more rounded parent and child care giver for it! I love being around children, watching them learn and grow with the world around them, and would love to continue to do what I'm naturally good at as they continue to grow and find their own places in their world.
