Happy Mother’s Day

Posted on May 8, 2011 by AshleyT

I’d like to take a study break to wish all the Moms out there a Happy Mother’s Day but an extra big one to my Mom! I’m stuck in the library studying for 2 more exams and I’m really sad I can’t spend the day with her.  Love you Mom!!!!

Home Is Where The Heart Is

Posted on April 8, 2011 by AshleyT

You hear that phrase over and over but no matter how many times you hear it it’s still true. I’m heading home for a month and I couldn’t be more excited to see my family and friends.  My 27th (wow) birthday is on Saturday so I can celebrate it at home which makes me ecstatic to say [...]

Family Time

Posted on November 30, 2010 by AshleyT

They came, they saw, they conquered. The family hit all of the important spots (including a near death experience at Abbey Road). We did a pub tour of my neighborhood and found our new “local” pub.  Walmer Castle is amazing.  The thai restaurant is delicious and then you can move downstairs to lounge in comfy [...]

Welcome Bag Ready To Go

Posted on November 23, 2010 by AshleyT

My family are on the plane right now.  Almost here! I made up a cute little welcome bag for them when they arrived at the hotel. A couple cupcakes from Lola’s (www.lolas-kitchen.co.uk/) and a bottle of Beaujolais Nouveau 2010 (which I know my Dad loves). The cupcakes are strawberry, rocky road, peanut butter & coconut. [...]
