i was born with a song inside of me

Hi loves! Happy Wednesday. Gosh, time is flying by isn't it? I'm so busy this week again with work and school. So today I'm keeping it short and sweet!

First, I want to introduce you to a lovely lady. Ashley blogs over at From Ashley to Awesome. She blogs about anything and everything, and her little girl is the cutest! She even has an etsy shop so be sure to check that out!
From Ashley to Awesome

Hey Ashley! Tell us about yourself.

Hey All, I'm Ashley and I blog over at 'From Ashley to Awesome'. I'm a wife to an amazing acupuncturist named Mark, mother to a smart and beautiful almost 5 year old girl named Amelia, a crafting addict, photographer wanna be and I do daycare out of my home. I love spending time with my family. We keep very busy here in Oregon and always try to add a little awesome to each day.

Why do you love blogging?
I have loved to write since I was a little girl.
Growing up I always exceeded my grade level in writing and I took upper level writing courses for fun in college. I started my blog as a way to keep my family and close friends up to date on what we are up to. I never thought my blog would be much more than that. I fell in love with blogging immediately, everything about it. The blogging community is full of amazing people and I love following along and getting to know new bloggers. My blog is a little slice of me and I'm glad that I get to share it with others.

What does a typical day look like for you?
A typical day for me... are you ready for this. I wake up around 6am, shower and get my house picked up. Around 7:30 the little kids I watch start to arrive (anywhere between 1 and 4 kids, 2 years and under). I make breakfast, give the babies their bottles, have play time, change diapers and then it's time for a morning nap. During nap time I either clean my house and try to blog, but if my daughter Amelia is awake then we snuggle and read books, watch a movie, do a craft project, work on some preschool type work or just sit around and laugh. After nap time it's back at it with having a snack, changing diapers, playing, walking to the park if it's nice, changing diapers, making lunch, giving bottles, play time and then afternoon naps. During afternoon naps I almost always try to work on my blog. My husband gets home between 1-2 so we eat lunch and catch up on the day. Amelia usually watches a show or plays quietly during this time. After the littles wake up I change diapers, fix a snack and we have play time. Moms arrive anywhere between 5:30 and 6. Once the kids have all walked out the door I usually sit down for a second and check FB. Then I get started on my homework (I'm taking a photography class through the college). I try to sew or make jewelry a few times a week for my Etsy shops. Thankfully my husband usually makes dinner for us so I have time to do this stuff. Then I get the house picked up and do a little blog stuff. Amelia starts getting ready for bed and I tuck her in. She likes to read books in bed or have me sing songs to her. I usually lay my head down around midnight (or later) these days. And then it's back at it the next day.

This week, I'm listening to Day that I Die by Zac Brown Band


Here are the lyrics:
Early morning in a motel room,
Sunshine trying to creep on through.
Lost Sleep but I found a tune,
Stuck inside my head.
Cigarettes and tank of gas,
Headed off to nowhere fast,
Gotta find a way to make this feeling last.

Cause I believe that I,
Was born with a song inside of me.
Never question why,
I just kept on chasing that melody.
And as time goes by,
It's funny how time can make you realize,
We're running out of it.

On the day that I die,
I wanna say that I,
Was a man who really lived and never compromised.
And when I've lived out my days,
Until the very end,
I hope they find me in my home, a guitar in my hands.
I hope they find me in my home with my guitar in my hands.

Whoa, oh.
Whoa, oh.

A part of dawn to be ashamed of,
But good people are supposed to be up.
But I found peace with the path I took,
As I lay down my head.
Crossroads you gotta choose,
Which way do we win or lose.
But every bone in my soul says I sing on through.

Cause I believe that I,
Was born with a song inside of me.
Never question why,
I just keep on singing these melodies.
And as time goes by,
Its funny how time can make you realize,
We're running out of it.

On the day that I die,
I wanna say that I,
Was a man who really lived and never compromised.
And when I've lived out my days,
Until the very end,
I hope they find me in my home, a guitar in my hands.
I hope they find me in my home with my guitar in my hands.

Whoa, oh.
Whoa, oh.
Whoa, oh.
Whoa, oh.

We all go, we all go,
It's all over 'fore you know.

I believe that I
Was born with a song inside of me.
Never question why,
I just keep on singing these melodies,
And as time goes by,
Its funny how time can make you realize,
We're running out of it.

On the day that I die,
I wanna say that I,
Was a man who really loved and never compromised.
And while I live out my days,
Until the very end,
You can find me in my home, a guitar in my hands,
And you can find me in my home with my guitar in my hands.
