sandy beaches in april…
I am dreaming of a whole day to myself to just create.
warm weather! 
…warm summer days and playing outside with my kids!
holding my baby bean for the first time (due in 6 days!).
the day that my husband finishes school and we have lots and lots of time TOGETHER!!
a warm place where it doesn’t snow, children are not sick and the Sun always shines! (can you tell I have cabin fever?)
I’m dreaming of nights in the distant future where my baby boy sleeps through the night!
…the next date day with my husband.
…this little baby inside of me being a girl!
I am dreaming of summer Fridays
the day I can wear flipflops again!! Oh how I have missed them!
I’m dreaming of another baby.
I’m dreaming of going more than two weeks without someone in our house getting sick! Warmer weather come quick!!
…a craft room full of Amy Butler fabric, lots of yarn, and scrapbooks as far as the eye can see!
I’m dreaming of sunshine and warmer weather! Enough of the cold and snow!
joining up with a new church plant. Lots of exciting possibilities if that is where God is leading us.
my husband coming home today…after being gone all week and then stuck for 2 days extra due to snow. dream dream dream!
Spring, green grass, sunshine, smell of rain, and flowers! Great giveaway…LOVE her camera straps!!
vacation in San Fran in Sept.
s’mores, bonfires, pudgie pies, fishing, long walks, cool drinks, frisbee playing, sprinkler running, flip flop wearing, fresh mowed lawns, pretty flowers growing….*sigh *
SPRING!!!! Flowers, sunshine, warm weather, and pedicures
…the feeling of my barefeet in dew drenched grass. Right now we have more than a foot (and no end in sight) of the white stuff. March isn’t even “in” yet and he is already roaring.
I love your ruffle butt bloomers~I think I have some of those in store for this “maybe girl” here…and if SHE is actually a HE, I’ll have a few good baby gifts (seems like EVERYONE is pregnant these days around here.)
…the day when we can give our boys the house and yard of our dreams so they have more space to run and play….and I can have my garden!!!!
spring photo shoots! being outside with my camera again…
snow melting and tulips sprouting up!
im dreaming of all things spring… flowers, allergies, greenery, mud puddles, playgrounds, dirty clothes from days outside playing, windows open, walks outside… i could keep going! and i secretly dream of having a little girl to dress up in ruffles… boys are fun but ruffles would be really fun!
my littlest sleeping through the night!!
sunshine!
pink blossems, dew on the grass (instead of frost), rolling down windows and opening my sunroof, concerts in the park, and long runs without a sweatshirt.
a fun-filled camping trip w/ the family!
a new ruffled shower curtain for my bathroom!
My husband coming home from Iraq.
I am dreaming of SPRING!
I am dreaming of babies and the time when God will allow that in our lives.
I love the ruffled bottoms! I have always loved Shey B’s camera straps, but I want to try to do it on my own. Yea right..I doubt I can make anything quite as cute!!
I am not a great seamstress either…but I try too. It’s worth it to try!
I’m dreaming of holding our own ruffle-wearing daughter in my arms very soon. (She’s due in 2 weeks and we have ruffles EVERYWHERE in anticipation of her arrival)
Love the ruffle bloomers, by the way. It’s encouraging to me to see you doing things for your girl now, once she’s here. I keep thinking it’s do or die right now – that if there’s anything I want to make for Hazel, I have to do it now, before she’s born. Good to see that I can relax and make her some ruffle bloomers in a few weeks or months. That squishy little bottom isn’t going anywhere for awhile!
Love all the cute things you do! Thanks for sharing!
making fun ruffle cuteness for etsy.
sleep! My two year-old is going through a bad spell of waking up in the middle of the night.
Im dreaming of the farmers markets….its almost time!! Little sisters ruffles are too cute!
I’m dreaming of…..my five older brothers and how, being the youngest and the only girl, shaped my life in more ways than they can image…..they were such wonderful role models for me and shaped me to become the person that I am today!
I’m dreaming of the day that…I can shop on the girlie side of the store, the day that I can put ruffles, headbands, huge flowers, pinky lacey, frilly girlie girl things on a tiny baby girl of my own.
SPRING!! or warmer weather. I want to get outside! It’s snowing here as I speak.
Luv the Ruffles!! I’ve added them to everything myself my curtains in my kitchen and tank tops. My camera strap needs some ruffle love.
Awesome giveaway!
a nap and maybe a massage.
….green grass!
of spring time. new flowers, big mud puddles, dogwood tree’s, tulips, green grass, sunshine, flip flops, and on and on and on. in a way i’m thankful for cold winters. it gives me a reason to be oh so thankful for all the great things that spring brings.
…my date with my bed tonight
…springtime turning into summertime, refreshing glasses of lemonade and iced tea, changes that are coming into my life, and whipping out my camera to capture it all with the knowledge I’m going to gain from attending a SnapShop!
. . .getting to quit my day job and pursue my personal creative ambitions.
That and getting my mid-remodel house finished. That would be pretty great too.

Sorry, I missed the contest, but I gotta share about this post. My 22 month old daughter, Lily, is officially a fan of your blog. When her daddy is gone during meal times, we sit together and eat, and look at your blog together. She squealed with delight at the ruffle bottom pics of baby sister tonight! She kept doing her “more” sign and pointing to the computer! So of course we had to scroll through previous posts of baby pics sis so she could squeal and smile some more. Thanks for sharing!
i’m dreaming of owning a canon 5d mark II camera
Hi, I’m hoping to make a ruffled baby bloomer. You are inspiring. I am having trouble finding plain bloomers, though. Can you help me?
Shannon
The mailman brought the kids and I each a gift. My gift came in the form of a canvas of sweet little feet. The chalkboard is looking a little too cluttered. I can’t decide if I like it or not. It changes all the time anyway. The kids gift came in the form of a...

Now THAT is funny. I totally pictured this serene moment with all your kids leaning on the wall, just hanging out. Completely cracking up over littlest bro’s face (I’m sure you weren’t at the time). Thanks for sharing! One of my favorite posts!
totally loving it!!
Oh my gosh….I am laughing out loud! Too funny :0)
Thanks for sharing the full picture. I love the feet picture, but everytime I see it I think – how did she get baby sister to stand next to the boys? The mystery is finally solved! You have mad tent making skills!
I love the canvas!! the original makes me crack up
I love the canvas print..nothing better than little toes! Just thought I would throw this out there…mpix.com is having a 50% sale for their 8×10′s until the 27th. You just have to enter 8x10sale in the promo code. I always order from them…good quality and super fast! The 8×10′s will be either 99 cents or $1.24 depending on your paper!
The first time I saw those little feet I wonder what the original picture looked like!!!! that is too cute! I love baby sisters face… “Come on boys get your act together!!!”
My husband makes videos of the kids…and he takes hours of video and cuts it down to 2 minutes..and it is the same thing…final video is serene and beautiful..but there are hours of screaming, yelling and tantrums that didn’t make the cut!
oh my goodness, so funny! I love it..and the look on baby sister’s face is priceless!!!
what are they standing on? A countertop?
LOVE the original – thanks for keeping it real!
Baaaahahahahah! I just died laughing at work – which means it was a quiet grunting kind of laugh so no one could hear.
That is so hilarious. Thank you so much for sharing! I think you just put a smile on EVERYONE’s face who reads this!
I love that picture! So funny to see what was cropped out. Looks like the tent was lots of fun… and by the way, I love the look of the chalkboard!!! Have a great day!
okay, that is hilarious. it’s good to see that your kiddo are always as cooperative as mine.
I love it!
hahahahaha! thanks for sharing the “pre-crop” picture – SO funny! ( :
AWESOME! so glad to see that you have normal-everyday life and not everything is picture perfect….thanks for keeping it real. and of course, we all have to crack up about the before & after. CLASSIC!
Ashley-behind the scenes is the best! I was wonderin how baby girl was “standing?” Love the pajama top and the topless baby!
That is HILARIOUS!! I have loved that photo ever since you first posted it….I love that it’s a “cropped” photo. So funny! Thanks for sharing
This just made me smile big! I had actually wondered what the rest of that photo looked like. Priceless!
Thanks so for sharing smiles all around this morning!
Blessings,
Raechel
soooo funny!
i may have to copy you with that picture.
i love it.
but i will have to cut my boys’ nasty toenails before! actually… i think my kids are too old for this. they are starting to have grown up looking feet.
and my boys have bigger feet than me. already!
so never mind i won’t copy you.
and YES i feel quite often about wanting to crop people out. my day would go so much smoother!
happy thursday sweet ashley!
Oh my goodness…i am laughing so hard! isnt the reality so much different than what everyone else sees? i have been thinking of doing a picture like this with my little ones:) thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks for sharing this. It made me smile and I love it!
this is great. i love how cropping can make so many images go from crap to all that!
Gotta love it!!!
I really did wonder what the top of that photo looked like! Hilarious. Great outtake. I am very interested in canvas photos for our new family room. Thanks for the recommendations! Have a great week.
LOVE IT! Eric will be so proud
I love love love pretend play! I love the picture of the little legs and the orginal even better! Its funny to see what was really going on behind the scenes!!
I started thinking and I wish I could crop myself in lots of pictures. I hate that I am always behind the camera and dont have as many pictures as her and daddy!
Oh that just makes me laugh out loud. I always wondered how little sister was propped up in that one. P.S. Will you please do a tutorial on your ruffle pillows. I need to figure out this ruffle thing.
The before & after is hilarious! What a great post!
Just like everyone else, LOVE IT! I really enjoy when photographers show the original picture, especially when its funny!
Oh that is classic. You always wonder how people get the perfect shot. Thank goodness for cropping.
Hilarious!!
We had the same experience at xmas but I was trying to get cute faces with xmas hats and my cropping was limited….BOO!! I am in love with your indoor camping.
Hahaha, priceless!
I did picture Chris holding baby sister up, but didn’t picture any crying going on! It is a perfect crop!
Oh I *love* the before and after cropping…it’s gorgeous, hysterical, and a lovely *secret* reminder for you about how mama knowa what’s really going on, regardless of what others on the outside see!
I love the canvas! So adorable. And the original is just too funny! Not what I was expecting. It cracks me up.
Love the final cropped canvas! Ashley, would you please share the dimensions of the canvas? Thanks!
Absolutely love this! Who would have thought that such a “perfect” photo came from the original “reality” shot! What an inspiration! I absolutely adore what you have done with the chalkboard. I am trying to gussy up our new apartment and something like this would be perfect!
Oh wow! I love that! May God grant us eyes that crop out what we don’t want to see!!!
Hi! You have become a household name for us. When I chat with my husband, I used to refer to you as “You know that photographer that I follow? Ashley Ann? She mainly teaches classes now? She has three boys and just had a girl? Remember? No? Yeah. Her.” Now! It’s just “Ashley Ann the photographer.” Cool, huh? Maybe he just amuses me. I wonder.
Well, he and I had a good laugh about the crop. That’s AWESOME!
really goog one! jajajaja. I wondered how you take it
awesome photo. and i am still loving that chalkboard and your box tent. what i want to know is how that gorgeous vase of tulips manages to survive there on the coffee table with three boys and a crawler in the house?
Love the chalkboard and love the print too!
I LOVE that chalkboard… you are so creative!
I absolutely love that you showed the before and after of that great foot pic. It shows that you look for the beauty and find it. I don’t think I would have thought to crop the whole top half. Thank you for sharing.
that is so funny. I love cropping out stuff
Completely cracking up over that photo.
Haha! That is hilarious! I wondered how you always got your little ones to cooperate so well!
Thank you for your honesty. Deb
Oh my gosh, the before crop is too funny
I adore the canvas. SO much more special to know the chaos that it really was. Real life. In 30 years you will still think back and smile when you see those little feet. Swoon. Love your new wallpaper too! Is the lovely Katie Daisy behind it?
Ashley-
That’s a great pic with such a story! I love it!
Ohh that made me laugh out loud! And your blog wall paper has fast become one of my favourite things about the blog. =)
oh man. i love the chalkboard and i also love the edited and unedited version of the canvas! cropping is such a friend. your little world is so lovely. thanks for the peek!
I LOVE how you used the chalkboard and canvas above the sofa!
What do you have holding the other photos onto the chalkboard?
I am thinking of doing something like this for my bedroom…putting photos of the two of us over the years on it.
Okay, glad I came to check this out. I had not seen the uncropped version! How perfect. So cute.
absolutely loving it!! a great visual reminder that in any given day there is always something crop-able and beautiful to be taken from each!
love it, love it, love it…so fun to see the “before” of the little feet picture
Ashley, I love this post!! Great job I was wondering if you’d ever posted on how you arrange your photos sometimes in a collage of sorts…a few smaller pictures together within one large photo (like when you post the different participants of your classes photos)…and how you put the border on your photos. Which editing software helps you do this? It makes everything look more pulled together and clean. You are doing a great job!!
Priceless, I love it! Thanks for sharing the possiblities!
I love it. Cropping is great!
[...] my copy cat chalkboard. i moved it to my half bath that gets the most use by guests hoping they would leave us fun [...]
Wow…crazy week. I don’t have much time for posting, but wanted to share a couple of things. #1 Spring Classes at Southern Hospitality (yes, this is just for you local readers) I’ve shared before how much I love April and her cute store Southern Hospitality. Well during the month of March she is offering hospitality...

Hi Ashley–I too am a photographer, but I am also looking into new adventures. Your blog has been a huge inspiration to read!! My true passion as a former art teacher, is children’s artwork. I have designed posters where parents can send me their child’s work, and I will help them display it beautifully in their home. The Etsy store is: http://www.etsy.com/shop/simplycreate

Hi! I just stumbled on your blog last night, and I love it! My etsy shop is:
All pictures below are by Evie S. Let me introduce you to the talented Evie S…..for some of you I am sure she needs no introduction. Evie is fully of lovely ideas. For instance how lovely is this collage of her first pregnancy? On her blog you can also find lovely interviews with talented artists…full...

very cool.
can’t wait to spend some time checking her out!
Thank you Ashley for the sweet compliments and for letting everyone know about A Beautiful Idea!
Evie designed my wedding invitations! She was awesome! I’m so glad to be “reacquainted” with her work bc it was a true pleasure working with her in the past. Thanks for this post!
Love it! Love all of her re-use of old clothing. I know after having my little one nothing really fits the way it should and I would love to bring some attention to chiffon ruffles rather than….my waistline. I am on the hunt to find some clothes to cut and dice.
beautiful indeed! I’m enjoying these introductions to other creative and inspiring blogs
Thank you for sharing this!
Thanks Ashley for recommending Evie.S’s blog, like yours, I love it So pretty and exciting to think of all the new things I need to try!!
I love that pregnancy calendar! I totally want to make one too.. when the time comes, which won’t be for awhile! That repurposed cardigan is very lovely as well!
