about

My name is Ashley, I am a mom.  I have a very tall husband and I am very short.  We have two young boys that keep me busy.  We each addition and change to our lives I have to learn to evolve.  This blog is the birth of another change.  This one is for me and I am super excited about it.  I love being busy and find it an awesome challenge to juggle all the parts of me in a day and feel like I accomplished what I wanted to.

Sadly, cleaning and picking up is not the top of my priorities.  I would much rather play with my kids, exercise or sew.  My blog will involve a little bit of this and a little bit of that as I play around with the creativity and ideas I have running through my head.

What exactly does eclectic ebbe mean?  Well, eclectic of course is a little of this and a little of that and ebbe (pronounced ebbay) is an Italian slang for What's up!  My husband lived in Italy for 2 yrs, serving a mission for our church and I wanted a peace of him involved in this little adventure of mine.  Some of my creativity does come from him, but so far I am the working hands.  I can't wait to get him behind my sewing machine though!

I hope you will like what you see.  Thanks for stopping by and please please share your constructive comments with me.  I would love to hear from you.
