I received the sweetest early delivery gift from my family: a stunning silver and diamond Miracle Links necklace "linking" my unborn child to my stepson, Huck. It's so sweet how excited Huck is about his little brother. What a precious, meaningful way to show how much I love our "blended family" (read more on my blog at People.com). I love the symbolism of the necklace. I've always thought of life as a miracle, but not until I've had this baby growing inside me did I completely understand how miraculous it is.
And the best part is... I can add to it as our family grows. (If we ever have a little girl, I would incorporate the rose gold link into the existing circles to celebrate a new miracle all over again!). It's one of those staple pieces of jewelry that becomes part of you and your everyday wardrobe.
Our sweet, little gentle man... Taking my face to say I love you. #thisIs3

Yesterday, my sister sent me a passage about praying for our children. It is one of the most powerful things my husband and I can do for our boys. I added it to stories if you want to take a look. Thx @jordynschatte 🙏🏻
Hi!! Hoping to “invite” you guys in and finally show you what I’ve been working on decorating wise. (Lighting!!) Y’all have helped with advice and stuff! Thx🥰 Alas, not quite there for a home tour; it’s happening in sections, though. Up on the blog right now, showing off the new pendant chandeliers from @troylighting and talking about making room for things to come;) 😉
Also- non-sequitur Hayden turns 3 in 2 days. 😳 ok... that’s all! 😭
Hey, funny ladies! Thx for having me on @momsincars. Check out the interview on their IGTV page now. 🌟🌟#HomeKillingQueen is airing/rerunning on @lifetimetv. @deannastag @yolakin
With Simon 🐰in Sheldon’s spot💥. What a run, my friend. Congrats! I ❤️ you @kaleycuoco. 🌟
Ps- it’s my Mom’s birthday. She really never loves photos I post of her, but I had to #tbt to these here on the set of @bigbangtheory_cbs and in Penny’s room (where I was explaining the art of a selfie— got a little close). I love you, Mom- aka the greatest Nana in the world.
Last Pic is after the taping of the final show that airs tonight. #bringtissues 😭
Post ps- in finding these photos, I found dozens more. Highlighted just a few memories on the blog (Hayden was such a babe) if you want walk down the lane with me. 😉
Looking for rainbows after the morning rain. ☔️🌈Come on, sunshine! I see you peeking.🌦🌥⛅️🌤☀️ #rainydayoutfit
We did it! 💥💥 woo-hoo. In a million years I never thought I’d be able to say the kids and I canned strawberry lemonade marmalade🍓🍓 (and Joel made Texas Maple Jalapeño Peppers!!). 🌶
So, if you’re on our Christmas List…. yep, you just might get a handmade box of goodness. #ad Check out the blog today with @ballcanning for our exact recipes, photos, childhood memories and even a video (for proof we did it)! If I can do it, ANYBODY “can.” Congrats on 135 years, Ball® jars! #Ball135 Pick up these Nostalgic Ball® Aqua Vintage Jars on your next @Target run;) Thank you @ographr for #preservingmemories 📸! #haydenjh #perfectpicnic #AshleyAJones.com #mommyandson
I certainly know how to pick a good filter (first pic😜)... and the guy’s not bad, either😉. #mcm today and everyday are these boys here. We’ve (ok, I’ve) squeezed a lot into the past month. Thx for being by my side for it all. I love you ❤️ @joelhenricks #mondaymotivation
Oh happy day to the moms out there on the hardest and most rewarding journey. Huck made me a bonus mom, then Hayden made me a mama—- my own mother a GRANDmother and my sister @jordynschatte the best aunt in the world. 😍❤️ these boys love their Grandma Shirley and Grandma Debbie, too.
And to those of you out there wanting and struggling to be a mama, or have another baby (like us)... or are bonus moms to loved ones, four-legged fur babies or those that feel loss today- 🙏🏻 A huge hug to you.

Y’ALL. This is a long post warning. This morning, I got to visit the couch at @goodmorninglalaland to chat about life, blogging, and #Homekillingqueen airing TOMORROW night on @lifetimetv (swipe for edited clip). My favorite question from @jezlan was this: how to you balance it all? The truth is, sometimes I do, most times I do not. When I try to be all things at the same time, I fail. Does anyone hear me? I had to laugh cause I ran out of the house with w a curling iron in my hand hoping to touch up my hair from rain in LA- which is bizarre in May. A wreck on Beverly Glen in the canyon left me behind schedule. I ran into the studio kinda panicked. They were so calm and welcoming (and it’s a LIVE SHOW)! They already had a full set up of peeps to chat with, but they switched the set up to accommodate me cause I was due back at home soon. Our nanny couldn’t make it today and my husband took his conference call from the house (thx @joelhenricks) to be with Hayden but I needed to be back shortly
so he could make his 11 o’clock at Disney. 😰😰 The show could not have been sweeter & cooler!! Thank you also to @robmackofficial and @drerin.tv! I made it back and my sweet boy greeted me saying, “How’d you do, mommy?” Be still my heart. To circle back around, I barely balanced it all today. And this is all before 11 o’clock. And just one tiny moment of my life. We post the pretty, but in between shots... there’s the real. And I wanna show you more of my “real.” To all you mamas out there doing the juggle, #HappyMothersDay. I feel you! I’m almost in tears writing this cause so many of us have our hearts in the right place, but it gets tough sometimes! Tell me the tough!!! I wanna hear! Take a moment for yourself this weekend (if you can squeeze it in😉 between squeezing your kids!). Oh and watch tmw if you can. 🤣 how do you juggle?! Tips? Lol
Um..!!! Queen of Mean! Lol I’ve never been called a mean girl before... 🤣first time for everything. Thx for the chat @abcsoapsindepth about #HomeKillingQueen premiering THIS Saturday on @lifetimetv. 😉And thx @andreacanning for writing such a juicy supporting role!! #loveYourHairHopeYouWin

Good day shooting at the beach with the little man! Now I’m heading toward Warner Brothers to join my sweet friend on her last night of ever taping @bigbangtheory_cbs. She’s opened her “dressing room” doors to us for years. It’s been such fun hanging in Penny’s room. What a landmark this is! ❤️ now excuse me while we 😭😭😭.
Big day ahead. Dreaming about a moment to myself later with a @FAGE Total Split Cup. (Full disclosure: this photo was re-enacted for this #ad. For real life snapshots at home with #FAGE, head to the blog😜 New post up;) #LiveLiveEat #begoodtoyourself #probiotics #protein
