My name is Ashleigh and I’m a 20-something wife, mommy, sister, daughter, granddaughter, and friend!I am a former teacher turned stay-at-home mommy, Army wife, and blogger. I initially started this blog in order to document my pregnancy, but now it has become so much more. I blog about everything- frustrations, venting, mommyhood, wine, disappearing groomsmen, OCD psychos, the cry-it-out method, army life, dieting, link-ups, giveaways, and more!
Your 5 favorite things
Call me a tad sentimental…
1. My wedding ring and what it represents.
2. The diamond necklace my daughter gave me for my first Mother’s Day.
3. All of my TOMS- hello comfortable!
4. Our family pictures.
5. My bed- seriously the most comfortable bed on the planet!
What do you think you have gained from blogging?
I have definitely gained a new found love for writing. I find that putting my thoughts down, negative and positive, is a very therapeutic process for me! And if someone doesn’t like, it really isn’t my problem. I say what I want, when I want, with no regrets.
Biggest accomplishment or thing you would like to accomplish this year.
I want to learn to be a more patient mother and wife. I think learning to sit back and enjoy the small things would be huge for me. When you are part of an Army family, you are constantly thinking about the future- will he deploy? Where will we move next? I just want to learn to stop and enjoy the very moment that I am in.

About Me:
Hi All! I’m Vicki from My Vickilicious Life … I’m a twenty-something from NYC. I have recently become a FitFluential Ambassador and am proud of the recent changes I have made towards living a healthier life! I blog about anything & everything that is on my mind at any given moment. I love link-ups & currently co-host two of them: The Nail Files & Blogger’s Biggest Loser. It’s taken awhile, but I’m learning that sometimes you just have to laugh (especially at yourself) and let go of expectations. Life should be about the journey not the destination …
My Five Favorite Things:
- My boyfriend
- My Family
- All things electronic (My laptop, Kindle, iPhone)
- Accessories (Scarves & Nailpolish)
- My Keurig
What do I think I have gained from blogging? I think the blogging community is an awesome place. I am honored to have made true friends even if I’ve never met them in person. Blogging has also rekindled my love for writing, reading and further enables my addiction to makeup/nailpolish/scarves among other things 😉 I get so much love & support from my blogging peers every single day and I think it is the truest blessing!
Biggest accomplishment or thing I would like to accomplish this year: I would love to continue on my weight-loss & fitness journey and finally get to my goal weight. I am so proud of the accomplishments I have already made (cutting out both diet & regular soda). I have “tried” many times in the past to make changes but I have never followed through fully = am truly passionate about reaching my health & fitness goals this time and I hope to follow through until my goals are met! I hope you will visit my blog sometime and follow me on my journey to being healthy & where-ever else the path may lead ….

They Call Her Meghan is about my day to day life and things I find interesting. I write about my crazy family, my awesome friends, and just my life in general! I have realized in the last couple weeks I need to focus on writing for me & it’s not all about the followers. I want TCHM to be a place where I can look back 5 years from now & say oh wow, that’s how I was then, and this is how I am now! Stop by & say hi!
My five favorite things would have to be:
1. Writing
2. My puppy dog Cooper
3. Blogging
4. My best friend/sister Mady
5. Reading
With blogging, I have gained a voice and a place for me to be me. At home and in real life, I feel like I’m just another girl, with blogging, I let my personality and thoughts shine and often don’t leave much out. I love the fact that my blog is my place and how people remember me and that nobody can take it away from me,
I would love to graduate college and get my first big girl job, but we’ll see how that goes!
