Ashley Baker
Hey, I’m Ashley. I’m a wife to Matt, and mom to my precious kiddos, Evelyn (born 2013) and Theodore (born 2016). I’m a Tennessee native and Southern girl through and through. I’m pretty sure sweet tea and gravy run through my veins, and I’m on a mission to perfect my biscuit recipe.

You can catch more of my adventures in taming the circus of motherhood over at 3 Mom Circus.

Easy Summer Granola: Cooking with Kids
