The creators and writers at Naptime Tales are sister-in-laws originally from central Illinois. Naptime Tales started when they both had some free time during each of their first child’s naps. Almost 4 years and 5 kids later, they continue to share their stories of Motherhood and support others on this wild ride. From baby registries to cracked nipples and potty training to starting kindergarten, these Ashleys promise to share the good, bad and down right ugly.

Ashley B is a newly relocated East coaster and loving every minute of it. After 5 years in human resources, she decided to stay home when her daughter was 9 months old. Now a mother to both a daughter (5 years) and son (2 years) she keeps busy with her photography and design businesses.
Fun facts about Ashley B:
– I color code everything, even if it’s in my head.
– Once a lover of all things made of cotton and fluff, I truthfully hate stuffed animals with a burning passion. Motherhood has done this to me.
– I love coffee but I force myself to wait until nap time to make a cup so I can enjoy it in peace.
– My passion is photography. Nothing makes me happier than capturing memories for my kids and for other families. Difficult kids are my specialty, because I have 2 of my own.
– I used to live in heels, suits, straight hair and makeup. I traded it in for yoga pants, shoes with orthopedic inserts, a natural curly nest and pale face. Most of the time I look like I was hit by a bus, but I wouldn’t trade this time for anything.
– My favorite season is fall and my favorite holiday is Halloween.
– My son was named after a curious Jack Skeleton. My daughter, Layla, has her own song.
– My favorite food is cookie, brownie or cake batter. My husband is convinced that if anything can kill me, it’s going to be a bad raw egg.
– I love glow stick dance parties in our living room to Queen.
– I haven’t slept in about 3 years.
