My Mum Ashlee

 My Mum Ashlee

My mum’s name is Ashlee. Her hair is down to her back and she has curly hair too. She wears track pants and wears size 16 T-shirts. Her height is 169 cm, she’s not short but not tall either. She has has a white freckled face.

She likes me reading to baby and she never growls me. I always make her breakfast, a cup of tea or a coffee but she doesn't like it now. I also do the dishes for mum. I always put the lazy boy for her.

I will do everything but she sometimes she gets angry at me because I don’t listen sometime. She always gives me a gigantic HUG and she always drives me to camp, school, Ocean's basketball sometimes and she takes me to the beach. One more thing she gives dad a cuddle and kisses because she loves him.
