The Cookbook Challenge

We still have approximately 70 cookbooks left. We would like to challenge our blog readers as well as those who have already purchased a cookbook to sell at least two cookbooks to friends, coworkers, family, neighbors, etc. We would only need 35 people to sell two cookbooks and we would have them all sold.

If you would like to take The Cookbook Challenge, please email me so I can forward instructions to you on how to sell your Love for Ashley Cookbooks, the cost, order forms, etc. You can email me at loveashley@loveforashley.com

We do have more fundraisers in the works, please look at the right side of the blog for future Love for Ashley fundraisers. Soon we will have a separate blog just for Our Fundraisers. Also, sometime in early 2009, the Johansen Family, will be raising funds for biliary atresia research to benefit the American Liver Foundation's Biliary Atresia Fund for the Cure. We plan to organize a walk/run much like "Relay for Life". If you would like to participant in our big fundraiser or if you would like to help organize the fundraiser, please email me at loveashley@loveforashley.com.

Please help us sell all the cookbooks, take The Cookbook Challenge today!

Ashley's Story

“Although Ashley’s liver is failing, she isn’t sick enough to be placed on the liver transplant list. We were told that Ashley would need a new liver by the time she reaches puberty." Ashley was born at the end of July in 1998, but her story doesn’t start there;her story begins when she was just a little peanut in my womb. At 24 weeks gestation we learned we were having a girl, but our little girl had something wrong with her. Imagine sitting in the examining room, and the excitement of learning you are having a girl, then at the same time you hear the silence in the room when something is just not right with the baby. We were told that Ashley possibly had an ovarian cyst. It was normal and not to worry. But something told us it was more than just an ovarian cyst. As soon as Ashley was delivered she struggled to live. The umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck twice, and she was blue. Thankfully the doctor cut the cord immediately and although Ashley was still blue; she was b...

that Ashley was in the hospital after Thanksgiving and before Christmas? She had a bleed. She has varices. Just a little reminder that she is not healthy and has a life threatening liver disease. that we lost our beloved beautiful puppy, Sarge, on January 2. It was sudden, shocking, and sad. We think he had leukemia based on his symptoms. Not sure if we will ever get another dog. Sarge was one of a kind and a perfect fit for our laid back, drama free family. that Ashley made the Principal's Honor Roll her 1st Semester of high school while taking all honors courses. She is beautiful and smart. that Ashley is still dancing for her high school dance team minus a solo this year. She loves being part of the team but really misses competing in her favorite style of dance, lyrical/contemporary. that after a couple years of not having a dance studio to call home. We think we may have finally found just the place. Maybe som...

All About Ashley - Dance, Liver, Life.

Ashley has been busy this year with dance. She is simply amazing and has grown so much as a dancer this year. I am very proud of her. Each year as Ashley continues to dance, it has become increasingly hard to pay for her love of dance. However, some how by the grace of God we are able to continue to support her talent and love. I mean really how can you possibly say no to this. and this... and of course this.... and this too.... Amazing isn't she? Remarkably or miraculously dance seems to be what is keeping Ashley so healthy. Her doctors are in firm belief that her dance is providing her with healing powers that they just don't have. Ashley's liver disease is stable after 13 years of fighting this beast called biliary atresia. Note: I said stable not cured. Her liver function appears to be normal...for now. The only issue we are dealing with is Ashley's platelet count is continuing to drop. A...
