🎉Happy birthday, Ashley Herlocker! 🎉
So, what does a typical day look like for the wife of a small-business owner?
Well… there really isn’t a “typical” day! 😂
During the school year, most days involve a whole lot of driving, carpooling, and shuffling our four kids from one place to the next. Between school, activities, appointments, and everything in between, my car sometimes feels like my second home! 🚗
When I’m not busy being Mom, I help behind the scenes with South Georgia Turf Management as much as I can. A lot of what I do happens behind the curtain — helping with back-office tasks, running errands, figuring things out, and occasionally even answering the phones when Amy is off. ☎️
What do you enjoy most about your job?
One of my favorite roles is probably being Brett’s sounding board. I get to hear the ideas, the plans, the wins, the frustrations, and sometimes the “I have an idea…” conversations that turn into something completely new. I love being able to support him and encourage him as he works to grow the business. It’s been extremely rewarding to have a front row seat from day one.
What has been the biggest challenge and how did you overcome it?
Honestly, when you’re building something from the ground up, everything feels like a challenge at first. 😂
In the beginning, every new hurdle felt like, “Okay… how are we going to figure this one out?” And then, little by little, you figure it out. You learn, you adjust, and you keep moving forward.
You don’t have to have it all figured out when you first start, you just have to be willing to learn, solve the next problem, and keep going.
Favorite way to spend a day off?
A perfect day is spent together outdoors watching our kids play, whether that’s the beach or just out in the country riding around or fishing.
Favorite snack/food?
Easy - chocolate chip cookies. They are my weakness!
Favorite book/movie?
Currently, I am loving Emma M Lyon. I love to read, so you can always find me reading something.
If you could have any superpower, what would it be and how would you use it?
I wish I had the power to travel at warp speed so I didn’t have to spend so much time in the car!
