I always hate taking such a long time away from blogging as, once again, I have so much to say that I need to catch up on. Howe[...]

How to Prepare for a Photoshoot

I was so thankful I got to have my dream photoshoot this summer for my senior pictures. I’d dreamed for the longest time about getting professional pictures in the city and really being thoughtful about my clothes and vision so that the aesthetic would match that of my blog brand. I’ve always loved photography, so getting any pictures[...]

What Web Design Has Taught Me About Life and God

I do not consider myself a professional website designer by any means, but ever since the creation of this blog I’ve had to learn how to do it. It’s a hobby and passion of mine I don’t talk about as much, save for the fact that I redesign this blog constantly and have lived to tell about it here. I have been thinking more about this[...]

Another Blogging Recap (Over a Year at It)

It's so hard to believe that a year ago, I wrote this post of a blogging recap (and also my five million and one blog designs). I mean, wow. I've learned so much through blogging. Some of it was the blogging tips everyone constantly throws out there. But a lot of it was just the purpose of my blog in general and trusting in God. I l[...]

A Blogging Recap

I am doing this post because I've grown a lot since August 13, 2014, when I first opened this as a blog for my writing updates only. With summer coming up and my plans for growing this site even farther, I figured it would be a good time to reminisce on my archives and previous 38 blog designs. Because I just got a new one. Again. Wh[...]

Introducing: Shae Says

My real life good friend Shae contacted me the other day and asked me about a blog, platforms, design, all that good stuff to go with it. Over the weekend I designed her new blog, and now it's up to her to write some ah-mazing posts! Cause I know she can. Just like I know she can give me more gum. Hahaha, kidding.

Quick Freebie

So today I was designing a cute little geometric background for a friend of mine who asked me to do her new blog design.* It was just a bunch of triangles that would outline her blog like a frame and I just used the colors she picked out. When I was done designing it for her I decided to do one in my colors. Why not? I have some time on m[...]

Hi, I’m Ashlee!

Hi, I’m Ashlee!

Welcome to My Blog

I am passionate about sharing and living for Jesus, authentic storytelling, moving design, and all things girly, just because. Here on my blog, I love writing about all the things God is teaching me in my everyday life to inspire, encourage, and entertain for His glory, above all, and to share an honest, raw view of life, faith, and His light, love, and hope that saves. As an aspiring author, I record my journey of trusting God with all my dreams. I pray this space can help you fall in love with God more deeply, make you laugh, and encourage, challenge, and reassure you as you seek to live a bold, abundant life for Him.
