Back Home and How Are You, Dreams?

I just got home from being with my Gramps and Grams for two weeks. Actually, I came home Tuesday, but I've been busy blog designing instead of writing. Oh... I think we're getting the design figured out. Anyway! I had so much fun with Gramps and Grams. For the first week, it was just me who went up, and then Hunter came up for the se[...]

The Gravel Road and Other Fun

There is a gravel road by my house I really, really like to walk on because (a) it's something different, and (b) I actually find it really pretty. Last summer I went with Mom, Hunter, and baby BABY Willy! This year just me and Mom and BIG Willy (he's still my baby doog) went and got some good pics! Now I'm with my Gramps and Grams f[...]

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[...]

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.
