My Worst Photos I’ve Taken (That I Actually Kept…) of the Year

Inspired by Sarah from Venus Trapped in Mars's worst food photos she's taken this year, I thought I'd do not just food, but ALL of the worst photos I've taken from 2015. And I actually kept them. 1. Snacks from a rest area I got... Well, if you're going to take a picture of them, at least be creative with it. 2. WHAT IS THIS?![...]

I use a lot of songs to associate different moods with my stories, and here are some of them. I think of Des Moines, hospitals, and other deep stuff w[...]

Quotes I Don’t Agree With

Pinterest has tons of quotes you can find. There are a lot of quotes I've found and really liked, but there are others that I just don't agree with. At all. Today, we're going to talk about some of the common ones I see in life, travel, and sports that just don't click with me. I'm not meaning to bash the people who said them, either[...]

Speaking of Des Moines Fun: Trans-Siberian Orchestra

There is snow on the ground, so what better atmosphere for me to recap the amazing concert I attended a few nights ago in Des Moines? I went with my parents to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra perform at Wells Fargo Arena (same place I watch hockey), and it was so much fun. First off,  sorry to my Snapchat friends who had to see at leas[...]

Reasons I Love Hockey

I think you all know by now that I really like hockey. Ever since the two games I went to last spring, I've loved it. It also helps when your favorite player is really good plus he's HOT. It makes it all that more fun to watch... Despite my brother saying I only like hockey because of that, that's not true, and here's why based on pi[...]

The Problem with the Media

Alright, let's admit it. I'm sure most of us have one social site we really love. You might not think that way at first, but think about how many times you check it, how many times you post, etc. Think about those news sites you check, or all those new movies and books and songs you watch and read and listen to.

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.
