A Weekend in St. Louis | Gateway Arch, Botanical Gardens & More

Welcome back and thank you for tuning into the final post of my St. Louis trip recap! This was a fun weekend trip I took last summer with my best friend, Kelsey, to see Niall Horan in concert and explore the city. If you haven't already, be sure to read the first post recapping our drive down, the actual concert, and what we did the firs[...]

My Goals for 2024

Hi everyone! Welcome back to a regular post! If you've been following my stories on Facebook or Instagram, you'll know that roughly every week, I've been checking in and asking if you have any questions for me about anything related to my life or blog or whatever it may be or if you have any prayer requests—I seriously do love to know[...]

On Beginning Again

Hi everyone! Another long time with no post. When I thought about whenever I was going to blog again, of course I had my list of reasons for my absence, such as finals for school, being busy, etc., but really, I could tell something was off that went far deeper than that. After all, I’m a pretty passionate person, and I love to make tim[...]

Be Purposeful to Change Your Life | 2020 Goals

I’ve noticed another trend, looking back on the various goals I’ve set for myself over the years. I’ve always been one to have big aspirations, and there’s nothing wrong with that, but I’ve also noticed how year after year, some of the things keep getting listed over and over as my goals. Maybe you can relate? It’s certainly n[...]

How God Is Teaching Me More Than I Ever Dreamed & Other Updates

I wanted to take the time to write a “lighter” post because I think Iowa is maybe in the clear for lighter days? I pray so, anyways. I’m a summer girl and live for the warmer weather. I can’t stand being cold. And so far I think we’ve been transitioning decently, at least compared to other years! How are all of you doing? As alw[...]

I Want to Hear Your Thoughts | Reader Survey

Today’s post is not as exciting as others, BUT don’t exit out yet because instead of me doing all the talking today, I want to hear from YOU. I know over the course of my blogging I’ve done probably a million random surveys and you’re all sick of them by now, but this is one survey—if you never take one again—I would REAL[...]

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[...]

The Best in Faith

Now that I've been blogging for FOUR years (sometime this August was the beginning...you can read my first post here haha), I thought I would round up some of my posts where I share the life and faith lessons I've learned. Chances are that some people have not been following me since clear back then or maybe would appreciate going back an[...]

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.
