What I Learned from My Reading Diet

I finished reading ten books over the span of a week. I had three nonfiction books I had been needing to read, and my OCD forced me to read them before I got busy on the seven books I bought—which was good, because I'd had them for awhile. I decided to spend as many days as it took just reading all of these. Not just for fun, though. Th[...]

My Happy Place {Estherville, Iowa}

Life is all about perspective. And it's funny to see how one thing could mean the world to somebody and then to somebody else mean nothing. Because it's all about how you see certain things. A prime example of this is the small town my grandparents live in. To so many people it's just a town, and many times not a good town, but to me, i[...]

Ontario, Canada Adventures #1: Animals, Donuts, Goals & More

I was going to make this one big post about our entire trip, but after seeing that I took 73 pictures the day before our trip when we went up to the Cities and the day we spent all day in the car, I realized th[...]

My favorite genre is realistic fiction that has some life lessons, and bonus points if they have faith. I've also been reading some nonfiction stuff over God and different things, so here's some[...]

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[...]

My Angel Encounter

I have wanted to do this post for so long, but a whole list of excuses came up on why I didn't. So today we're doing it. About three weeks ago, I read 'Angels Walking' by Karen Kingsbury, the first in a brand new series. Which speaking of, the second one comes out today! Please someone buy this for me! Her book was amazing (as usual)[...]

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.
