Hello everyone! Welcome back to the blog. Thank you so much for checking out my second Las Vegas series and following along. It's been almost nine months since I went on this trip...yikes. I've got to prioritize this blog more. Just think of everything I could do with more time! And now I have time and this is my first time working on th[...]

My Experience in Las Vegas, Round 2 (Part 1)

I'm so excited to finally share my trip recaps to Las Vegas (again) and Nashville next!! These next couple posts are going to be all about Las Vegas with my cousin, Kir, and aunt Corrine. We went in January this time around, only a couple months after my trip with my mom, during the 4th-6th. Kir wanted to go on a trip for her birthday, w[...]

My Favorite Christmas Songs

Well, it's time to start thinking about Christmas already! What a joy it is to get in the Christmas mood and spirit and reflect on the sort of "beginning" to the story of our salvation (even though God had it planned all along...). As the days go by and I get older (how pathetic do I sound right now), I keep realizing how important it is[...]

Winter Things to Encourage Your Heart

Last fall when my high school was doing hybrid classes, on one of the "online" days for PE I had to plan my own workout for half an hour, so usually I would walk around my property with Willy for that time. While doing that, I always marveled at the different sights and views of my property, especially as the autumn season really settled[...]

What Opening Presents Shows Me About Living in the Moment

When it comes to opening presents, I’m still a kid at heart. I remember on Christmas Eve this year, a few hours before supper, I asked my mom, “When are we eating presents?” I had meant to ask when we were eating, since we always open our presents after supper, but clearly my excitement got ahead of me. As the moment finally ca[...]

The Year That Changed the Game: Recap of 2019

2019 was a pivotal year for me. I think it was one of my better ones, not that it was always easy, of course, but I thank God for providing me with so much this year. His blessings come in all sorts of ways and are not always in the likeliest of places or where you’d expect to see His work. I’m actually really excited to recap this ye[...]

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[...]

What is Christmas Really About?

This day in age, it seems like nobody knows what Christmas is really about anymore. All those gift guides and red Starbucks cup pictures... I've forgotten: what is Christmas really about? I'm going to take a journey through my photos to find out. Oh yes, I remember now. It's about going to Walmart and admiring all the pretty decorati[...]

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.
