I'm not going to be another one of those people whining about how harmful and bad stereotypes are because let's just be real, they're not going away, and a lot of times they end up being true. But it's also true that a lot of times the vast majority can be misleading, and that is certainly true for how people view Christians. The thing i[...]
I love finding new songs to put on repeat, and listening to my favorite songs is my most favorite way to relax and unwind. Music can be so powerful and comforting. I’ve shared some of my favorite Christian and inspirational songs on the blog before, like in this post here, and today I thought I’d share ten songs I’ve been enjoy[...]
Okay, I have loved fashion and wearing pretty things for as long as I can remember. It's obvious that my sense of style has definitely evolved as I've gotten older—despite the pink and sparkles, which is never going to change I promise. When I'm picking out new clothing, I try to focus on these three things mainly: how pretty it is (duh[...]
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[...]
Long time with no writing! I was hoping to update my blog as much as possible over my vacation spent with family when my parents went to Canada, but we got to be so busy that it made it a lot harder. But I took tons of pictures, so I'm thrilled to recap this now! I got home yesterday and just finished unpacking a little bit ago (as of 3:4[...]
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[...]
Dear Ashlee, This is me to talking to you. Duh. It's a letter to MYSELF about basketball. Why am I writing this? Because I know you, and I know you've had a lot of concerns about basketball. This isn't going to be a rant about travel leagues or anything, this is just a letter to you about things. Some of your concerns are fitting in,[...]
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. It's not bad to like[...]
I've been playing basketball since I was in third grade, and I was the typical scared-of-the-ball girl. At the time, there happened to be a church league for girls first-third grade going on. I would get to play games with others girls who signed up. I got a specific team and t-shirt jersey, and I thought that was so cool. My parents[...]
