My Experience in Las Vegas, Part 4

We're almost to the end of my first Vegas recap series! Don't worry, I'm taking a long break before I get into the next recap, even though that will be equally exciting and unique. These posts take FOREVER to write, and I'm sure they take forever to read, too, so thank you so much for your interest—any bit that you've followed along me[...]

My Experience in Las Vegas, Part 1

I am so excited to write this recap of my girl's trip to THE CITY OF SIN!!! I write it that way for ironic reasons, of course. I've got a lot of explaining to do with this one, and I am going to warn you right off the bat that this post will be a book—or it originally was going to be. Ha, I know, when aren't they, but I think I've been[...]

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[...]

A Girls’ Road Trip to Calgary & Banff, AB #2: Visiting the Mountains

Seeing mountains for the first time is hard to take in at first. That’s what the next two days of our trip mainly consisted of, but we were also blessed to be staying at this nice hotel with an awesome rooftop hot tub. And, on these couple days, we ran into a couple problems along the way, but they got resolved thanks to God. This post[...]

A Girls’ Road Trip to Calgary & Banff, AB #1: All the Views & Bonding

Simply amazing, is how I would describe what was already a week ago. Already over a week ago, I got home from a fun, mostly easygoing road trip with my mom, cousin Kirsten, and my aunt Corrine. They are lots of fun to be with, and Kirsten and Corrine are basically travel agents, and they scored us some amazing deals on hotels as well as f[...]

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[...]

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.
