A Big Update

You guys, I could cry. I hate to start another post out with "ya I'm actually not dead just inexcusably BUSY" but almost a year later, here we are again. I would say a lot has happened, and for me it has, but mostly it's just college being college in that I really don't know what free time is anymore. No but in all seriousness, most of t[...]

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[...]

Weeks of Reflection

My family took their annual trip up to Canada where they would be fishing for a whole week, and this city-loving-girly-girl took a pass on that last year and did so again this year. I did spend the two years before that going on the trip with them, and while I highly enjoyed the experience of seeing another country and the outdoors in tha[...]

Bailing on Canada | Estherville & Okoboji 2k18

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[...]

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[...]

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.
