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[...]

Now I'm going to tell you what we can learn from a hockey game referring to the game I attended just a month ago for my birthday. With all the pictures, of course. So he[...]

My Worst Photos I’ve Taken (That I Actually Kept…) of the Year

Inspired by Sarah from Venus Trapped in Mars's worst food photos she's taken this year, I thought I'd do not just food, but ALL of the worst photos I've taken from 2015. And I actually kept them. 1. Snacks from a rest area I got... Well, if you're going to take a picture of them, at least be creative with it. 2. WHAT IS THIS?![...]

Peace

Last night Hunter, Amanda and I walked my fave gravel road and took some more pics! I like having my picture taken, okay. Enjoy the backgrounds that I made Amanda include, and then I'm going to talk about other random things like why I am carrying two water bottles. They were for Amanda and Hunter. I don't drink water. ;D I do, but o[...]

We have the coolest storm clouds, so here are some pictures I've taken over this summer. *All images are mine and are for viewi[...]

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.
