My Goals for 2024

Hi everyone! Welcome back to a regular post! If you've been following my stories on Facebook or Instagram, you'll know that roughly every week, I've been checking in and asking if you have any questions for me about anything related to my life or blog or whatever it may be or if you have any prayer requests—I seriously do love to know[...]

Despite feelings of sadness that arose upon having to leave Calgary, I was also feeling a sense of excitement and curiosity at what was to come—a mindset this trip instilled in me for not only our actual vacation, but about life in general. As I go into recapping these last few exciting days of our trip—where we were surprised and exc[...]

A Girls’ Road Trip to Calgary & Banff, AB #3: In the City

This was the day of my trip that made my dreams come true. That may be a little dramatic but not really because I have been dying to see real skyscrapers since I’m pretty sure the BUILDINGS in Des Moines don’t classify as that. As Calgary was our main destination on this trip, I was thrilled to finally start exploring all this big cit[...]

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[...]

Let’s Catch Up

One of the fun things about the end of the year is looking back. Reviewing the goals. The dreams. The fun moments. The painful moments. Using those as guidance as you head into the new year. And dreaming new dreams and setting new goals. It's not exactly the new year yet, but I'm impatient and would really like to review my yearly goals.[...]

My Traveling Wish List

I love to travel, though I haven't very much. When my family went to Florida back in May, that was my first serious trip, and I want to do more of that. Here is my travel wish list with reasons why I want to visit all these places, along with links to beautiful pictures that are NOT MINE. But when I visit, I'll remake them, and then[...]

Something Special: Car Rides | Link Up

Remember that post series I started once upon a time? There were still two posts left. It was over memories and my dreams way back when. And like I said, there were two posts left to complete it. Just because I needed a blog facelift doesn't mean I face lifted these off the face of the earth. I'm still gonna do them, just like Christ[...]

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.
