Let’s Talk About Willy

Back this spring, I did a post all about my "doog" Willy. I thought it was time we did a part two of his life story, what do you say? Yeah, of course you say yes to something about him... First thing you need to know... He's gotten huge and loves to trample the crap out of everyone. Especially in the car. I so appreciate that...[...]

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,[...]

Yay, Writing + Your Complete Guide to Preparing for NaNoWriMo

Today I just got my book printed out for the second time, so now it's time to FINISH COMPLETELY editing the thing! It makes me excited because, well, after that is the fun part. Or maybe the not so fun part. There's probably both in there, but I am trusting God wholeheartedly because He is the one who gave me the idea, the strength t[...]

I Saw “The Martian” and Other Important Life Events

Yes, I redid my blog design. We're just going to go with it okay? Needless to say, I saw a design I really liked and wanted to try something new. Wanna know Squarespace perk #284? Since my old design was on another template it's saved under "Templates", and I can re-activate at any time, and same with this one. I don't even know if I[...]

Blog Pages 101

Welcome to my personal opinion of what I believe is the hardest part of your blog: the pages. I think they're the hardest because this is what attracts the most visitors, so you want your pages to make a good impression! I hate pages, I feel like they're never good enough, and I just never feel like I have it right! Just recently, I[...]

The Problem with the Media

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[...]

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.
