On Beginning Again

Hi everyone! Another long time with no post. When I thought about whenever I was going to blog again, of course I had my list of reasons for my absence, such as finals for school, being busy, etc., but really, I could tell something was off that went far deeper than that. After all, I’m a pretty passionate person, and I love to make tim[...]

Recap of January: What’s Working, What’s Not

As I write this, the sun is finally shining through my house, casting light off the solid dusting of snow we’ve had for this month. I’m already dreaming of warm days, and all this sunshine teases me into thinking we’re already there… With that said, it’s hard to believe the first month of the year is already over with! I mention[...]

What Opening Presents Shows Me About Living in the Moment

When it comes to opening presents, I’m still a kid at heart. I remember on Christmas Eve this year, a few hours before supper, I asked my mom, “When are we eating presents?” I had meant to ask when we were eating, since we always open our presents after supper, but clearly my excitement got ahead of me. As the moment finally ca[...]

How Designer Fashion Taught Me to Dream Big

Ever since I was a young girl, I’ve had a fascination with fashion. You could definitely say it’s become more of a passion with age, but there was always that spark there. My mom has shown me a lot of pictures of me when I was a baby and toddler, and she always picked out the cutest outfits for me, so maybe that’s what instilled in[...]

Life with My Dog, Willy

It’s crazy to think that one of the most lovable members of my family has been neglected on this blog for so long, as my last post recapping his life was in 2015 here! I really believe he has been a blessing from God for all of us, our sweet labrador, Willy. The years have brought with it lots of retrieved geese as he is a hunting dog,[...]

The Best of My Journals

Journaling has changed my life. I know I’ve said that probably a hundred times by now, but I’m not exaggerating in the slightest. If you would have asked me if it changed my life a year ago, when I started doing it more consistently, I probably would have chuckled and said something like sure, it helps, to get thoughts down and s[...]

The Glamorous Side of Fashion: My Best Sparkly Purchases

I’ve always been attracted to the glitz and glam in life, along with pink, of course. Since sparkles are a key element in my personal style (as they are in my blog name, haha), I have made it my mission to incorporate as many sparkly fashion items into my wardrobe as possible. Unfortunately, this isn’t always easy to do, since sparkle[...]

Midnight Thoughts on the Meaning of Life

This is quite a dramatic title, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. In fact, I’m not going to lie, when I thought about what to title this post, it just came to my mind, and I swooned. It may seem a little excessive for what I want to share with you, but it’s actually perfect because I want to post some thoughts I typed[...]

How to Embrace a Season You Don’t Want

Do you ever feel like there was a time in your life when you seemed happier than you do now? Maybe as you’ve gone along, you’ve convinced yourself that things have changed and not for the better, and that’s the reason for it all. I have spent a lot of time thinking about this because as much as I talk about the power of what yo[...]

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.
