More About Make Life Marvelous

Mondays Are More Fun with Avara!

I’m Ashley! Living my thirties era, happily married to my Kyle for more than 10 years now, and cat mom to our elder cat Draino (rescued by my husband from a drain pipe many years ago!). Forever missing our Pepper cat who crossed the rainbow bridge last year.

I’ve loved blogs for as long as I can remember! I finally decided it was time to create my own space in the blogosphere in July of 2019 after putting in 6+ months worth of research and content ahead of time.

 

My lifestyle blog is heavily focused on personal growth and helping you to become the best version of you each day. My personal mission for Make Life Marvelous is to provide you with resources that will help you to not only realize that you have the power to create a life you love, but to actually take the leap of faith to make it happen!

 

Authenticity is very important to me, so with every blog post you read, you’ll know that any opinions I share are honest and my own. I work hard to make this blog a place that you want to come back and visit often, and one that you can trust.

 

If there’s anything else you’d like to know or want to reach out to me, please feel free to email me anytime or use the form on my contact page!

About Me

I'm Ashley, the one-woman village behind this little blog! Living in my thirties era and happily married to my soul mate. Forever missing our rescue cats that crossed the rainbow bridge, Draino and Pepper. I’m obsessed with grabbing iced coffee, watching court cases, check marking my to-do list, fresh air, cozy blankets, helping others, and saying ‘I love you’ before every goodbye.

I'm so happy you're here and can't wait to connect with you on all the marvelous things!

Yes, iced coffee counts! 😉 Sometimes it’s the sma Yes, iced coffee counts! 😉

Sometimes it’s the smallest, simplest things that make us feel most grounded - and those things are worth remembering and incorporating! 

Maybe it’s a morning cup of coffee, spending time in your Bible, listening to your favorite podcast, stepping outside for some fresh air, a few quiet minutes going over your to-do list in your planner, or checking in with someone you love. 
 
Let your tiny anchors remind you to slow down and be present in your everyday life. It all goes by so quickly, sweet friends! 🩷
 
What’s one little thing that helps you feel grounded?
