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. Cat mom to our precious rescue cat Draino, and our sweet angel kitty Pepper who crossed the rainbow bridge. 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!

📔 Meet my very first @laureldenise planner!
 📔 Meet my very first @laureldenise planner!

I snagged the Portrait version in the Iconic cover literally two minutes after launch—and good thing I did, because it sold out just two hours later. 😱

This beauty has a July start, so now I’m over here in mid-April trying to figure out how to dive in early… can anyone else relate? 😅 
 
I was totally influenced by @amandasfavorites! A HUGE congrats to her for designing her very own dream planner with Laurel Denise, be sure to check that one out also! 
 
➡️ Swipe to see all the details and why I’m so excited to start planning with this gorgeous layout!
