About Me

Spread the love

 

Hi, friends! I’m Ashlie and I am so excited you’re here! 

Here’s a little about me…

I’m a wife to my high school sweetheart and Mama to our three sweet boys. Also, a Mississippi girl who grew up surrounded by pecan trees, sweet tea, front porches, hymn singing, and home-cooked meals. Southern living at its finest. Now I’m raising my own family and attempting to recreate an environment that makes plenty of room for memory making. All of which you’ll see sprinkled throughout my blog and social media. 

So much of my life is joyful and I try and find a piece of that in each day. My family and faith are top priorities for me. Life has its ups and downs, especially in marriage and motherhood. Jesus has gotten me through all of it. He is where I find my joy, hope, and purpose. 

I started this blog as a way to keep our extended family up to date as we added babies. Over the years as it’s grown, this whole space has given me much more than I ever expected. I’m so thankful and honored to have a community of women who have come alongside me in this journey. My love for people and writing has manifested into a desire for cultivating this community. I found my voice through a keyboard. I learned to share the beautiful side of motherhood, but also speak life into the struggles. The days of my postpartum depression and anxiety were dark. I found it therapeutic to type out my experience and connect with so many of you who were going through the same thing. 

In addition to motherhood, other topics you’ll find me touching on are home decor, my faith, beauty favorites, affordable fashion, my fitness journey, recipes, free printables and of course, all things southern. 

Without fail, you’ll find me telling ya how it is. There’s no sugar coating it here. You girls will always see me showing you the beauty and the mess. Through it all, I hope to encourage and inspire you! The pro of the internet is that we aren’t confined to a certain city or neighborhood to find community. You’re always welcome here, friend! I just wish I could make us a cup of coffee and pull you out a chair at my table.

✨Standing where our home will be in Louisiana. W ✨Standing where our home will be in Louisiana. We’re leaving Tennessee and moving back. ✨

We felt a nudge about 6 months ago to start praying about moving back to Louisiana. So, pray we did! Lots and lots of it. I swore we’d never leave Franklin, so I was a bit confused as to why the Lord had put this on my heart. But I know that His plans are always better than our own. Month after month I softened to the idea and he started working out all the details. 

During spring break we made a trip to Louisiana to see Daniel’s parents and to drive around with a move in mind. We couldn’t find any homes that we loved, so we started looking at land. Long story short, this property is close to my in-laws and had been on the market for over a year. Over an acre on a lake that hadn’t been scooped up. We truly feel that God held it for us. Our vision for this land is dreamy. It will give us what we’ve wanted which is a bit of land that we could turn into our little oasis, it offers some privacy, and allows us to be close to family. 

We closed on the land two weeks ago, put our house here in TN on the market last Friday, accepted an offer on Monday, and started the details of our new home build. The boys will finish out school and then we’re heading back south in early July. It’s all happened fairly quickly but we know it’s what we’re supposed to be doing and we’re at peace with it all. It’s going to be very bittersweet to leave. We love Franklin/Nashville and our community here, but we’re excited about a new adventure and to be around family.

Is anyone else fond of coffee or red wine? I know Is anyone else fond of coffee or red wine? I know I’m not alone. I love the taste but I’m not crazy about what it does for my teeth. ☕️😁

I’m not a fan of whitening strips at home because it always makes my teeth sensitive. I was so excited to get in with @nationsdentalstudio because they offer professional teeth whitening that’s quick. I was curious to see if I’d have the same experience in the office that I have at home Thankfully, that wasn’t the case. 

I was in and out with whiter teeth within an hour. I had minimal discomfort for the first 24 hours and only needed one session. This is definitely the easiest way to get your pearly whites even brighter! Ten out of ten in my book! Not to mention, this is the most chic dental office you’ll ever see. 😍

Mention “Southern Made Blog” when booking a teeth whitening session with @nationsdentalstudio and get $50 off!

Yes, please! Count me in! This may have been the best one yet. @urbanaircoolsprings had everything set up and ready to go for us when we arrived. So much fun, pizza, cupcakes, and lots of celebrating. 

Between the trampolines, rock climbing walls, ball pits, playground, ropes course, and VR, I’d say these boys had a blast! Two birthdays to remember. Thanks for a great day, @urbanaircoolsprings!
