Hi there, I'm Ashley!

 

Thank you for checking out my travel stories, motherhood adventures and creative projects.

 

I was born and raised in the land of crabcakes, Old Bay and Wawa. I find it hard to keep strangers from becoming friends. Alice in Wonderland (1951) is just my favorite. I'm not afraid to be the first one on the dance floor.

 

I am proud to be a Google Maps Local Guide and received the 2020 Guiding Stars Helpful Hero award for my work on behalf of the homeless in Santa Monica. 

 

I enjoy a good deep stretch. I trust in God with all of my heart and try my best to live more like Jesus.

 

I love fitness, sunflowers, croissants, pyrography, wearing big hats, cats, woodworking and talking to my sisters. I enjoy live theatre and eating snacks. I love it when I remember that growing old is a privilege and that it's a blessing to be alive.  

​

I live and work in Santa Monica with my incredible husband, Josh who I met on the dance floor of a bar in Washington, DC. We have an amazing son whose laugh is my favorite sound.

 

To me, "Adventure Unabashedly" means living with purpose and leading with love. What does it mean to you?
