Hi! I'm Ashley, the creator behind All Things Ashley Marie. I'd like to start off by saying thank you for taking the time to visit my little piece of the internet! I am so happy that you are here!
I am 30 years old, and I was born and raised in the Austin area and I'm happy to be a Texas native. I graduated from Austin Community College with an Associates in Business Administration and I've actually worked for the College for the past seven years. I started in the Campus Manager's Office, moved to Library Services in March of 2019, and moved over to the Office of Academic Technology in October of 2020.
I met my amazing and super good looking boyfriend, Michael on Tinder believe it or not, so it goes without saying, but that app changed my life for the better. Michael is without a doubt my soulmate and absolute best friend.
Then we had a big life change in December of 2022..
Our first child, Eleanor Grace, was born on December 23, 2022. She is by far the best thing to ever happen to us. I couldn't be more grateful for the family I have. Soon we'll have to get an updated family picture with our baby girls (Eleanor, and our pup, Daisy Mae). If you would like to read about our birth story with Eleanor, you can read that here. As I'm updating this section of my blog, she is almost 7 months old. Time is FLYING by.
We don't have too many pictures as a family of three yet, but thankfully we got these three pictures on Easter. These two are my entire world, I can't imagine a life without them.
A little more about me:
Over the course of 2017, I continuously thought about starting a personal blog. I was scared as it's completely out of my comfort zone, but at the end of the day, I continued to feel excited about the opportunity to do this. And that to me; finding something I was genuinely passionate about, was more than enough reason to pursue it.
My intent for this blog is to give myself a creative outlet, but I also hope to offer inspiration on things I'm passionate about. From travel to home decor, and so much more. This blog is a place to talk about anything and everything freely - hence the name, All Things Ashley Marie!
I hope you find inspiration here, stick around a while, and come back often! If you have any questions for me or have things you're interested in seeing on the blog, please feel free to drop them in the comments or email me.
