A Look Inside My Black and White Home Office

If you've been following our hashtag #AshleyAtHome you've probably seen a little glimpse of my office, but I'm excited to finally share with you a full look at where I spend most of my day. (Now more than ever.) When we first decided to build a home back in 2017, we knew it was going to be a long process and certainly a learning experience since this was uncharted territory for both of us. However, we didn't realize how many details went into each and every little thing. Austin and I thought we could handle everything on our own but about 4 months into the home build, we realized we needed some direction and guidance. We found Urbanology Designs and immediately fell in love with their vibe. After meeting Ginger and her team, we knew we wanted to hire them to help us with our home build. It truly was money well spent. Not only did they create our dream home, but mentally, they gave us so much clarity and peace. Building a house is no easy feat and we were incredibly thankful to have their help. ...

How I Organized My Makeup and Skincare Drawer

Spring is in the air and I've been trying to get a jump start on getting things organized around here. Starting with my bathroom makeup drawers -- they are always the first to get messy. Being a self-proclaimed beauty junky for the past 10 or so years comes with its perks, but organizing hasn't always been my strong suit (if you saw my IG story of my beauty closet you know what I'm talking about). I've been determined to declutter and organize my bathroom drawers and I finally came up with a system to keep my makeup and skincare products organized. I hope you can find it helpful, too! ...

What I’m Buying For George Right Now

I know every mom says time goes by so fast, but my gosh it's so true. George just turned 9 months and I feel like it was just yesterday that he was born. Crazy. Anyways, here's a shortlist of our most used items for George. A lot of these we started implementing when he was 7/8 months, but he's really enjoying them now. ...

Here’s How We Survived Traveling with a Baby

This post has been a long time coming, but I figured it'd be more helpful to write everything out vs share in stories.  I know a lot of people travel to be with family and friends over the next couple of months with Spring Break and Summer, so if that happens to be you - and it's your first time flying with a baby - I truly hope sharing what Aus and I learned in our experience is helpful. ...

Our White and Gold Thanksgiving Table Setting

There are many exciting things about finally being settled in the new house,  but my favorite has to be watching it come to life during the holidays. With Thanksgiving just around the corner, we are looking forward to hosting our family and friends. As I started prepping for our table and menu, I couldn’t wait to use our new dishes from VIETRI. The dishes and serving platters from VIETRI are handcrafted and designed in Italy and I have have been so excited for them to arrive so we could start using them. We have pieces from the Lastra collection which were inspired by the overlapping wooden mold that was used for centuries to form Parmesan and other cheeses throughout Italy. They are truly incredible and perfect if you want to set them on open shelves or on display — they look like art! ...
