I'm Ashley, a thirty-something, wellness enthusiast turned finance geek (who loves saving money), living in Portland, Oregon with my husband Colton, our kids, and our cat Jericho.
I'm just your average mama sharing about what it is like to be Mrs. Groves and I'm so glad you're following along! I hope you'll grab a cup of coffee and stay a while!
Have you seen the article series by Refinery29 called Money Diaries? Two weeks ago, I hadn’t heard of it either until a fellow Portland “instagram friend” (@jennsweats - go follow her! She shares delicious food, sweaty selfies, and started her own fitness clothing brand @gymmatte) shared her love for these diary entries. Being the finance geek that I am, I just HAD to do an entry for myself. I hope you enjoy and left me know if you check out Refinery29’s Money Diary series!
Welcome back friends! Is anybody else ready for this cold weather to go away? I'm ready for those April showers to bring some May flowers. Anyways, welcome back to my 12 book reviews in 12 months series for 2019! This is part 3 of 12 (check out part 1 and 2 if you missed them) where I share a bit about each of these books, my thoughts, how many stars I’d give it (actually it is how many Jericho’s as I’m using his cute face in place of stars. ;) ), and what other books I've read that month. Maybe we'll get lucky and Spring will be "On The Come Up!" See what I did there?
Welcome back to my 12 book reviews in 12 months series for 2019! This post is part 2 of 12 (check out part 1 here) where I share a bit about each of these books, my thoughts, how many stars I’d give it (actually it is how many Jericho’s as I’m using his cute face in place of stars. ;) ), and what other books I've read that month. I thought Beautiful Bodies was fitting with the “love” theme from Valentine’s Day and it being national heart month. Keep reading for the full review!
Hi Friends! At the beginning of January, I shared 12 of the books that are top on my list to read in 2019.

I hope you'll enjoy this series as much as I will.
Happy New Year friends! I hope your 2018 was full of family, fun, and God’s rich blessings. I’ll keep this short and sweet and share that the only “resolution” I am making for myself this year is to keep reading books. Here are my top picks for 2019.
I’ve always loved reading, but over the past few years, I’ve taken it to a whole new level! It has become my greatest obsession, aside from the hubs and Jericho. ;) Here are the books I read in 2018. Whether you want to learn something new or just get lost in someone else’s world, I hope this list can inspire you to read a little bit more.
