grace and grit mama

held by grace, fueled by grit.

the girl behind grace and grit…

who i am

i’m ashley — a Jesus-loving wife and mama from kansas, who’s learning to build a life and home one ordinary day at a time.

most of my days are a mix of motherhood, juggling half-finished diy projects, cooking meals that may or may not go as planned, and trying to create beauty right where God has planted me.

i don’t have it all figured out, but i show up, i try, and i trust His grace to fill the spaces i can’t.


what i believe

i believe God meets us in the small, ordinary moments — the car rides, the bedtime prayers, the half-finished projects, the burnt dinners, the good intentions, and the try-agains.

i believe home is built with heart, not perfection.

and i believe that every day — the smooth ones and the ones that fall apart — are held together by Jesus, grace, and a whole lot of grit.


what you’ll find here

this space is built around real life — the messy, meaningful, everyday moments where Jesus meets a mama right in the middle of it all.

around here you can expect:
• faith woven into everyday moments
• day-to-day mom life
• easy meals and things we love in our home
• favorite finds that make life easier
• simple, doable diy projects
• stories, lessons, and reminders that grace is enough

if you’re here for real motherhood, unfiltered home life, simple projects, everyday wins, everyday struggles, and the steady presence of Jesus — welcome. i pray this space reminds you that His power is made perfect in weakness.
