On this episode, I had so much fun chatting with Ashlee Gadd, a mom, wife, blogger, photographer, and author. She is the founder of Coffee and Crumbs a collaborative blog about motherhood! She and I talked about the beginning of Coffee and Crumbs and feeling called by God to create a storytelling blog of motherhood; building a sense of community among mothers to help encourage others! If you're not already following, go check out their fabulous website at www.coffeeandcrumbs.com. Wonderful posts written by a collaborative group of moms, with newsletters, a year of creativity, and much more!

I love the story behind the beginning of their book Magic of Motherhood! She shares the honesty of challenges and insecurities, while writing the book and how God pulled her through the experience. And now she is happily celebrating the book and Coffee and Crumbs! Definitely grab a copy for yourself, as well as it makes a great gift, for a new mom or a mom that is already in the throws of motherhood!

Ashlee and I talk about being moms and how we've changed and grown in the different ways of nurturing our children! She talks about her oldest son starting Kindergarten in Fall and I give her a little advice on enjoying every minute of summer and how Friday nights have a whole new meaning!

We talk about her personal blog, being the place where she fell in love with storytelling and "fell into herself." She encourages us to stay true to what makes us happy! Check out her personal blog at www.ashleegadd.com

You'll absolutely love our easy going, down to earth conversation about motherhood, marriage, media life, and being happy! Definitely check out her website, blog, and follow her on Instagram @ashleegadd for some great pictures and insight into her daily happiness!
