That’s me!
Hi 👋 I’m Ashley
I’m a nature-loving wife and mother of one. I want to help you simplify your life, and reconnect with nature.
I believe in meeting you where you are to help show you how messy and wonderful a life lived outside can be.
I am working on my own mental and physical health and want to incorporate healthy natural living without the pressure of having to go all in. I am still learning 100% of the time.
Everyone’s journey is personal and only you know what that should look like. But if you are looking to spend more time living outdoors, eating healthy foods and making memories with your children and loved ones I would love to have you join our community and learn with me.

Embark on Your Homegrown & Halfbaked Journey Now
At Homegrown & Halfbaked, I am looking to create a community of like-minded people who want to learn how to reconnect with nature and their families, heal their bodies and minds, and find joy in the simple things.
I hope to accomplish this by meeting you where you are. Learning is a lifelong pursuit, and creating a judgment-free space that is safe for everyone is my top priority.
I plan on being transparent in my teachings. I am learning along with everyone else, I will make mistakes—I make them all the time. However, I promise not to omit these mistakes. I will write about them, and hopefully, through my posts, you will be able to avoid making those same mistakes. If you have already made them, you will find comfort in knowing that you are not the only one, and that mistakes are how we grow. I promise to have fun. I want my joy in creating this space to pass to everyone who reads it, and my hope for you is that this joy will lead to healing.
The problem we face is our modern world is always telling us we aren’t enough. We live in a consumer society that consumes at such a pace it leaves our heads spinning, making us feel as though we are lacking if we don’t keep up with the latest demands or wants.
I believe that a beautiful life can be lived in any way that calls to you. Whether you are looking to slow down and disconnect, start a farm, add a couple of recipes to your personal repertoire, or add a planter box to your window overlooking the city, Homegrown & Half-baked has something for you.
I want this community to be impactful, whether it is in your own home and cooking healthier dishes for your family, or helping start an urban garden in your own neighborhood. I plan on taking the feedback that you provide and tailoring the content on my site to work for you.
Send me a message, leave me feedback on my posts, and help me create a community where we can all learn and thrive together.
