Hi, I’m Ashley. Welcome to my blog.

I am beyond happy you are here! I am a wife and mother of two girls trying to keep my sanity while finding joy amongst the chaos.

Life sure has lead me in a much different direction that I ever imagined and I am so happy it did.

I am a stay at home mom, accidental homeschool mom, better beauty advocate, accountant and lover of home projects. Being home with my girls is nothing I thought I would want, but now it is all I want. Well, most of the time anyways. Ha!

My hubby and I met at my parents rock climbing gym. We started dating when I was a senior in high school, survived a long distance relationship while I went to college, and got married on our six year dating anniversary. Couldn’t imagine doing life without him!

Prior to staying home I was a tax accountant. After having kids I just didn’t find joy in my job anymore and I dreamed of being home with our girls. It was one of the hardest decisions, but after much consideration with my hubby, I quit my job.

This would not have been possible without my side hustle turned full-time gig (with part-time hours). I first started my little business to pursue my passion for lox tox living, to help others do the same, and to have something of my own. It really brings me so much joy when I can help someone make a safer swap for their home and family.

I also have my own accounting business which allows me to help other business owners, while keep my toe dipped into accounting world.

This all might sound like a lot, which it honestly is, but I have made changes in our home and life to simplify things. This has allowed me to continue to pursue my passions, find time for myself, and find joy in each day.

I’d love to hear from you:  ashley@ashleyvandco.com

I look forward to connecting with you!
