Hi Friends.png

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!

Before you read this letter, check out our previous Christmas letter here: 2015

This is BY FAR our best Christmas card yet! We are now forever trying to one-up this Christmas card, but have yet to make one as good. I’ll just leave this right here for ya.

If you didn’t read who takes our family photos, check out our Christmas 2015 post. You might just be surprised. ;) I am forever grateful that I married a creative guy so he can make cool cards like this and take beautiful photos of us (I have all the heart eyes for these photos)!

This was our first Christmas season spent in Portland (can ya tell by the trees?) and our first time travelling “home” for Christmas. Although it is bittersweet being away from our family, we will take RAIN over SNOW any day! If you’re wondering why the sun is out in these photos, it is because we took them in October in preparation for Portland’s “rainy season.” I’ll do just about anything for good Christmas card photos. ;)

Merry Christmas to you from Portland!
