Hi, I’m Ashlie, and welcome to my new adventure.
Hi, I’m Ashlie — and welcome to Lattes and Lisanne.
Think of this space as a cute little coffee date with your straight talking, ADHD, sometimes spirals bestie.
I have ALWAYS wanted to be a blogger. And I have tried. I think I’ve start over 10 different blogs over the last decade of my life and nothing has really stuck. But I’ve also always wanted to be a Mum blogger, and since, until now, I was never able to be part of that category, something always held me back.
There’s something sobering about finding out you’re pregnant, other than having to give up alcohol, of course.
But suddenly I realised that the life and business I am living in right now isn’t sustainable for the family life I want to create or the dynamics I want our home to live in.
So it’s simple, something has to change.
And this blog is here to document that, my journey to becoming a full time blogger and writer, and my journey to becoming a Mum - the good, the bad and the ugly.
These conversations are no longer ones I wish to have with my journal in my quiet bedroom, but are now to become an outward expression of my most unhinged thoughts on this roller coaster ride.
From milestones to mundane, this is a space for telling stories, sharing reflections, and taking you on the beautiful, messy and magical ride with me.
i’ll share important and deep insight and wisdom, and I’ll likely share random rambles of my spiralling thoughts and the tone of this blog (and hopefully one day, a podcast!) will find it’s way as we go along. but right now, I’m in a really tender and transformative season and I am so excited to share that with you.
And hopefully connect with the parts of you that are feeling something similar.
I’ll be writing about:
The messy transitions of life
My journey through pregnancy and into motherhood
Life’s little moments
All about the female body (Think: body confidence, self love, endometriosis, PCOS, chronic illness, health and wellness and all the good things)
Living in Australia
Relationships
Beauty and self care
And so much more!
Basically, this blog is a little love letter to slowing down and taking every step as it comes.
💌 A Note to You, Reader
If you’ve stumbled across this page, welcome, I’m so honoured to have you here. Whether you’re a friend, a fellow wanderer, a mum-to-be, or someone just looking for a soft corner of the internet where we talk about real things without the fluff, I’m so glad you’re here. I hope you feel something relatable in my words, or at the very least, a moment of familiarity.
Thank you so much for reading this very first post. And thank you for taking this journey with me.
