Christmas is my absolute favorite time of the year. But this year, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get in the Christmas spirit. That was until we took a trip to @VisitWilliamsburg. It was truly magical! From @buschgardensva’s Christmas Celebration and ice skating in @merchantssquare to the peppermint hot chocolates and holiday décor in @colonialwmsburg, and live music and festivities at @sweethavenlavender, my Christmas spirit was back and brighter than ever!
⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you for the most special memories @VisitWilliamsburg. We will definitely be back!

When the idea to go on a getaway to Williamsburg came about, the first thing I thought of was the field trip I went on in middle school 😂🙈
⠀⠀⠀⠀
Williamsburg has proven itself to be the furthest thing from that middle school field trip, though. The food is absolutely amazing, the people are so sweet, the history of the area is super interesting, and the attractions/activities are endless! Well done @VisitWilliamsburg, you won me over and officially earned your spot on my list of favorite places to vacation! Here are some photos from our time in @VisitYorktown – a must-see while you’re visiting!
⠀⠀⠀⠀
What are your favorite things to do in the Williamsburg area? Please comment them below so I can add them to our itinerary the next time we visit! 🙏🏼😘🤗

You know your products are working well when your hair stylist is blown away by how fast my hair has been growing and how healthy its been looking recently. It also gave me the confidence to cut 4 inches off 😅💇🏻‍♀️knowing my hair will grow back real fast if I don’t like the shorter cut!
⠀⠀⠀⠀
So shoutout to @bondiboost! You the real MVP 👏🏼🥰🙌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀
So far, my FAVORITE product in the range is the Growth Miracle Mask! A weekly treatment mask packed with nutritious oils including argan (a potent natural moisturizer), abyssinian (intensely hydrating), macadamia (strengthening), castor (said to help reduce hair fall) and jojoba (helps to fight frizz). Free from all the nasties: silicones, sulphates and parabens, DEA agents!! ...

Anyone else notice how much your body is affected by stress? Between my hair falling out and acne, my body does a great job at reminding me to take care of myself 😂
⠀⠀⠀⠀
So that is what I am doing! I got the @BondiBoost intensive growth spray, 3 weeks ago, and I can say I have already seen an amazing result in hair growth. Pretty blown away and can’t wait to see the results after the full recommended 3 months!
⠀⠀⠀⠀
Take this as your reminder to take care of yourself and your body! And if you need a little help in the hair growth department, I’d suggest getting the Bondi Boost growth spray! 😉😘 #BoostYourRoots #BondiBoost ...

A few weeks ago I shared on Instagram stories that I was walking through something really hard. It’s still really hard. I’m in the middle of probably the hardest season I’ve ever walked through.
⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm waking up everyday to circumstances I never thought in a million years would be a part of my story.
⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are still a lot of unknowns. And to be honest, one of the biggest things I’ve struggled with is how to navigate this journey on such a public platform.
⠀⠀⠀⠀
But here’s what I do know… I know I can trust the God who holds the future in His hands and lean on Him more and more everyday, one day at a time. So that is what I’m choosing.
⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know one day I’ll be able to share more with this community that I love so much. But for now, I’m soaking in this moment and all that it encompasses: persevering, surrendering, praying, and so much more.
⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you for all the continued love and support ❤️ ...

⠀⠀⠀⠀
On another note… Y’all, I have to tell you about my latest health find!! In the past I was not a big fan of multivitamins because I found that so many multivitamins were packed with additives and fillers BUT…. I have found a multivitamin that meets all the criteria I’ve been looking for!! I’m going on my second month of taking @Ritual and haven’t missed not one day! I’m V proud of myself and my body has been thanking me for it big time! 💪🏼🙌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀
I shared a lot more details on why these vitamins are so incredible and an essential part of my morning routine, in my IG stories, so make sure to go watch them! And in case you missed it, you can use the code: TERK for 10% of your first 3 months! #ritualpartner ...

How in the world is my little baby almost 2?!! 🥺 During those very long newborn days I remember other moms saying “enjoy this time because they grow up in a blink of an eye” and thought they were crazy... but now I see what they were referring to and I need time to slow down. 😭🙏🏼❤️ Double tap if you agree mamas!

Ps. How freaking cute is this diaper bag from @fawndesign ✨ They just launched a new collection with @anthropologie and it’s giving me all the heart eyes and making my minimalist heart so happy! 😍 I shared more of their new collection in my stories + use code ASHLEYTERK for 15% off!

The first night in our new home, we all slept on air mattresses because our furniture hadn’t been moved yet. David and I spent most of the night just sitting and reflecting, and I was reminded of all the moments that trusting God felt so incredibly risky to get to this very place. I’m not even talking about trusting Him with big things, but truly sometimes trusting Him to get me through the next couple of hours of the day I was in.
⠀⠀⠀⠀
...when I felt like the Lord was calling me to drop out of college to pursue full-time ministry with David, it scared the crap out of me to give up the security of having a college degree and eventually an amazing job. But God said “trust Me”.
⠀⠀⠀⠀
...when I felt like the Lord was calling me to start a blog. Then for two years I worked an average of 60+ hours a week and profited not a dime out of it. Everything in me wanted to quit. But God said “trust Me”.
⠀⠀⠀⠀
...when we had no money but knew the Lord was calling us to move to Los Angeles, one of the most expensive places in the United States, to do ministry. We were in tens of thousands of dollars in debt. Every day, that weight got heavier and heavier. It truly felt like it was crushing me. But God said “trust Me”.
⠀⠀⠀⠀
...when my husband came to me and told me he wanted to open up a gym and what it would take to make it happen. I felt like the Lord was saying "I need you to give 20-40 hours that you feel like you don’t have to support your husbands dream.” There were so many days that the pure exhaustion felt like that same crushing weight I had felt in the past in different seasons. But God said “trust Me”.
⠀⠀⠀⠀
As I sat on that air mattress in tears, I realized that all those nights I cried out to God to help me, He was 100% behind the scenes every single time, leading us to this exact place and this exact home. 😭🙌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our home is the evidence of so many hard-fought prayers. Trusting God will always feel sacrificial, sometimes even impossible, but it is always worth it. Even in the longest, hardest season, trusting Him is a risk worth taking. What could be on the other side of your “yes” to God? ...

Happy Father’s Day to 3 of the most amazing men I know!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
David - you have my whole heart. The way you love people and love our son is truly inspiring and admirable. Ryser is literally your best friend and you would choose to hang with him over anyone else any day. He is luckiest kid in the world to have you as his father, and I’m the luckiest girl in the world to have you as the father to my kids. How did I get so lucky and blessed? 🙌🏼😭🙌🏼😭😍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Dad- where do I even start. My look alike and personality twin. There wasn’t a day when I grew that you weren’t there for me. Every gymnastics and pole vaulting meet you were there cheering me on as my number 1 fan. You see my potential and call it out of me every single day. Even in the darkest and hardest of seasons, you never left me. I’ll never be able to put into words how much it means to me that you put family first no matter what you go through. You are loyal to the ends of the earth and I love you more than words will ever say!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
PC- To really know you is to really love and respect you! You are the most humble and anointed leader there is. You treat me as one of your own biological daughters and to say I’m extremely blessed to call you my father is an understatement. I love you so so much! HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎉 ❤️ Celebrating you extra today!! #happyfathersday ...
