Acerca de esta escucha
Motherhood and creativity can coexist.
You have creative dreams swirling in your heart, but pursuing them while changing diapers and managing the carpool schedule feels impossible. You have no time. No space. You can mother, or you can create. You certainly can't do both (right?!).
But what if you could pursue your God-given creative gifts alongside motherhood, for the enrichment of both experiences? What if you stopped viewing creativity as a selfish act, and started to see it as essential to your own flourishing as a mother?
This book is a much-needed permission slip to do just that—through the pictures you take, the stories you write, the meals you make, the music you play, the gardens you grow.
In this unforgettable book, writer and mother Ashlee Gadd helps you set aside the guilt and discover the sacred connection between creating and mothering. One-part commissioning, one-part pep talk, Create Anyway will propel you forward with a renewed sense of energy, purpose, and enthusiasm for stewarding the creative dreams God has planted in your heart—right alongside the diapers and carpool.
Here's to creating in the margins of motherhood.
Here's to creating anyway.

This revelation propels the hysterical, heartbreaking events in How to Stay Married, casting our narrator onto “the factory floor of hell,” where his wife was now in love with a man who “wears cargo shorts, on purpose.” What will he do?

Historia
In Holy Hygge, author Jamie Erickson unites the popular Danish practice with the deep theological truths of the gospel. She unpacks the seven tenets of hygge: hospitality, relationships, well-being, atmosphere, comfort, contentment, and rest. In addition, Erickson shows how the external veneer of a lifestyle can create a life-giving home only when placed under the hope of the gospel. Holy Hygge provides practical ideas for using hygge to gather people and introduce them to faith in Christ.

Ff we spend our lives trying to be “the strong one,” we become exhausted, burned-out, and disconnected from our truest selves. What if it were different? Could there be a different way to be strong? Could strength mean more than pushing on and pushing through pain, bearing every heavy burden on our own? What if, instead, true strength were more like the tide: soft and bold, fierce and gentle, moving together as one powerful force? In Strong like Water, author and trauma therapist Aundi Kolber offers a framework for true flourishing.

There has a be a better way, a biblical way, for mamas to grow and thrive. M Is for Mama offers advice, encouragement, and scripturally sound strategies seasoned with a little bit of humor to help you embrace the challenge of biblical motherhood and raise your children with love and wisdom.

Jen Hatmaker believes backbone is the birthright of every woman. Women have been demonstrating resiliency and resolve since forever. They have incredibly strong shoulders to bear loss, hope, grief, and vision. But somehow women have gotten the message that pain and failure mean they must be doing things wrong, that they messed up the rules or tricks for a seamless life.

Beautifully Created!
Thankful for Ashlee and that she is living out God’s purpose for her life. This book was wonderful and spoke to my heart in so many ways. I cried tears of conviction, joy and hope during every chapter. This is a library keepsake. The words apply perfectly to motherhood but also to a woman’s overall journey. Treasured read and highly recommended!

An unlikely listener
Ashlee,
Thank you for book and all the wealth you were willing to share. I’m a husband and father. I know this book wasn’t intended for me, but I read it because I wanted to gain understanding and encouragement ammunition for my creative wife. This book gave me plenty of that, but also plenty of takeaways for myself and my own, different creative work. It was unexpected, but good. I pray God will use your book to encourage others as it did me.

Oh my goodness Ashlee.
This book may have been the most important book I read this year. It caused me to ask questions about my creativity, how God created me and gifted me, and what I want to do with my gifts that I haven’t asked in a very long time. The part about your miscarriage had me sobbing while I was driving because I also had a miscarriage in the end of 2019/ beginning of 2020. It was my third pregnancy. The words you had spoken over you, the way you spoke about the experience (in real time too) was such a balm for my soul. I’m so sorry you’re in this club too. But thank you so much for your beautiful work. 🩷

Overwhelmed with emotions
I have always known that I have a creative side but never realized, until listening to this book how important it was for my soul to create. My time and money was always used on work first. Your raw truth made me laugh, cry and overwhelmed me emotionally during the entire book. Thank you for being honest and not filtering the ugly truth about life.
