Hello! Thanks for coming along. I'm Ashley Nicole and I am married to Frank Ryan. We've created a tiny human and his name is Auden Oak. This is our story. 

Our Story

June 2003: I found my prince charming at our best friends' luau in Ohio. Doesn't every love story begin with alcohol in large pieces of fruit and plastic hula skirts? Our story did. What followed next is the story I've wanted to share for some time. I promise it gets better. How can it not with that beginning?

May 2017: We're living in Foxglove Hollow. Pacific Ocean to our west and Cascades to our east. Who knows where we will go next, but it will surely be alongside a briny coastline with mighty trees overhead. I like to think of my little crew as Camp Foxglove. Like the namesake Foxglove flower, we can thrive in the conditions of open woods and woodland clearings, but we also flourish in the open and exposed habitats of plateaus, sea-cliffs and rocky mountain slopes.  Like the foxglove, you can find me growing best in ground that's been disturbed, where life tends to grow that's prone to adaptation and surviving by beginning anew.

Sweets.
