About Us

First of all, hi!  Thank you for checking out our blog "The Early Life."  In this blog we hope to share what we are learning as new wives, new teachers, and new "on our own adults." We are creating this blog to share ideas, inspirations, and lessons learned with each other AND all of you.  We hope to share easy recipes, decorating and DIY ideas, teaching anecdotes, and anything else we fancy really.  We will both be posting, so feel free to follow along on our journey through the early life!

Meet us:

Hi! I'm Ashley.  I'm an art teacher and budding photographer living in my hometown in eastern NC.  I married my college sweetheart, and I currently live with him and our cat Josie in a one-bedroom apartment.  I love all things design, photography, and humor.  I'm a homebody and avid blogger.  You can find my photography blog here: www.ashleyperryblevins.com  Thanks for stopping by!

I'm Kristin. I'm a 3rd grade teacher living with my husband in the triad area. We live in a little house in the same neighborhood our church is in. Our goal is to cultivate community and intentional living in our area! I love crafts, comedies, and eating cheese-based foods. I look for humor in every-day things. You can read about some of these every-day things on my blog: www.childsaidwhat.blogspot.com I hope you are inspired by our misadventures and explorations!
