Ashley
Dog mom (to Charlie girl), wife (to Richie), high school math teacher, co-owner of Burgh Blondes, car salesperson at Thurby Riverside Ford, and blogger for Adventure á la Mode. I love Pittsburgh sports (my favorite is football), technology, traveling, fashion, and writing.
My favorite places I’ve traveled to so far are Aruba, Hawaii, Utah (you can read about our trip to Utah here), and London! I also love going to Disney (even if it’s for the 100th time) and crave the annual road trip to a new location with my best friend, Erin. My favorite place to be is lying on the beach or playing in the ocean.
I adore iced coffee from Dunkin’ and my favorite food is definitely crab legs. I have music playing 24/7, or at least whenever possible, and I also love to read a good book. I like to learn (you’re never too old to learn something new) and yes, I really DO love math. I have a thing for handbags and shoes and I love to shop online. You can read more about me in our very first blog post EVER here. <3

Some of my favorite places I have visited are Hawaii, Punta Cana, and Rhode Island (you can read all about our New England road trip here).
My hobbies include enjoying the great outdoors, watching Fixer Upper re-runs, and indulging in as many coffees as I can get my hands on. You can read more about me in our very first blog post here.
What is Adventure á la Mode?
So, it’s actually kind of funny, but a lot of readers have asked since we started this blog, “Adventures with ice cream?!” Not exactly.. lol. Ash doesn’t even really like ice cream! Since we get the question a lot, we wanted to include the actual first definition of “á la Mode” in this post (see above).
It is of French origin, meaning literally “in fashion,” “stylish,” or “up to date.” In North America, it’s also taken on the meaning of “dessert with style”– aka with ice cream! We decided back in February of 2017 to name our blog Adventure á la Mode so we could use it as a platform to showcase our travels– in style! 😉
