Hey there — I’m Ashley.

I’m the mom behind Broke and Comfy — your new cozy corner on the internet for staying warm, fed, and sane when life’s chaotic and money’s tight.

I’m a busy working mom, a lover of secondhand blankets, cheap candles, and big mugs of coffee that might still be warm when I finally sit down.

Life for me? It’s equal parts messy kitchen, overdrawn bank account, half-finished to-do lists — and somehow, it’s still soft and warm at the end of the day. That’s what Broke and Comfy is about: finding little moments of cozy comfort even when your budget is broken (and your brain kinda feels the same).

Here, you’ll find my favorite:

Budget hacks that actually work

Quick meals for families who hate takeout prices

Cozy self-care that costs next to nothing

Real talk about mom life, debt, and making do

If you’ve ever reheated your coffee three times, eaten dinner on the couch under a blanket, or wondered how to make life feel a little softer without spending a ton — you’re in the right place.

Pull up a cozy corner, light that $5 candle, and hang out awhile — I’m glad you’re here. 🕯️✨

Ashley
