My Day-to-Day, One Filter at a Time

When she wants to put all the bows in her hair 😂🤦‍♀️ ❤️ Oh you know, just getting ready for school. 😐😂 Someone wanted to be fancy. #shesanatural #sweetgirl You go for one cookie each and then bam you bought half a dozen... Someone has been in full on whiny pants mode recently. Going to try this laminated praise chart and use Target $1 spot coloring books as her reward. If this doesn’t prove that she’s my daughter I don’t know what would. 🧀 Thankfully someone is feeling better after days of feeling terrible and 100+ fever. 😊😊❤️#saturdaymorning #babylove Feeling all the love today. I don’t even want to eat them. ❤️❤️ Someone is ready for the warmer weather. #allergiesarekillingme Okay folks, it’s that time of year again. Going on a social media sabbatical. I don’t post much but spend way too much time here. 
See you in a month ❤️. Dutch oven mashed potatoes in full effect. #thanksgiving #blessed #thanksgiving🦃 #thanksgivingdinner A sweet weekend with my family. ❤️❤️❤️ Kevin Hart in SA! #lovewhereyouwork Pumpkins! 🎃 🦇 🍭 Someone loved trick or treating 🎃 🦇 🍬 #halloween

    Thankful for the Terrible Twos

    July 22, 2018

    When you live with an almost 2 year old there are days that are full of sweet hugs and some days that are full of tears, whining and frustration. If I stop to remember that she wants to communicate with us and is trying her hardest I can sometimes (emphasis on sometimes) be okay with the whining. This weekend has been a full of whining and tears type of weekend. We went to a theme park on Saturday and there were multiple times where she yanked her hand out of my hand. She wanted to be everywhere all at once and did NOT want to be carried, holding hands or…

    How to Make a Unique and Effective Bible Journal

    May 1, 2018

    It can be a lot of work trying to find the perfect journal to keep all of your sermon notes, Bible studies, challenges etc. in and it can take a lot of money to find something that might not even be what you are looking for. I recently cleaned out my office so I could actually start using it. If you are a planner/journal/stationary girl like I am, you know exactly what I found… notebooks and planners piled up on bookshelves and in drawers. Some of them had scribbles that went all the way to the center binding, others had a couple of pages worth of notes. Why do I…

    Parenting Advice I Wish Someone Told Me

    April 6, 2018

    When your friends, family and even strangers find out that you are going to have a baby, you are going to be buried beneath mountains of advice and wisdom. Some of the advice is helpful but most of it is just going to freak you out. I remember someone warning me about having to have my downstairs cut open to pull the baby out for it to be easier on the doctor… what the heck. Another piece of sage wisdom I received involved feces, your SO and a room full of surgeons and interns (I’ll spare you the details). It’s funny now to think about all of the things we…

    Finding A Daycare That Is Perfect For Your Family

    January 28, 2018

    As a new mom it was really hard to find a daycare that didn’t have a wait-list a mile long. I know that isn’t the same in all areas but where we are we had to wait a full year for an open spot at our daycare of choice. Picking who is going to be a surrogate parent for your child during the day is stressful. Here are the tips that I wish we had before we picked our first daycare:

    How to Get Your Chores Done Fast

    January 15, 2018

    I hate to admit that I was a terrible partner but I absolutely was. It’s embarrassing to say that for the first several years we were together my husband did 90% of the housework and cooking. I had a lot of baggage that made me believe that if I cooked/cleaned that I was subservient to my boyfriend/husband. I just couldn’t get it through my thick and selfish head that I needed to do my part. I didn’t want to be like my biological mother and I was so stubborn that I didn’t see the difference. One day it finally sank in and I realized that chores weren’t a way to…

Welcome to Mom Y’all! I’m so glad you are here and can’t wait to get to know you better. I’m Amanda, I live in Texas with my husband and little one P. If you want a new friend who is on a journey as a new mom and new Christian, then pull up a seat and get comfortable (sorry about the Cheerios crumbs).
