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

    Your Kid Should Attend Sex Ed

    June 14, 2017

    This post is for the parents who won’t let their kids attend sexual education and won’t teach their kids anything besides abstinence. I know it’s a very specific targeted group of folks but they should definitely read what I have to say.

    Achieving Work-Life Balance

    May 5, 2017

    After a week of snot and exhaustion, I headed out for a work trip hoping that I would feel better before the plane hit ground in Houston. Luckily, I was feeling a ton better and only had a little bit of an issue with my voice at the beginning of the day. The trip went well and although I didn’t get to say goodnight to P every night I was gone it felt nice to take a breath at least in one area of life. I missed her like crazy but I was so busy in and out of meetings, catching up on emails and plane hopping that I didn’t…

    Sunday Evening Thoughts

    April 23, 2017

    I’ve been feeling really emotional over the past week. It might have to do with baby P having more of a personality lately resulting in me missing her even more. She snuggles now and looks up at you with a sly smile because she is drooling milk all over your shirt. Today she was chewing on my leg in an attempt to help her aching teeth. It doesn’t hurt and I don’t believe she is going to learn to bite people based on gnawing on my leg at five months old (I could be raising a vampire, who knows). Right now, she is wailing from her bed because her little…

    I’m A Judging Mom

    April 8, 2017

    When you think about what a good parent is, you have such a large frame of reference for “good parenting.” There are magazines, blogs, shows specifically to show how shitty parents can be, news articles and Facebook groups that hand down judgement as if they were Saint Peter himself. When our parents were growing up, they just had what they were taught by their parents, wholesome television shows and maybe a book on parenting.

    Working on Myself, Marriage and Family

    April 2, 2017

    A successful marriage isn’t something that just happens. You don’t meet someone and fall in love then everything is roses, sunsets and happily ever after. Like most things that are worth a damn, it takes hard work from both sides. I didn’t marry someone who is exactly like me and I’m sure you didn’t either. Your differences are what make you love the other person but it can also drive you to want to let the air out of their tires in the middle of the night. Everyone fights, everyone disagrees and the people who are successful learn and grow as people and as couples. That’s all fine and dandy,…

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).
