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…

    Mom Chat – San Diego

    August 6, 2017

    I was recently on a business trip out in California and as I was talking to some team members out there, I started to notice more and more that the parenting experience is very similar regardless of where you live. I had lunch with one mom and she talked about the pressure to breastfeed with her second child, even though she wasn’t able to with her first. People who were around while she struggled the first time were making comments like “well you are least going to try to breastfeed, right?” As the conversation progressed, we went through the typical mom conversation of pregnancy woes, hardships with giving birth, daycare…

    Sometimes Things Are Hard

    July 10, 2017

    Today was a “feel like you’re drowning” kind of day. There wasn’t anything specific that made me feel this way and nothing terrible happened but it just had that feeling. I’m being self-conscious about the amount of weight I pull around the house and feeling guilty that I took a day to work from home last week to go to doctor’s appointments that I was overdue on. I’m heading out again for work and I know that husband and P will be alone again to face the daily grind down one person. Husband is always supportive but I feel like both worlds just come crashing into each other. I know…

    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.

    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.

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).
