My name is Amanda and I am a food lover, sister to 6 precious siblings, clothes junkie, instagram addict, hobby photographer, non-profit employee and most importantly follower of Jesus.
I have been writing ever since I was a little girl and I drew the most beeeyoootiful pictures you've ever seen and illustrated my own book. I know my parents were just SO thrilled to sit down and read my little girl attempts...
Fast-forward a few years later and I sat through class after class at OSU, learning like the good student I was... *ahem... and graduated college with big dreams and expectations...
Like most of us, sometimes our dreams take a few unexpected detours... but thankfully we can TRUST the Author of our Story.
For the past few years I have been working at a local non profit organization that exists to help women. Like many working in a small non-profit, I get to juggle multiple roles, but one of the most treasured parts of my job is the stories I get to help communicate on behalf of those we serve... And I love it.
FUN FACTS:
I am one of seven siblings.YES you read that right.Yes, we are all biologically related. No, there are no multiples. Yes, our parents are crazy. No, we aren't Catholic. Just call me Snow White. Jokes. But really.
Thrift stores, old books. REAL BOOKS are my jam.
I love things or ... I don't love them.
Aunt is my new fave handle. #auntlifeisthebestlife
Gilmore Girls. ALWAYS AND FOREVER. #basic
I hate when people say #basic.
One of the most influential books I've ever read was by Elizabeth Elliott.
When things are boring I like to make up annoying games for my people to play... And yes, they are always competitive. "Guess how old that man is... GO!" You'd be surprised at how many NUTTY things I can make people guess at all in the name of competition. LOLZ.
