Welcome mama’s! My name is Amanda, I am a new-ish mama to a 1 year-old boy. Before my son, was my furbaby Hampton a 180-pound Great Dane. I am married to my best friend – Donnie, he is the most wonderful husband and father I could have ever asked for.

My goal for this blog is to build a community to help support mama’s especially the working moms who have to balance it all every single day. I am also a working mama – I am a full-time Registered Nurse (RN). I began my nursing career in the Emergency Department fresh out of nursing school. I loved my job especially my night-shift crew but shortly after my return from maternity leave I knew this schedule was not going to be conducive to raising a newborn. I left emergency nursing and landed a job in urgent care.

I hope you follow along with me as I take you through my experiences of becoming a new mom. I will share all the ups and downs from labor and delivery, breastfeeding/pumping, finding daycare (and that dreaded first day), and much more. Baking and cooking are some of my favorite hobbies, so I will also share some of my favorite recipes on here for you to enjoy with your family and friends.

I have been on another journey recently of finding my Faith in God. I will share some of my favorite Podcast dedicated to mama’s and some of my favorite books that I use to study the word of God.
