Welcome to my Substack!

Writing about all things life and motherhood 💕

Hello! Hi! Hey! Hola! 

Welcome to my substack! I’m so happy that you’re joining me on this platform. I’ve been spending months of contact naps (6 to be exact) writing notes on my phone and I’m excited to finally have a place to share my thoughts with the world (or at least with my mom and my husband, who I know I can count on to subscribe to this 🤣). 

I wanted to kick things off by introducing myself (in case you are someone other than my mom or husband)…

I’m Amanda! 👋🏼 I’m originally from Alberta, Canada but currently call Queretaro, Mexico home. I am a mom to two baby girls, Lou and Maggie, and wife to my best friend. I love books, tea, writing, good quality conversation, and traveling. 

In my pre-motherhood life, my husband and I were digital nomads who traveled and lived all over the world. While we’ve continued traveling with our littles, we’ve set up a home base in Mexico for now! Admittedly, I’m loving this chapter of being more settled and having a home base. 🙊

Before Lou was born, I worked full-time as a podcast host, a business coach for yoga teachers, and a yoga studio consultant. Since stepping into motherhood, I’ve only been back working part-time, and since my second daughter, Maggie, was born in June, I’ve been mothering full-time. Some days I miss my work and some days I can’t imagine ever going back to work. I don’t know what the future holds for my career, but for now, I’m enjoying this era of motherhood. 

Welcome to my world! I’m a nap-trapped, sleep-deprived toddler and baby mom with messy hair who is writing about all things life and motherhood. It might not be glamorous, but it’s certainly not dull. 

Thanks for being here! Let’s get into it. 💕
