Hi my name is Amanda. I’m so glad you’re here. I hope you find this space welcoming and informative.

About me:
I am 1/2 Italian, 1/2 Heinz 57 and was homeschooled from 5th grade until graduation. I became a licensed and nationally certified massage therapist in 2004 and have taken additional classes on energy, aromatherapy and medical massage. I also have 3 1/2 years experience as an orthodontic assistant and 5 years in the banking world. Since giving birth to our firstborn I have put those things on the back burner to raise our kiddos full time and help my husband run his landscape business. Although I’m not working full time in my previous careers, I still use different aspects of what I learned from them on a daily basis.

I love God, my guy, my 3 rascally little boys and sugar + spice girl, sports cars, martial arts, animals, country and Christian music, sun, warm air, hanging with friends and family, snorkeling and Young Living oils! I’m passionate about helping people live and heal by holistic means including herbs, oils, foods ect..  I despise cold, rainy weather and being misunderstood but such is life I guess 🙂

I sometimes forget how unusual our choices may seem because of things we do or have done such as home birthing, homeschooling, health alternatives ect which we often get questions about, and you’ll see some of throughout our blog… and yes sometimes I wonder how ‍we keep up with it all!

Whether your life looks like ours or it looks completely different we can all probably agree raising decent kids and being good parents is one of the most challenging jobs a person can have. Feel free to reach out with questions, comments ect and we’ll try to answer the best we can. 

We’re so glad you’ve found us and hope you enjoy learning and growing along with us on this crazy, wild, unpredictable ride we call life.
