Welcome
My name is Amanda. I’m a wife and mama by love, an educator and counselor by training, and a writer by heart.
You’ve found yourself in this little place built by my reflections as I try to live a life that kindles kin(d)ship.
Here you’ll find my words and stories; pieces of my heart poured out.
Welcome, I am so happy you’re here.
Kinship
In the Kinship section, you will find essays about marriage, motherhood, and family. The “Letters to my Daughter” series is also housed here. This collection of essays shares the perspective of a mother and her daughter as they work out (write out) their hypotheses on all that creates a meaningful (and kind) life.
Kind Living
In the Kind Living section, you will find reflections on kind living in the city. This often looks like essays on intentional living and kind communication.
Kidship
In the KIDship section, you will find a splattering of kid-related thoughts, resources and activities, as well as reflections on the lessons that I’m learning from the littlest among us.
