About Me

Are you a busy woman desperately in need of grace? You’ve come to the right place, because so am I!

Welcome to my blog. I’m Amanda – pastor’s wife of more than 20 years, mom to two teen boys, and full time dental hygienist. I serve as our church Women’s Ministry director, lead our 30’s/40’s ministry, and teach Sunday School. I’m also a writer, a speaker, and a lover of coffee, books, and crafting. Life is crazy, and I need grace in every moment, especially in the ordinary moments of a busy life. That’s what this blog is all about. Whether it’s great Christian fiction you can relax with, Bible study tips, or my favorite DIY projects or recipes, you’ll find practical ideas you can use in your everyday life.

Over the past twenty years, I’ve been a working married woman, a stay-at-home mom, a student mom, and a working mom. I’ve seen the challenges of each situation, and while each time is unique, I’ve found similar needs in each phase. No matter your situation, every woman needs connection, a chance to relax, and practical ways to find grace in the ordinary.

Ready to find some moments of grace? You can check out 5 Ways to Break Out of a Reading Slump, Six Months on Our Farm, or My 3 Favorite Bible Study Methods (and Why I Love Them). You can also get some of my short stories on Kindle – just check out my fiction on the My Writing page.
