Manda, Mandy, Amanda, Mommy, Mom.. and the latest words uttered..  Ma ma. I’m known as many names around here but behind those names is one person.

I’m a 30 something year old wife and best friend to my husband, and a mommy to my two children.

My days are spent playing with cars and blocks, changing dirty diapers, kissing boo boos and somewhere in between I try to squeeze in a shower and a bite to eat. My life is crazy.. every single day. Since the day I became a mom I don’t think I have ever muttered the words “I’m bored”. This is my life and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I started blogging after the birth of Andrea in 2010. Being a mom and parent has so many rewards and challenges and finding a balance between taking care of my children and taking care of myself was something I had a hard time doing. My blog became my outlet for my frustrations and joys of being a parent and I have connected with so many other bloggers that have helped me with this journey of being a mom.

When I’m not playing wife or mommy I am doing my work as a hair stylist. In 2007 I graduated from Cosmetology school and went on to receive my Missouri State License as a Cosmetologist. After working in a salon for a few years I decided that my place was not in the salon but it was in the home with my children. You just don’t realize how quickly your children grow up and I couldn’t stand to miss another moment that I would never get back. Doing hair for my friends and family is very satisfying to me and I love that I can have both pleasures, being with my kids and still doing hair.

Many things on my blog are written about my two children, Andrew – age 4 and Andrea – age 20 months, and behind these posts you will find a true reflection of me, my experience in the role of motherhood and my life as a Mommy of Two Little Monkeys.
