Once upon a time there was a book lady who decided she wanted to occupy another tiny part in the interwebs and so she grabbed a hold of the blogosphere and said "Hello, blogosphere! I think you and I should be friends!"
Sometimes, you just need to Do. The. Thing.
And right now? Blogging is The. Thing. that needs doing. So what should you expect? As with most things in the world, I'm not 100% sure. And that's A-Okay because finding out is half the fun (or, maybe most the fun, only time will tell) All I know is that right now, I *think* it'll be part mommy-ing, part reflections, part figuring out social media, and of course, lots of books, reading, and literature.
I can tell you what it's NOT going to be: perfectly refined and edited material. Because as much as I'd like to give you perfectly refined and perfectly edited material to read, who has the time for that? Not. Me.
If you somehow stumbled across this tiny little blog without knowing me, let me introduce myself. Hi. I'm Amanda, bibliophile. But that's not all of who I am. I'm also mom of two very independent, spunky girls. One of whom has a very serious sense of humor and the other who is learning she likes to make people laugh through silly faces and funnier noises. Both of whom have a love for books, too! I think, as most moms (most parents), it's hard to pinpoint who you are after that title. I mean, your world sort of throws itself off its axis once you turn into "Mom" and all of a sudden your calendar goes from this:
Yes, I did just make a Futurama reference.
While my family IS my world, there is certainly more to me. I also love sushi, veggie-filled meals, being health-aware (but not obsessed), enjoy pretty much every Mario game I've ever played, and have a HUGE love for great music. There is no experience more exhilarating than listening to live music, and no moment so comforting as the very first sip of coffee in the day.
So I ask you: Who are you? What are your loves? Besides "Mom" what other hats do you wear?
