Amanda Mallery
Hey, Hey! Amanda here. Wife to KJ and proud mom to my 3 boys: Noah (14), Nash (4), and Banks (6 months). I'm a forever Carolina girl that moved to Knoxville in 2003 and have called it home ever since. When I'm not wrangling children or writing for personal therapy, you'll find me stressing about what's for dinner or compulsively moving things around my house (some call that decorating). I could also be found listening to true crime podcasts or sneaking in new Halloween decor because it's my favorite holiday (give me all the spooky vibes). Motherhood is an adventure; let's go on it together! I hear it's easier that way.

Nostalgia Is My Middle Name
Yes, you read the title right. No, nostalgia isn't really my middle name (it's Kathryn), but it could be if middle names were based on your soul. I was trying to determine if a...
Infant, Preschooler, and Teenager…OH MY!
Any mother these days knows that once you begin to have children, you are bound to start hearing remarks like, "It only lasts for a season" and "I'm sure it's just a stage." Those...
