About Me

Amber
My name is Amber, and I married my best friend, Sam, on September 6, 2009. We have three beautiful sons, Banner, who was born on June 9, 2011, Quinn, who was born September 9, 2013, and Knox, who was born February 16, 2016. I am a part-time school counselor and part-time stay-at-home mom, and I enjoy blogging about my experiences in life - as a mom, as a wife, as a woman. I love writing, swimming, laughing, teaching, playing with my boys, spending time with friends and family, great discussion, and challenging many societal norms. In addition, I sometimes write about my new relationship with Rheumatoid Arthritis and the awful shenanigans it likes to put my body through. This blog is a great place to vent, but I also publish my posts in a blog book every now and then, so some of what I write is simply for keepsake for my family. Enjoy!
