I have something on my heart to share with you. Recently while being interviewed, I was asked what grace means to me. To me, grace is the thing that fills in the gaps. Grace is when I do everything I know to do and it shouldn’t be enough and then it is anyway. Grace brings […]

What Amanda drinks every morning!
Hi love bug! Today, I am sharing something that makes my stomach flat, hair grow, skin tight, and also warms my soul. (And, no, I didn’t join an MLM. I love MLMs but that is not what is happening here.) One of the things I get asked the most is this: What is your morning […]
