About

Hello!

Somehow you have found my blog!  And you’ve clicked on this link, which means you want to know a little bit more about me.

My name is Mandy.  I live in the Carolinas with my sweet family.  I am an Ultrasound tech by training, but have recently focused my energy towards my passions: birth and photography.  You can check out my photography page at www.amandaallenderphotography.com

I like movies, dancing to music, spending time outdoors, swimming, yoga, reading books, writing, photography, and birth.

I dislike cleaning, remembering to pay bills, arguing, bed time, menu planning, and clutter.

I have four beautiful children: Ronan, Ruby, Ryder and Rory.

I am married to a wonderful man named Brock.

I can drive a stick shift.

Sometimes, I have to remind myself that it’s okay to laugh.

I have had 2 homebirths, a birth center birth, and a hospital birth.

A messy house makes me crazy.  My house is always messy.

I shaved my head because of long-standing scalp issues.  And I loved it.

I am terrible at trying new recipes.

Writing my thoughts out seems to order my brain.

Our youngest child, Rory Kai, died on February 5th, 2017.
