Thanks for wanting to find out more about me! I’m honored. Really. Or shocked. {Maybe both.}

Let’s get on with it, shall we?

I’ve been blogging since 2007…mostly about the randomness that comes with life. But hopefully not the mundane.

I’ve been married to my husband, Les for 11 years. That’s a long stinkin’ time.

I have a 3 year old daughter, Lydia. Who is more fun every day.

My son, Asa is an adorable one year old.

I’m a former Children’s Pastor but I don’t really blog about ministry any more. I funnel my ministry skills (you know, crafting, teaching, singing and basic when-is-my-husband-coming-home caregiving) into my children. My ultimate goal in life is to impress my kids. (<—that’s my crafty parenting blog. go ahead, click it!)

I blog at The Disney Blog and recap some of ABC’s best shows—like LOST (!!) and the brilliant but canceled, Pushing Daisies. I’m one of the original vloggers for NewBaby.com. I was privileged to be a part of  14 other fabu bloggers that were invited to a bloggy meet-up at the Pampers headquarters in Cincinnati. And I even got to be one of the Magical Moms at a Disney World Bloggy Mixer. (*be still my heart*) I also spent a very eventful three days at Nestle Headquarters for the #NestleFamily event.

I am also one of the newest members of the 2010 Disney World Mom’s Panel! This is a dream come true for me as I am now officially connected to my very favorite place in the whole wide world–Disney World. Check out Disney World’s website and have your vacation questions answered by moms like me!*

Each week, I host the Top Ten {Tuesday} carnival…basically, just an excuse to use a big list as a blog post. And every Wednesday I post a retro black and white picture from my family’s archives. I love the history and the mystery behind each one!

Let’s see….what else?

I’m basically a story-lover. So, books, movies and a tivo are a must for me. And that’s why blogging is so attractive. I love the opportunity to chronicle the story of my life. And to hear the chronicle of others around me—however similar or different.

Hmmm…why “oh amanda”?

It’s just one of those things I say to myself all the time. “Oh Amanda,  you did NOT just run that redlight!” And now it’s funny because when people say, “Oh Amanda, I forgot to tell you something…” it sounds like they are promoting my blog!

And for the nitty gritty?

I ache for chocolate. I love my dad’s eggs benedict with a never ending love. I wish I could go through The Wardrobe. I’d love to swim in a sea of purple. I abhor housework. My sisterchicks are worthy of true aloha. I detest politics. I crave felt and all things etsy. And I wish I worked for Disney.*

I’d love for you to follow me on twitter!

Or subscribe to my blog.

Hey, I’ll even drop in your inbox if you’d like!

I promise I’ll try to make it worth your while. And hopefully we’ll become friends along the way!

Oh, and my email: amanda (at) ohamanda (dot) com
