We won the pub quiz last night! OK, we didn’t win, but we got second place. OK, we got second place at first until the guy realized he had made an addition error. So, we got third place! The name of our team was appropriately called “Courters Yankee Invasion” – won a big Easter Egg….yippee. [...]

My best friend is coming to visit me from Baltimore tomorrow, and I am more excited than before Christmas morning! Before she arrives, I thought I would give you all a glimpse into the beginning of our friendship…
When Courtney and I met, we were six years old, waiting for the big yellow school bus to [...]

As some of you know, following up to Christmas, I had a series called “Interview with the Fam.” Well, since I wasn’t able to get everyone in my family interviewed on time, I will now be doing an interview a month until I run out of family members (that may take a while). The thing [...]

I have been tagged in a photo meme by Smitten by Britain that asks for me to post my favorite photo of all time. So, I have been going through the photos like crazy for the last day and a half. How to pick one out of so many??
Because of this assignment, however, I have [...]

I wanted to say a special thank you to my family members who partook in the “Interview with Fam” series. It was especially great for me because I got to learn more about the ones who bear the same blood, and it was so nice to be able to share this weird world of blogging [...]

Seriously, Don’t Ask

Amanda now lives in Baltimore, Maryland with her five-year old son Brayden who is probably the [...]

My mom.

She is an incredible woman who has taken many different paths, sometimes the hard way and sometimes the easy way, but she always seems to come back stronger than ever. She raised my sister and I in Baltimore, MD (amongst a few other places), and did an unbelievable job. We were never uncertain as [...]

Jock’s sister, sister’s hubby, and children were over this weekend. Being the busiest shopping day of the year, his sister opted to go with the rest of the population and shop!
While they joined the masses, we took the girls to the Bristol Zoo. Mostly because Jock and I really wanted to go, and thought the [...]

A few notes on my Grampy before I start this interview. He is my mom’s father.
When he heard I was starting a blog, this is what he had to say:
