Hi! I'm Amanda, Nebraska native, proud mom, wife, and small-town girl at heart. Growing up in Blair, I learned the value of community, hard work, and simple joys—like creating something from scratch, pushing my creative limits, and the incredible value of family. Those roots have shaped who I am today, grounding me in authenticity and a love for creating spaces where families can connect and thrive.

As a mother to two energetic little ones, I've discovered the magic of hands-on play and the importance of nurturing curiosity in a safe, fun environment. My boys are always looking for ways to get dirty and build something, and I find myself wanting to encourage that desire in a tidier manner. That's why I'm thrilled to be launching my indoor sandbox—a cozy, creative haven designed for kids to explore, build, and imagine without the mess of outdoor elements or unpredictable Nebraska weather. Whether it's sensory playdates or family bonding sessions, I can't wait to share this passion project with our community in Omaha and beyond.​

If you made it this far and thought "She definitely used AI to write this", YOU'RE DANG RIGHT. I have two under 3 so, while all of the above is true, I'll take any help I can get these days. HA. 

Now here's a bit from the heart - no AI needed:

When I'm not chasing toddlers, making my weekly Costco run, being a trophy wife (LOL), or brainstorming sandbox ideas, you'll find me enjoying moments with a good book, baking, or watching The Office on repeat! My husband and I have two boys, two Pomeranians, and reside in Omaha. 

My faith in God plays the biggest role in my life, and I'd be remiss not telling you about my faith while sharing what's important to me. I believe that Jesus came to us as a baby, lived a sinless life, and willingly died a terrible death on the Cross so that we can be saved. I believe that His GRACE has saved us, and I'm so grateful that my past mistakes don't define my future. I will never push my faith onto anyone, but if you ever want to listen, I'd love to tell you about Jesus and how He changed my life.

Thanks for taking the time to read my novel! I'm so excited to about Doze & Dig and can't wait to meet you.
