I'm so happy you're here!
I'm Amanda, a boy-mom of two littles and a seasoned travelers wife. I understand the challenges that come with managing a household and caring for little ones when your spouse is away. Join me on this journey as I share practical tips, strategies and heartfelt anecdotes that empower moms to thrive when their partners are on the road.
I met my husband in 2014, at that time he rarely traveled. We enjoyed nine blissful months of his feet firmly planted on the ground and, we haven't been back since. It feels normal now for me to have my husband away on business, it actually felt very abnormal in 2020 when the world shut down and he didn't travel...ever. Over the years I became accustomed to different nuances that a traveling spouse brings but, I was severely underprepared to be a mom and a travelers wife.
Adding kids into the mix brings a significant amount of stress, especially for the parent who is flying solo (thats me!). Over the last five years I've succeeded and I've failed and, I hope that's why you're here too. We can learn from each other and grow in community.
There was a time when I thought I was alone, I thought no one else knew what it was like. I would survive a traveling stint and think how am I possibly going to do that again?? Then I met a woman at bible study whose husband also travels. As soon as I heard this, it put all of my experiences into perspective. I realized at the end of the day, we're all just moms trying so hard to keep our house a float while our better half is away.
