About

 

 

Hi, I’m Amanda, Please call me Mans if you like, all the cool kids are doing it.

Melbournian, Freelance writer, photographer, oddball, Fashion fiend, Wife, Aunty.

I am a hippy at heart.

I believe in Love.

I grew up with the beach as my backyard and love the connection with the sand, sea and air.

I believe in that feeling when you are with your family and you don’t have to try or pretend, you are you and fit in, that perfect piece in their puzzle.

 I wanted to be a Teacher/Photographer/Mother.

I loved the idea of having a positive impact of a childs life.
I always remembered my teacher in primary school and what she had taught me and I wanted to have that impact.

I love the idea at freezing a moment, a happy moment.

Being an only child, I always wanted a big family.
The whole mum, dad and children at the dinner table.  Together.

Having found out I have PCOS two years ago and being given no information and shoved out the door convinced I cannot have children, heart sunk. I have since studied up on it and can work on it.

I have worked in an office for the last seven years and have been bullied to the point where thanks to good friends/family and inspiration fellow bloggers,  I started to believe that I am intelligent and creative and decided to quit and delve into where my hearts takes me.

I am currently throwing myself into this blog, my photography, study to be a social media manager and health coach and finding who I am after so much time just going through the motions.
 

I LOVE:

My family. Home style magazines. Cheesecake. The Beach. Pasta. Parquetry floors. Gorgeous bloggers. The Beatles. Fashion. Daisies. English comedies. Writing Lists. Childrens books. Singing. Cups of tea.. and a bickie. Handwritten letters. Vanilla anything. Sixties.
