Usually my posts on AmaraLand are about our personal adventures with Amara. I’m not sure I have ever posted anything here that was hearsay but I don’t want to ever forget this memory so I have to keep it here. Jenna, Amara’s Mommy and my awesome daughter, told me about what happened to her and [...]

The nightmare began 17 days ago. I’ve wanted to blog about it but I was waiting until there was some kind of end to the story. Amara’s school had another skating party. This time I was going with them but I wasn’t going to skate. I just wanted the chance to spend some time with [...]

Hats off to Mommy and Daddy

Long before Amara was ever born her Mommy had some very strong opinions on how children and parents should behave in public. I like to think that I played a role in her mindset. I think she remembers the time when as a 4 or 5 year old she was physically removed from a store [...]

Things have certainly changed since I was a little girl. They’ve changed since my little girl was a little girl. Long gone are the days of asking Mom “can I go out and play?” Gone are the days of having to be home before the street lights come on. Playing with a friend has now [...]

One of the things about waiting until Amara is almost 6 to start her blog is that there are so many funny stories that I never got posted and that I want to always remember. So this is what I call an Amara back story or maybe Amara, the Early Years. This first memory took [...]
