I am a married mom of 4 just documenting lifes ups and downs!
I stay at home with my kids and make it my job to save money, teach our kids, and have lots of fun along the way!
I love the holidays and prepping for parties!
So glad you got my card. Yes, it can get very loud around here. LOL!! They do treat me like a princess most of the time. Thank you for your sweet words, and I am so glad you are feeling a bit better. Anxiety sucks! I have that too, and tend not to take my meds as prescribed. Hate all the side effects. Oh well, what can you do? Mostly I just need to remember. Hope you have a great week, and a wonderful Holiday!
Thanks Amy!! Loved the card :)
I think that's why I relate to you so much, as I also suffer with anxiety, social phobia, ocd tendencies and mild depression - I hate having to rely on the medication but I'm a neurotic mess without it. Your so open and honest I just love your you and your sweet little family, thanks for Putting yourself out there you really do help me :) xx
sherie taylor Thanks Sherie!! Thats exactly it! Im a neurotic mess! Still learning and hope this gets better.
Thanks for talking about this. Putting real life out there, its not all glitter. Great vlog
+H Lebron Thank you. I sadly suffer from them often. It sucks but I like putting it out there and the feedback I get makes me not feel alone.
I feel for you, I have anxiety and a strong family history of full blown panic attacks, I have had a few panic attacks my self,they suck I totally can relate. I don't take medication, but I try to control my anxiety with meditation and yoga, in 2015 I need to do more of it so I can try to relax more, but you know its hard to find time with 4 kids, same problem here...I have 4 kids ranging from 16-8. 3 boys 1 girl...Been watching your channel for the past few days love it!
cheryls2angels chic done cheap Thanks Cheryl!! I need to get back active that does help a ton
I also suffer from anxiety and OCD the touch the door knob 10 times kind of OCD but only when I leave my house. It's awful. I have an addictive personality so no way am I taking anything for it. I just try to deal with it the best I can.
glitterandgroceries I never knew that about you!! I tried for years to avoid meds but sadly no longer can manage with out :(
stay strong ❤️
undLiebeZitrone Thank you
He was SO cute writing his list oh my goodness!
Thanks for being so honest !
My heart goes out to you Amanda. I also have to manage depression and anxiety, but am in a good place with a plan that works for me. Don't feel bad about taking medication - I am so grateful we live in an age where there are different options available. Do what's right for you. Of course we have to do the work of making ourselves happy, but the medication can lift enough of the fog so we're equipped to do that work. So many people in the past didn't have that benefit and suffered needlessly! You are very brave to face your mental health issues head on and share so openly. If you ever need to talk, I'm here. I am rooting for you, girl!
Thanks Gillian! Its all so new and on top of just dealing with 4 kids etc its a little hard to swallow but I vow 2015 to tackle it!
Thanks for being so open and honest about your situation. I think I relate so much to you and am drawn to your videos because I am struggling with some of the same issues. Hugs to you! And take care of yourself momma!!
I would have never guessed! You seem so strong and put togther :)
i have pretty severe paranoid anxiety and ocd, i'm also a germaphobe and a hypochondriac. i don't take any medications for it only because i already take so much for my physical medical issues and i feel like if took anxiety meds i would just turn into a zombie, but some days i wish i had something to just calm my mind for a few hours.
Thats exactly it! Somedays I just need something. I have no idea what but something to soothe me.
I've been struggling with anxiety and panic attacks myself for the last year. The end of last year the beginning of this year all I did was stay at home in bed wondering if I was dyeing unless I had to take the kids to school and that was just hell. Driving is probably the worst for me sucks because I am a mom of 3 kids 9,8 and 5. Most attacks happen in stores and driving. I'm on meds too and hate it but if it makes my life as a mom,wife and friend then I need to just suck it up and take meds:) thanks for sharing!
Aurora Robey I totally agree! Ive been in bed more then I care to say since school started! The school hustle and bustle has def made it worse!
Like many other subbies, I too can relate! Diagnosed with an anxiety disorder and stress induced hypertension a couple months back. Meds do suck, but I can't go without them. I have tried to avoid them but simply can't go without it now. Best of luck! Hope you get my card soon =)
Emma C Thanks Emma! I knew you mentioned depression no idea about the anxiety! Thanks for the card will check tomorrow :)
Thanks for opening up about whats going on in your life , because i feel like i can relate to you i'am a mother of 3 boys 6, 5, 4, and i suffered with post partum depression with all my pregnancies and anxiety . At times i feel like there's so much pressure 4 me to get things done and i would feel bad if it was completed . But since i found your channel i felt some sort of relief because now i have someone i can watch that are going through similar things like me . Thanks for sharing your life with us and i will keep you and your family in my prayers :-)
Thanks Ashley Cheek I def have gone through all of the above. Its hard REALLY hard the pressure we put on ourselves.
I'm so glad you got the card. I remember you saying you love snow globes. You have been in my thoughts, take as much time as you need. Those babies need you, no need for extra stress from youtube. As always I enjoy your videos
I truly LOVED it! So special that you remembered something I probably said quickly...
My husband and best friend suffer from panic disorder so I totally get what your saying. You do what you need to do to take care of yourself. You still always make great videos and I really enjoy them.
Thanks :) Oh man I can only imagine how scary it is for you....I know Jeff told me this last one really scared him.
You totally just described how I am exactly!!!!! Feeling or you and with you!!! My husband is deployed right now and so you can imagine how crazy I feel sometimes!!!

OMG I cannot even imagine! I just cant! Chin up! We got this!!
Love you!! You are such an amazing person and mommy :)
Thanks Megan22 it means a lot :)
I also have anxiety, depression, and mild OCD like yours. Mine got worse when i lost my sister six years ago. It is a daily struggle especially as a Stay at Home mom and wife full time student etc etc etc. I took medication right after my sister died because it was a dark time and I was pg with my son but I refuse to take it anymore because I didn't like the way the meds made me feel. Over the years i have learned some ways to calm myself down but unfortunately it is very hard on me and extremely scary for my family when I get to the point of an attack. I feel like you were reading my mind as you talked about it. And yes youtube is like a job especially during daily vlog/video months but one thing I can say is that I feel like it kind of calms me down to just sit and talk to the camera and get my busy crazy thoughts out of my head. Hope you feel a bit better after taking a break.
***** Thanks! I am so happy to hear I am not alone. The things you do to calm down are they for you specific...Or is it something I might be able to do?
Its Amandas Life Duh on me! I totally should have listed some for you! Sorry! I think these are just generic things you can try when you start to feel the anxiety building up. Go on a cleaning frenzy (LOL), Sometimes, I will either sing or speak the lyrics to my wedding song, or another favorite. Sometimes I start to count down from 100, i've even done it by twos. Turn on some music and just dance around. This will sound crazy but I have just put my face in my pillow and just scream. Basically anything to just kind free the thoughts and emotions inside. Exercise works. I hope this helps a little.

I do clean as a major diffuser for me. Its awesome! My husband calls me Monica(from Friends). I did notice a huge difference when I worked out regularly...Im trying to get back into that taking care of me...I know it will help!! Thanks again.
Thank you so much for being SO transparent.....I too am a mother of 4, and I suffer from the same things as you. I would like to get to know you better, I am starting my Volgging in January my channel name is "Notsoorganizedmom" It is my prayer that I can help others as well with my video's, and let them know that it is ok, and they are not alone. I just LOVE your channel, and your family, and look forward to your vlogs everyday. Thank you Amanda. Your are great! Looking forward to getting to know you through the youtube community. God Bless!!
Thank you and congrats on starting a new channel. Its hard really hard! I have my good days and bad days
You make it look so easy, I would LOVE any tips and tricks you may have for me, anything would be great. I have a Christmas card filled out for you, could I get your P.O.Box so that I can send it your way? You are in my prayers, glad to talk to you! Have a wonderful Christmas, and Happy New Year. I forgot to mention that our family has traveled to New England on vacation the past three years, It truly is a beautiful place, we love it there.....Ohio is where we live, it is wonderful to travel to different places, we have even considered moving up to New Hampshire or Maine, still a possibility. My husband works for Microsoft, so he travels extensively, and we have gotten to see so many beautiful places, however, New England is by far our favorite so far..... Have a wonderful and very blessed Holiday season, looking forward to getting to know this community better in the future!
Tricia Boucher So very cool about you coming to New England to Vaca....It is sooo beautiful up here! PO Box 234 Merrimack NH 03054. As for advice honestly Im learning NO schedule is key! I need to give myself time to film, edit, etc and if I get on a schedule Im rushing, and just getting all worked up.
So sorry about your anxiety and panic attacks! I am the exact same way. I actually take quite a few natural supplements to fight my panic attacks. They have helped so much! I was diagnosed with Adrenal Fatigue. I wouldn't be surprised if you had that too. Everything has to be in order or I get so overwhelmed. Cutting out sugar and gluten is such a help as well for me. Just thought I would share in case it would help you in any way! Take care.
Summer Gieser What natural Supplements? Can you FB message me or email me? I prefer natural way of things if at all possible!
Its Amandas Life I am soooo sorry I just saw this!!! I have been on a tech break:) Anyways, I just emailed you. Hope this helps!
Thank you very much!!!!
