About Me

My name is Amanda and I am 27 years old. I am a single mother to Mari who is 8. I am not a native Floridian, originally from Ohio. We have only lived here a year and a half, but it's been a family talk to move here since I was 14.

Most of the swaps I sign up for are for my daughter Mari. She enjoys picking the items out and getting them as well. Mari is in karate and likes horses, legos, and animals.

We love to travel. Since it's just the 2 of us we never have to ask anyone else. We just decide and go. We have been on 6 Disney cruises in a 2 year span, which included a 10 night Mediterranian cruise. We also were on a Royal Caribbean ship once for a Christian music cruise. We did a 4 generation trip to Disney World in 2007. I had a spring break trip to Ireland in 2009, which I loved. I did a bed and breakfast tour. Flew into Shannon, Ireland, drove around for a week and ended up in Dublin to fly home. Mari opted not to come on that trip with me. The next trip I want to save up for is to Australia.

My favorite color is orange. I have a car that is orange and my whole bedroom is orange.

Favorite Music

We listen to Christian music and my favorite band is Third Day. Love how the band hosts meet and greets at concerts and also tweets on twitter. It's nice to see that they are real people leading real lives and life hands them lemons as well.

Favorite Books

I don't have time for reading and think I read enough when I was in college to last me a lifetime. Mari enjoys Katie Kazoo and horse books.

Favorite Crafts

We like to do all sorts of crafts. Mari's craft of the moment is perler beads. She's also been getting craft books out of the library and the last one was a how to make pop-up's and airplanes.

Favorite Television

We gave up cable at the beginning of the summer and only use Netflix streaming now. We like that its on demand and no commercials. I like to watch Law and Order: SVU.

Comment: Thank you for the pennies from Busch Gardens in Tampa. I love the penny of the kangaroo. If your daughter comes to visit us we will take her to the local golf course. There are hundreds of kangaroos there. They love to eat the lush grass. We have elephants at the Melbourne Zoo (including two babies). The keepers hide treats for them also.

Comment: Thank you so much...great pennies! I grew up near a race track but only ever got involved in demolition derby. Go-Kart racing sounds cool. It must be very loud for you on race day. Thanks again!

Comment: I LOVE the bunny postcard! Maybe the blue hare is only blue in the summer and white in the winter. In French it translates to "changing hare," so that would make sense. Thanks!

Wow, your daughter Mari is very lucky to have a wonderful mother that would take her on so many trips or vacation. I would hope to go on a Disney Cruise at least once in my life with my daughter who is 2 right now. Children are wonderful aren't they? They really do make life endurable. After a bad day at work, seeing your child's smile and come to you melts all your troubles away.

Ah, I feel like I found a kindred spirit. =D I was a single mom for 8 years. That only just changed a year ago. Isn't traveling with your kids the most amazing thing? I love seeing all the magic of the world through their eyes! We're heading down to South America next. I hope you LOVE Australia! =D

Marryth on Oct 25, 2011:

Hello, fellow-Amanda - and to Mari as well! :) I really enjoy traveling too, though I haven't had the opportunity to go very far - I'm dearly hoping that we'll be able to after we buy our first home! Ireland and Australia are both high on my list; I hope you're able to visit Australia soon! :) One of my two favorite colors is orange as well - it's so happy!

I hope you have a lovely day! :)

Hello! I'm one of your partners for the "Positive Comment For Your Partners Profile." Wow, I'm jealous of all your travels! I'm too busy with school right now to really travel, but one day I plan to see the world when I have the time. Australia is first on my list, I want to go scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef!

How do you like the Disney cruises? My bf and I were thinking of going on a cruise during Spring Break next year and can't decide on which Cruise line!

Hey, I've been to a few places. Canada, Belize, Guatamala, Iceland, Englad, and France. My husband and I try to leave the country every 5 years. In the off years we travel around this country, usually trying to fit in baseball games where ever we go!
Where have you been?

I'm one of your partners for the Positive Comment on your Profile swap. I, too, think it's wonderful you do this swapping for and with your daughter! She is so lucky to have you as a mom! I can imagine all the fun that must be when you decide what to swap and then do it. What a great mom!

Hi! It's so nice to see you're doing this for your daughter. You're really inspiring. How on earth did you get through college while taking care of a baby? (I'm struggling to study a new field now, with a young baby.) You're doing all that I hope to do!! It's my dream and passion to travel the world with my daughter. It's great to see that it is possible, one goal at a time. Lovely, honest profile!
