Hi there. My name is Amanda Erin, and I want to talk about something that’s not always easy to discuss: relationships. Specifically, the moments when they start to feel less like a partnership and more like a puzzle you can’t solve. I’m lucky to be married to my wonderful husband, Kevin Clarence. Our relationship isn’t…
My name is Amanda Erin, and for the past twelve years, I’ve been married to my wonderful, sometimes maddening, and always lovable husband, Kevin Clarence. Over the years, I’ve learned that marriage isn’t just about the grand, sweeping romantic gestures you see in movies. More often, it’s about the small, consistent, and thoughtful actions that…
It’s a strange feeling, isn’t it? That little knot in your stomach when your phone buzzes with another text from your husband asking where you are, just minutes after you told him you were on your way home. At first, it feels sweet, like he just misses you. But then it happens again. And again….
It’s funny how you can share a bed, a home, and even a ridiculously expensive cheese board with someone, yet feel like you’re miles apart. Communication, or the lack of it, is the invisible thread that either stitches a relationship together or slowly unravels it. Hi, I’m Amanda Erin, and my husband, Kevin Clarence, and…
It’s a funny thing, isn’t it? We spend so much time searching for “the one,” and then when we find them, a whole new set of questions pops up. We move from “Will I ever find love?” to “Is this real love?” and “Do they feel the same way I do?” I remember early in…

It’s funny how we spend so much time looking for red flags in relationships. We’re trained to spot the warning signs, the deal-breakers, the reasons to run. But what about the green flags? What about the quiet, consistent signs that you’ve found something truly special? Sometimes, the best things in life aren’t loud or flashy;…
Waiting to find out your baby’s gender can feel like the longest wait of your life, right? With my first pregnancy, my husband Kevin and I decided to wait until the delivery day for the big reveal. Let me tell you, those months were filled with endless guessing games, family bets, and me analyzing every…
My name is Amanda Erin, and I want to talk about something that’s not always easy to discuss. It’s about that nagging feeling in your gut, the one that whispers something isn’t quite right in your marriage. For a long time, I brushed those feelings aside, telling myself I was overreacting. My husband, Kevin Clarence,…
It’s funny how we think the big, grand gestures are what hold a relationship together. You know, the surprise vacations, the expensive jewelry, the dramatic declarations of love in the rain. And while those things are wonderful, they aren’t the glue. The real strength, the kind that weathers storms and lasts for decades, is built…
