About

Baby Bump Diaries has been around since 2007. It started as a typical mommy blog, posting stories and images from our life as a way for family to keep up with what we had going on. But quickly it became a pretty popular place to hang out online. After a while,  I felt very uncomfortable about how much of ourselves was out there for the world to see – intimate details, family photos, etc. I considered giving it up altogether, but I couldn’t part with the blogging community that I had grown to love. So I removed all of the personal family-related posts and decided to make Baby Bump Diaries a resource. Now I write on topics I love and have experience with – like blogging,  parenting, food and more. I hope you find the information here useful. <3

About Me

My name is Amanda. I live in a small town named Castaic, which is located about 30 minutes north of downtown Los Angeles, California. I am married to a very handsome man named Stan. We have a Vizsla named Berkeley,  daughter named Lily, and are expecting our third love – who is due Aug 27, 2011. I am a professional photographer in Santa Clarita. I love blogging, great food, fitness, nature, inspiration, color, and life.

I hope you enjoy what you find here. If you have questions or comments, I would love to hear from you. You can contact me here.

My Bucket List

Here is my ever evolving list of things I’d like to accomplish in this life.

• Stay happily married to a wonderful, handsome man who I love with all of my heart. (So far so good!)
• Raise 4 smart, caring, and well rounded children. (One down, one on the way.)
• Give birth naturally to at least one child. (Not sure why this is on my list.)
• Hot Air Balloon Ride
• Spend at least one month in Europe, specifically Italy and France.
• Learn to speak French fluently.
• Purchase a Canon Mark III.
• Get good at shooting video.
• Vlog, really well and not feel awkward about it.
• Run a full marathon. (Again, not sure why I would subject myself to this. But a Half Marathon is in the bag)
• Build a super successful business that allows our family to do anything we want to without using up every waking hour of my time, i.e. no financial limits.
• Have one of my photographs appear in National Geographic (print or online).
• Buy my mother a house and support her so she can retire or at least work for fun, not money.
• Drive a race car or at least in the passenger seat.
