I don't have my ducks in a row— I have squirrels and they are everywhere.

Hey there, everyone! I'm Amanda, a 36-year-old mother of three from Illinois. Can I sell my teenagers on here? 😂 I earned my bachelor's degree in nursing but had to leave bedside nursing after starting treatment for breast cancer in 2018. This led me to find a new passion for social work and, well, sitting at a desk and getting a bit chunky in the process! 😂 I'm set to graduate next year with my MSW from UIUC. I had a double mastectomy in May 2024 and have had some complications since then. I'm currently on unpaid leave due to this being a pre-existing condition, so now my student loans aren't the only bills piling up. Your support in helping this shopaholic Momma start selling things here instead of just buying them means the world to me. Every purchase from my shop helps me support my children and our fur babies. Eloise is the fluffy kitty that we rescued from the streets. Whiskers is a chunky Boi that we rescued from a dumpster as a kitten. Ben, our 14-year-old cocker spaniel, had a stroke and now needs to wear diapers inside, but he's still a free spirit outside on walks and the numerous times a day that he goes outside. As for the kids—there's the snarky teenager one, snarky teenager two, and mommy’s girl. ❤️❤️❤️ Oh, and the tall one is my fourth child. 😎 Thank you for helping me turn this side hustle into a way to hopefully pay off some of these bills that are piling up. Your support means everything to us.
