Thank you so much for visiting my little blog!

My name is Amber and I first and foremost a wife and mother. I have been married to my husband for 4 years now. We met during college and dated for 8 years before we finally decided to get married. We both enjoy the simple pleasures in life, so we celebrated our marriage with a small wedding on the beach in Hawaii. It was simple, quaint, and beautiful. Everything we wanted and more.

Two years later, we welcomed our baby boy. He is the light of our life and the spitting image of his father. Our son is a toddler now and is walking, climbing, running, and just loves being outdoors. As a family we love taking trips to our local park, visiting the aquarium, and finding more and more ways to experience nature.

I am also an elementary school teacher. I have taught preschool, 3rd grade, and am currently teaching 2nd grade. I am so blessed to have a career that I love and to work in an amazing school district. I enjoy all aspects of teaching and meeting my next group of kiddos each year.

I have recently decided to focus my life on living simply, frugally, and green. I am starting my journey on working towards those goals to build a happier and healthier lifestyle for my family. Follow me as I find ways to Enjoy the Calm and embrace simple living in a not-so-simple world.
