For Amanda, poetry and writing have been a passion of hers since she was a teenager. And that love of creativity and expression continued when she and her husband had their children. Her favorite part of the day (and theirs) was the treasured bedtime stories. These tales were always elaborate and full of adventure that would have the kids wanting more. Little did they know, but each night the stories had lessons for them about how to handle things that were going on in their daily lives. They loved the stories, and Amanda loved making them special each and every night. She hopes they will enjoy seeing many of their frugal tales in this very special way!
