Hello and Welcome!

Hello! And welcome to my page! 

I want to start off my introducing myself. I hope you are ready!

My name is Amanda Busby. I am a wife, daughter, teacher, friend, fur-mother, and a child of God!

 I live in a small town in Mississippi where everybody knows everybody’s business. The joys!

I am married to my sweetheart from my high school days. We starting dating 12 years ago and have been married for 5 years. So we are technically an old married couple!

I am a Christian. My life purpose is to serve God. There is nothing else. He is my number one priority. Wherever He leads, I follow. I have reformed theological views, and believe that ALL things are preordained by God.

I have been teaching elementary school for 6 years. I student taught in Kindergarten, taught 4th grade as a long term sub, taught second grade for 2 years, taught third grade ELA for 3 years, and now I am moving to 4th ELA. Whew! I thought I was finally settled in third grade, but I am looping my kids to fourth grade. So, it’s a roller coaster ride, but I wouldn’t change it for the world!

I am what you call “crunchy” because I live a natural lifestyle. I am on a journey to natural health and wellness. I have gotten rid of all chemicals in my home, and replaced them with plant based products and essential oils. This has been the game changer in my family.

Last, but not least, I am living a ketogenic lifestyle. That means my diet consists of high fat, low carb, and moderate protein. I started playing around with low carb a few years ago, but I didn’t see much results and I was hungry all of the time! I discovered the Keto way of eating and finally got serious with it in December of 2018. So far, I have lost a total of 26 pounds, and have gained so many health benefits and definitely confidence.

I am so excited to connect to share recipes, teaching resources, encouragement, lifestyle hacks, and natural living inspiration! Thanks for being here!
