Meet Amanda

Welcome, friend! I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m Amanda — a millennial stay-at-home mom to the sweetest, most chaotic 2.5-year-old boy, and the mama behind Modern Mama Lifestyle. This blog is my little corner of the internet where I share everything I’m loving, discovering, and finding across home decor, beauty, fashion, mom life, and Amazon finds — the kind of stuff that actually solves real problems and makes everyday life a little easier, and maybe even a little prettier, without breaking the bank.

Real talk — I live in an apartment with limited space and a toddler who treats every room like an obstacle course. There’s no perfect aesthetic here, no sprawling farmhouse kitchen, no pretending. But I do believe you can elevate and simplify your everyday life no matter your square footage or your budget — and that’s exactly what Modern Mama Lifestyle is about.

FAQ

Honestly — not everything, and I’m not going to pretend otherwise! Some products I own and use every single day. Others I’ve researched thoroughly, read hundreds of reviews on, and would genuinely buy myself if I needed them. As an affiliate, I do earn a small commission when you shop through my links — but that will never change my standard for what I share. If I wouldn’t put it in my own cart, it doesn’t make the list. Promise. 💛

Honestly? A lot of late-night scrolling, a few too many “add to cart” moments, and a genuine love for finding things that look way more expensive than they are. I only share products I’d actually buy myself or already own — no random recommendations just to fill a list.

 If you’re a mom who wants real, affordable recommendations for your home, your kids, your beauty routine, and your everyday life — yes, this is 100% for you. I write for moms who are done with perfect and just want practical.

Amazon is my #1 for pretty much everything — home decor, baby gear, beauty, you name it. Beyond that, Target and Walmart for everyday staples, and I’m always hunting for a good deal wherever I can find one.
