Welcome to Life with the Petries
Hi, I’m Amanda! Welcome to Life with the Petries- a place where faith, family, neurodivergence, homeschooling, and everyday life all meet in the messy middle. Here I share what I’m learning through Scripture, the joys and challenges of family life, our experiences with autism, ADHD, our homeschool journey, and the imperfect moments in between.
What You’ll Find Here
Faith
Scripture, Bible study, encouragement, and what I’m learning as I follow God through everyday life.
Family
Everyday family life- the joys, challenges, memories, laughter, and all the imperfect moments that make up our story.
Neurodivergence
Life with autism, ADHD, and different ways of experiencing the world- sharing what we’ve learned, what helps, and the joys and challenges along the way.
Homeschool
Our homeschool journey, including lessons, resources, hands-on learning, what works for us, and the reality of homeschooling a neurodivergent learner.
