Hi, I’m Amanda — the “Pierce” behind Pierce and Spice

Hi,
I’m Amanda –

Mandy for friends. I’m a mom of (pre) teens, a chronic over-thinker, and the kind of person who starts organizing a closet at 10 p.m. because I suddenly “feel inspired.”

I started Pierce and Spice as a place to share my love for home, food, and the in-between moments that make life hilariously unpredictable. This isn’t one of those perfect-house, perfect-meal blogs — it’s more like:

“Oops, I burned dinner again but at least my throw pillows match now.”

What You’ll Find Here 

A little bit of everything that makes life messy and magical:
    •    Real food for real people (no truffle oil required)
    •    Home projects that prove crooked can still be cute (Sorry Joe)
    •    Parenting stories from the trenches of teenhood
    •    Mini adventures that remind us there’s joy in the small stuff

And yes, the occasional deep thought snuck between cookie recipes — because that’s how my brain works.

Life doesn’t have to be perfect to be good.
It just needs a little flavor — a dash of humor, a sprinkle of grace, and the willingness to try again (preferably with snacks).

So here at Pierce and Spice, I celebrate the everyday — the burnt toast mornings while running late, the good hair days, and everything in between. Because sometimes, the most “spiced” parts of life are the ones we didn’t plan for.

Grab your favorite mug, pour something warm, and let’s figure out this next chapter together. ❤️
