Welcome to Suburbia!

Welcome to Suburban Nonsense! Here you will find everything from great coupons, organizing, fashion and home decorating ideas. Anything a busy mom or wife could want!


So who are these casual ladies? Kate and Amanda Jo! Just in case you don't already know us, let us introduce each other!


History of Kate and Amanda Jo


Long ago (our freshman year of high school) in a town not too far away from where we live now (about 15 miles), Kate's mom gave me (Amanda Jo) a ride home from school. And....that's about all we can remember in regard to how we met...


We spent the next few years waving at each other in the hallway at school but not really connecting again until we both ended up in the same summer school class the summer before our senior year. That summer was full of cruisin' for guys while listening to classic rock and drinking Yoo Hoo's.


Senior year, we went our separate ways again until after-prom. Our dates decided to ditch us for the craps table so we went off on our own merry little way and had a blast! That summer and the following semester of college we hardly spoke.



After we got back from our stints in college we both ended up back at home and started hanging out...and have been as thick as thieves ever since.


So, without further adieu, for your reading pleasure....Here we are!


Kate Introduces Amanda Jo

Amanda is a follower of Christ, a wife to David, Mommy to Ethan and dog-mom to Benny. She currently works for the Southern Baptist of Texas Convention but is hopeful to become a stay at home mom in the future.

In her spare time, Amanda enjoys shopping, organizing and spending time with her family. She is passionate about Biblical doctorine and what it means to be a woman in God's eyes. Amanda also enjoys garage sales, antique malls, embroidery and sweet tea. Also, good sportsmanship, losing at Scrabble and Extreme Makeover Home Edition are sure ways to make Amanda cry.


I promise she is cooler than she sounds.


Amanda Jo Introduces Kate
Kate is a servant of Jesus Christ, the wife of Blake and the dog-mom of Merry, Baylee and Lilly. As a stay at home wife Kate fills her time with cleaning, organizing, napping, eating bon-bons, volunteering and cooking.

She is a 'what you see, is what you get' kind of girl. I'd discribe her as quirky, fun and sarcastic which makes for some REALLY fun coffee shop conversations. I have to say how blessed I am to know Kate. Not only is she a no drama, no fuss kind of friend but she really is in love with Jesus Christ.

Oh, and she makes a REALLY good batch of hot cocoa!
