Amanda Morin served as a kindergarten teacher and early intervention specialist for 10 years, working with special-needs children and teaching parenting classes before pursuing a career as as freelance writer. In this role she has written about pediatric mental health, developmental disorders, parenting and stress management for a number of publications, including Education.com, the Maine Department of Education, ModernMom.com and others; she is also currently the Ruby Programming journalist for About.com.
From the time she was little Amanda was sure she would be famous, do something of importance, but it has taken until adulthood for her to realize it's not that it hasn't happened yet, but that important things can take place on a small scale. Since then she has enjoyed being important to her two children and her husband and struggles with aspiring to be ordinary in a world which exalts the extraordinary. As a blogger, she tends to ponder the oddities of the hectic world we live in and tries to quantify what a "good enough life" looks like.
