A little about me:

My name is Mandy!  I started The Romance Bookie back in December of 2010, actually almost 11 years from this exact day!  It has been a hobby, escape from reality, and my go-to place to share anything and everything book related.  While The Romance Bookie's identity got a little lost there for a moment, I believe I am ready to come back and give 2022 my all!  

While I may never blog like I once-upon-a-time did, I am taking 2022 to get my hobby back!  I miss reading, and while I still get some time to do so, life has taken over.  I have a lot more responsibilities now than I did 11 years ago, including being a mom now; a love that comes number one in my life.  

However, I still love reading, and it still is the escape I crave at times.  

In 2021, I found a new love...planners.  You know daily, weekly, calendars, Happy Planners?  The whole-shebang.  I went head first and went from owning a sticker book to two, to owning any I can get my hands on, a Canon Ivy (to print my little book covers and memories on), and now a soon-to-be Cricut owner.  For 2022, I got an Always Fully Booked Planner, from Little Inklings Design, and I am absolutely in love with it!  I have every intention of using of every scare inch of that planner throughout 2022, and having a blast doing so!  

To be able to write something new in it, is my motivation to read as much as I can in 2022, because reading a book, means getting to decorate my planner some more!

So before 2022 begins, I thought I would update my About Me page, because it's been a while.

Again, my name is Mandy.  I am 30 years old.  I have a bachelors in Early Childhood Studies, which I got in 2017, after many hard years of schooling.  I have been married to my amazingly loving husband for over five years now, and we have an incredible little boy together.  My little family is my number one priority, and always will be.  Now, everyone needs a little self-care sometimes, so for my self-care (which is usually while my son naps), I enjoy decorating my planner, updating it, reading, listening to audiobooks as I work on my planner or do a craft.  I enjoy going on trips with my husband, and together we are slowly going on adventures with our little guy.  We have a dog, named Roxy, who we adopted 5 years ago.  She is ten now, and while she acts like a rebellious teenage girl, we love her.  

My favorite place to go is Walt Disney World in Florida (I know, I'm one of those).  I love the World Showcase in Epcot, exploring all the different countries, and especially roaming through "Germany", where I get to experience some nostalgia moments from my home country.  

I became a US Citizen in 2021, after having lived in the United States since 1998.  My parents and I moved to America from Germany, when I was seven years old.  Becoming, officially, an American, was a dream come true, that I will cherish for the rest of my life.  It was such a great moment, and I'm really glad I got to share it with my husband and son, who cheered me on from the sideline.  

So anyway, that's a bit about me.  :) The best way to contact me is through Instagram, where you can find me under the name @TheRomanceBookie!
