Hey there! I'm Amber! I created Other Side of the River in February of 2024.
I started this site as a personal blog that I could use to document memories. I need a one-stop-shop to reference our projects; something I can return to for inspiration or motivation.
I had every intention of connecting these articles to my social media, but I got carried away with my social media and forgot to link the two. I've decided to start fresh in order to merge my social and website.
Starting now, December 2024, you will find my featured articles below. The articles are will be connected to my social and will be RANDOM because I am many things: a wife, mother, teacher, friend, homesteader, DIYer, sister, chef, baker, home renovator, camper, outdoor enthusiast, a tad bit crunchy, and I probably have undiagnosed ADHD like most people these days.
