Welcome to my little corner of the Internet! I'm Amanda and I'm a working mom, wife to a soldier, blogger, scrap booker, runner, reader, and too many other things to list.
The Calm Before the Storm is a lifestyle blog about trying to keep it together while getting healthy, making sure everyone survives another day, navigating the ever changing maze of the military, and wandering around this world we call life.

This blog will serve as an outlet for me to voice my opinions and thoughts as a woman, wife, Michigander, New Yorker, future mother, business professional, and as one of the newest members of the Army National Guard community. Somehow I have to figure out how to balance all of that together!
