Amy is a part-time writer — and full-time reader! — for Scary Mommy. For over a year, she’s worked with an incredible team of writers to cover all things motherhood and more.
All her life Amy knew she wanted to be a writer, but then marriage and babies happened and she put that dream aside to devote herself fully to her family. On her 30th birthday, she promised herself she’d start making time to chase the career she so badly wanted. A few years later, here she is...doing tha thing.
You may have seen her byline in Healthline Parenthood, Weird Unsocialized Homeschoolers, The Homeschool Mom, and many more publications dedicated to raising and educating little ones.
In her free time (ha! what’s that!?), Amy enjoys reading, hiking, and consumes way too much caffeine. Want to get in touch? Reach out to her by email at amythetford@gmail.com.
