You know those random little purchases that end up becoming one of your favorite things in the house?

This countertop fan was one of those for me.

Isn’t she CUTE! The boys yell EVAAAAAA into it, and hearing that teleports me to my childhood, talking into an old box fan. I originally bought it thinking it would just help a little in the kitchen while cooking, but now it somehow moves around the house all day long depending on where the chaos is happening. 😂

It has officially become:

  • kitchen fan
  • homeschool table fan
  • “mom is overstimulated” fan
  • makeup/get ready fan
  • cleaning fan
  • duck chores cooldown fan
  • and occasionally the “everyone is suddenly hot for no reason” fan

I honestly underestimated how much I would use it, and it’s QUIET.

One of the biggest things I’ve learned as a mom is that small comforts matter. Little things that make the house feel calmer, cooler, quieter, or more functional really do add up.

Especially during homeschool days, cooking dinner, or cleaning the kitchen for the 47th time, having a little airflow somehow makes everything feel less overwhelming.

So if you’ve been debating getting a small fan for your countertop, vanity, homeschool space, office, or kitchen…

this is your sign. 💛

Simple little home upgrades that make everyday life easier are always worth it in my book.

I’ll link the one I purchased here because I know someone will ask. 😉

Hi, I’m Amanda 👋

Welcome to Flock of Fromans — where unreal aspirations meet real-life chaos… and somehow we make it work.

I’m a wife, homeschool mom to twin boys, project starter, list maker, creator, organizer, animal lover, and professional manager of beautiful messes. Life around here is full of ducks, dogs, homeschool books, house projects, content ideas, endless snack requests, too much candy and approximately 37 tabs open in my brain at all times.

I truly love creating systems and routines that make life feel magical — but let’s be honest… half the time I’m color-coding plans while simultaneously asking, “Has anyone seen Howard?” and wondering why there are rain boots on the kitchen counter.

Around here, we believe everyday life deserves a little sparkle — even if the laundry isn’t folded.

You’ll find things like:

🦆 Homeschool adventures and resources
🏡 Home projects and seasonal inspiration
✨ Mom hacks and “typical Amanda things”
📚 Organization, routines, and making chaos feel cozy
🛒 Favorite finds, storefronts, and things we actually use
🎨 Creative projects and downloads
🐾 Howard, ducks, and all of our animal sidekicks
☕ Honest moments from motherhood and real life

My goal isn’t perfection. It’s creating a home and life that feels joyful, welcoming, and full of memories—even when things are a little loud, a little messy, and dinner guests appear last minute.

This space is where I’m sharing our real life: the projects, the routines, the homeschool days, the adventures, the wins, the “oops” moments, and everything in between.

So grab a coffee (or reheat it for the third time 😉), settle in, and come join our flock.

We’re figuring it out as we go over here—and honestly? I think that’s the magic.

I’m so happy you’re here.

♡ Amanda
