Who is the Nut House Mama?



I am Andie, a fifty-something mom and grandma, and wife to a long-time aviation nut. I love being out in God's creation, experiencing the vast variety of landscapes and people that make up our planet. I am especially fond of the mountains and of the ocean and am most at peace in a mountain meadow or watching the waves crash at the ocean shore.
While I have been blessed with many "careers" in my life (certified medical assistant, ministry leader, artist) my real "job" is serving the Lord however He leads me and wherever I am. He has taught me (and continues to teach me) much through the ups and downs of life and the importance of holding to Him, especially when life is crazy. (And it's been crazy - this is how I earned the name "Nut House Mama" from family and friends.) I am a follower of Jesus, a believer in prayer and miracles, the healing power of humor, hope, and hugs, and paying it forward.
I love to travel, create, write, and I appreciate a fine, icy craft beer at the end of a long day. (And Baskin Robbins Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream. We can't forget the ice cream.)
Here at Nuthousemama.com you can find links to purchase my coloring books (Coloring Books tab), a tutorial on prayer doodling (Prayer Doodles tab), my blog (Blog tab, obviously) and some of my favorite inspirational quotes, photos and art (Inspiration tab). I have also added a Prayer page with ideas I've personally found helpful for enriching my own prayer life, tips on getting started and even sample prayers I've written or collected over the years.
Please don't hesitate to reach out to me via the contact form at the bottom of the pages. (I really do answer them!)
