E's First Movie - "Copper" by Diane M. Dresback (Day 1)

The other day one of my friends posted a casting call on her Facebook, and they were looking for a little girl 6-9 years old, blonde, brunette, or red head. I debated taking E, and in the end, decided, what the heck . . . why not. If nothing else it would be a fun night out together. The part was for a short film (only a 15 or so page script).

Last Monday night, we drove downtown Phoenix, and E auditioned. I felt nervous because we had never done anything like this before, and because lots of the girls who were there seemed older than E and also more experienced. Still, we were there, so we just stayed. E was really excited. She did okay in her reading of the lines -- but apparently she did better than I imagined because she got the part. She practiced her lines throughout the week, and then today, my cute hubby took her to film her first scene.

Here she is practicing her lines before her scene was shot. I am so thankful that she can read because I think that really helped her to be able to suceed with this opportunity.


Here are a couple more shots while filming the first scene she is in . . .

E and the camera

I think she had lots of fun! She got home kind of late and was pretty tired when she got home. I think she learned some things too. I am glad she is participating in this project. Only a couple more scenes for her to have shot -- one tomorrow and one Monday . . .

I'm so proud of her! And seriously, it's been a year since Baby E was born? I still can't get over that.

My Decade Later Comeback and Playing Catch Up

Hello friends, It's been awhile and I kind of dropped off the face of the planet since moving to Oregon. I got busy with growing four babies into teens, and attempting to hold together a marriage with a partner who was working out of town for the most part. It was a lot! Truth be told, I have been spending most of my time over on Instagram which allows for more quick picture and caption posts (@the.amanda.sewell), but I really, genuinely miss having a journal of our adventures, so I'm back.  Some changes, my ex-partner moved out in October of 2023 (after 23 years of marriage, who would have thought?) and I am on a new, single mom adventure with the fabulous four. Luckily, they are adjusting to the changes well as we navigate this challenging time as a family team. Things are still in flux and hopefully at the end of all of this, the dust will settle and we will end up landing on our feet. Because of this change, I needed to go back to work and after not working for the past lo...

(SSD014) - Ear Infections and Pneumonia

I apologize for my late posting today . . . the countdown to being 40 weeks preggo continues.  This week has been crazy out of control already, and it's only Tuesday!  YIKES!   Friday night Baby E was running a fever and really congested.  We gave him tylenol/motrin, but he would not take in fluids, and I was worried about him, so I slept on he floor beside his bed (stupid thing to do at 39 weeks pregnant).  Anyway, I cried a bit, and when I woke up in the morning, I had the most intense pain in my right ear ever!  Seriously OW!   Saturday, Mic took the baby to the pediatrician, where he was diagnosed with double ear infections, and pneumonia -- he had a breathing treatment there, and an antibiotic shot . . . and his lungs were sounding much more clear when he left.  Late Saturday night his fever broke, much to our relief.   Sunday was an okay day, mostly we just all rested -- an interesting thought occurred to me while I was on th...
