She’s a Blessing: To the Niels clan and the rest of her family, Amanda is a special person in their lives

She is smart as a whip. She works hard to keep her business successful. She is also consistently helping out others, especially her family.

Amanda Niels is the kind of individual you want in your corner in life, and that is because of how much compassion she has, as well as passion.

As a matter of fact, her compassion and empathy – along with her work ethic and creativity – are reasons why Amanda’s husband Richard has been in love with her since they were teenagers.

“I would say she is basically my best friend,” Richard said. “I’ve known her since I was a teenager. She’s my partner in life. She’s a great mom. She’s a great wife. She’s a caring person.”

Amanda puts forth maximum effort in everything she does in life. She does things with so much grace and elegance, and she is just a wonderful wife and an even better mother.

She is there for Lucas and Logan, from helping them with their homework to inducing their more creative side in life. Amanda is very much an artistic person, and she encourages her boys to embrace those skillsets they possess.

“She was the one who had a plan set as far as what we needed to do for the kids and stuff,” Richard said. “Now, since they’re older and a little more self-reliant, she is the one who is more caring for them. She is very level-headed when it comes to issues with them, and kind and caring when it comes to caring and activities.”

Amanda is a role model for how to treat family the right way too. She places a huge point of emphasis on the importance of family, which is why she helps out her father, uncle and siblings so much. They all mean so much to Amanda, as family is everything to her.

Making memories is important to Amanda as well, as she loves going camping with Richard and the boys, along with watching movies and going to concerts together.

She is very much a teaching matriarch on top of everything else. Her family learns so much from her day in and day out, including being a great leader. She is even teaching Lucas how to horseback ride, which is something he very much enjoys and appreciates.

“Patience. That’s a big one,” Richard said when asked what he has learned from his wife. “Embrace my artistic side as well. There were definitely some times when I was younger where she would make fun of my clothes… She’s designed the entire aesthetic of our home. She’s the one who will always have these creative aspects of the home.”

Amanda can see the bigger picture, which is something a lot of people struggle with. She can take a step back and figure out what would make an aesthetic or situation better, and that is yet another amazing thing about her.

She is just overall a tremendous person with a lot of grit, a lot of heart and a lot of love, and Amanda is very much appreciated and cherished for who she is.

“I love her and she is the best person that I know. I count myself lucky every day that she is a part of my life.” – Richard
