Hi, I'm Tandra.

Mother to Alora & Vivia.

Writer of all things family & exploration.

My superpower? Finding adventure even in the mundane.

Join me on WRAL Family for even more adventures.

As a blogger & freelance writer, I've partnered with many companies & household name brands. My writings have also appeared in multiple publications. For the full scoop about my journey, scroll to the longer version below. Reach me via email at thrillermomlove@gmail.com.

THE FULL SCOOP…

Motherhood & adventuring get me most excited to greet the day. Within those 24 hours, you’ll also find me vibing to all kinds of music & trying to read more books than humanly possible.

North Carolina is home. I'm perfectly located a few hours from the beach AND the mountains.

INTERESTS...

Writing is my first love. Along with starting a blog, I once wrote a column in a local magazine. I’m published in an anthology, Lose The Cape: Never Did I Ever (and Then I Had Kids) & Weird Parenting Wins. Find more of my writings within the TODAY Parenting Team Community.

My passion for fitness fuels my drive to keep up with my daughters. I’m at my best when healthy & strong. Powerlifting & cardio are my preferred workouts. I’m addicted to strength!

As for adventuring, seeing the world is my ultimate goal. Local explorations, however, are equally exciting. Whether mountain hiking, chasing river views, visiting museums, or in our own backyard… best believe we’ll make it a good time!

My love for the camera runs deep despite my shyness. In earlier years, I was an extra on movies & t.v. shows like The Water Is Wide & One Tree Hill. I also had a small speaking part in a local independent film. In 2016, I was one of the cast members of the national series, Listen To Your Mother. When it comes to photography, landscapes & family photos win my heart every time.

Video blogging, aka vlogging, is so much fun to me. I enjoy capturing moments & making memories. Inevitably, I created a Youtube channel to record my family’s adventures. Find us here. We’d love for you to subscribe. It’s free!

I’m always open to working with businesses/brands individually & with my family. We’ve collaborated on brand campaigns, sponsored posts, sponsored travel, & more. To inquire about a potential partnership, reach me at thrillermomlove@gmail.com.

THE STORY...

How the heck did I come up with the name Thriller Mom? I’ve heard this question a few times.

Here's a quick backstory...

"Once upon a time, a little chocolate woman gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Life was sweet... until it wasn't. Motherhood showed no mercy towards the inexperienced mom & she lost her cool. As she ranted about her daughter's behavior, she caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror looking JUST LIKE Michael Jackson (the zombie version) in his Thriller music video. She had a good laugh & boom... Thriller Mom was born!"

THE BLOG...

It started as a personal soapbox to vent parenting frustrations through humor & blatant honesty. As time passed, it transformed into a personal brand sharing parenting tips, mom life experiences, & family adventures.

Tandra (the woman) & Thriller Mom (the brand) continue to evolve. I’m laser focused on becoming a better writer, better content creator, & expanding my family’s adventures. I’d love to have you join us on this journey.
