About Me

Hello, my name is Amiyrah.

 

About Me

I am a mom, wife, Airman in the US Air Force, African-American blogger and all around Frugal maven.  Here on 4 Hats and Frugal, I share how to live a full life on less.  For the past 12 years, I’ve built up this small corner of the internet as a place for financial accountably for myself and a learning space for my readers.

I’m a firm believer in living a frugal lifestyle without deprivation, and it’s my goal to show that with each article on this site. I’m a 3-time IRIS Awards winner, including a 2-time winner of Live Stream of the Year.  I also love to have fun with my friends, family and YouTube subscribers. If you have a love of laughing, feel free to check out a few of my videos. Join the 4 Hats and Frugal free newsletter today!

About the Family

Brandon

Brandon Sr.

I have been happily married to my best friend, Brandon, for 12 years. He’s an Ohio born, cornfed gentleman, who produces music and sometimes sits in on some of his wife’s YouTube videos. He moved to New Jersey for love; his love for me and his love of New York City. And now we live in Ohio. It all came full circle! We seldom argue, except during football season when he pulls out his Steelers jersey and I pull out my Giants jersey.

Brandon Jr Headshot

Brandon Jr.

My dear son, Brandon Jr., entered our lives 14 years ago. He’s a techie, a Star Wars geek and a lover of anything that has to do with science and history. He’s the kid that would rather build a roller coaster than ride one. He’s becoming a big fan of 80s cartoons, gardening, and sushi. This little bookworm warms my heart and the hearts of others. He’s an extrovert, just like his sister.

Alannah 2015

Alannah

It was just 9 short years ago when we were blessed with our little firecracker, Alannah. She’s a fashionista, an actress (ahem Drama Queen), and a lover of anything Disney-related. She’s a foodie like her mom, but doesn’t love mushrooms or green beans. She’s the kid that will watch red carpet shows with me, then run off to her room to don a cape and save her dolls and teddies. She’s bold, brazen, loud, beautiful and we love her for it.

James Headshot

King James

In August of 2014, our brood grew just a bit more. 5 year old Baby James is now the head of our household, causing everyone to fall all over themselves with every baby step, giggle and loud preschooler scream. He’s a sweet boy that loves his mama, cars, lightsabers, Cheerios, pizza, and our scheduled dance parties. We love seeing his very lively personality develop daily.
