Visited the Pittsburgh Mills Mall in PA today for the first time. Quite possibly the most eerie and defunct mall I’ve ever walked through.

May I present to you a picture of my mom aged 17 in the late 1980’s working at McDonald’s?

You can now own two of my favorite mushroom paintings that I’ve ever made 🍄‍🟫🍄 magickmaximus.com/collections/...

Toddler-sized sinks & toilets in public restrooms are a life safer! After seeing a small toilet at the mall, my 3 year old shouted “A POTTY FOR ME?!” and eagerly used the bathroom without any assistance from me. No fuss or tears like usual! Very thankful for those who think of kids’ needs!

Who wants to give my original mushroom drawing a home? ✌🏻🥰 magickmaximus.com/products/ori...

Anyone else love the Buns of Steel workout video as much as I do? Anyone? Well, here’s some fan art! 🍑⚙️🦾

Star butter makes everything better ⭐️

I took a selfie the other day. Who is she? I have wrinkles—those happy-eyed wrinkles. My cheeks red and splotchy, dappled in a pimple or two. My hair is thin and greasy. My pores deep. Yet I look so satisfied, happy, and mature. And I’m so happy about it!! What a gift it is to age!

Topping your home baked sweets with toddler-picked violets feels extra special in the springtime!

Humans are about to fly to the moon again for the first time in 50 years and I haven’t seen a single soul talk about it online? What’s up with that??? This is huge!!

It was 80° F one day, then 18° a couple days later, then back up to 75° followed by a few days of 30° temps before going back up to 70° then dropping to 40°. I can feel my bones crumbling into dust.

Flour Flower :’)

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

Long live 2D animation (& practical effects).

My most recent writing! A letter to my webcomic… substack.com/@amayahearth...

that trope where the vhs covers are so adorable looking and when you watch it it’s just one of the most devastating movies you’ve ever seen in your youth

If you’ve followed me for a while, you know very well that I grew up in a house that never had heat and barely had working water. It breaks my heart to even say this… My childhood home is getting condemned.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

Sometimes you just have to draw some magical kitchen things . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ݁

Whenever I do get my rare moments to myself to draw for just a few minutes, I still can’t stop thinking about my babies 🩷

Happy Sunday 🤍

Just a few of my morel mushroom tees are left! 🍄‍🟫

I’ve just been mothering, wintering, and baking bread lately. Wishing you all warmth and kindness. 🥰

First drawing of 2026 with the 5 minutes I have to myself after the kids go to bed— A wee Gumby and his dog that cries pearls from the movie.

Farewell, 2025. Hello, 2026! Wishing you all the very happiest and healthiest of new years, my dear followers! 🩷✨

2025 was a hard year for us, but also very wonderful. My sister continues to beat cancer and heal from her surgery, I had a new baby and two stomach surgeries. We are doing incredible well all considering. I am so proud of her! May 2026 be good to you. May 2026 be the year of healing for all ✨

Just wrote up a new article on my Substack: open.substack.com/pub/amayahea...

I published my first Substack article…and it gets raw and vulnerable. substack.com/@amayahearth...

My toddler’s favorite hobby is making simmer pots with me 🥰

Somehow managed to find 5 minutes for myself so I whipped out my ipad and doodled a Gwendy to make sure I still know what she looks like lol

Wishing yall well ✌🏻✨

Life lately 😌

Baked a “Thundercake” from the book with the same title 🌩️🍓

My son and I have the same eyes

Hospital bills are piling up… If you’d like to help me out after dealing with surgeries it would mean the world to me!! 🙏🏻😭

I’m here to say hello from 2 weeks postpartum 🩷🩵 Recovery has been rough but I’m happy to say that I’m finally coming out of the worst of it all. Unable to draw much lately, but I managed to doodle a lil something simple and special— me and my wee ones. Thank you for allowing me the time to rest!

The autumn vibes are approaching at rapid speed and I’m all for it! 🍂🍄‍🟫🍁✨

Savoring the last few days of my body growing our strong, precious boy. See you soon, sweet one 🍁🍂🍄‍🟫

Fancy yourself a fine wizard art print? 🍃

I’ve gotten a lot of questions about a baby registry—I don’t have one! But if you would like to help a mama out, here is my Venmo! I would certainly appreciate it and be so grateful!

we used to build household shrines to Going On The Computer and it's no coincidence that as we abandoned these we started straying further from god's light

We’ve made it to 36 weeks! Our lil baby boy will be in my arms before we know it 🩵💙🩵💙🩵💙🩵

My Oura ring is basically calling me a lazy ass and giving me low “activity” scores and I’m like listen here I’m 35 weeks pregnant and can barely move as is LOL Cut me some slack you damn ring…

Fire cider time!! 🌿🧄🌶️🍋🧅🫚🔥

I know I haven’t been posting much lately. Just know that I am very very pregnant and taking life way slower than usual (queue me waddling barefoot in the grass picking flowers). My 2nd born will be here next month. Another chapter in my mama journey begins again!

My sweet friends & followers, I have retired my handle “doublemaximus” It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while now. A fresh start just felt right. My handle is now “Amaya Hearth Mama” It’s something that definitely rings true to my soul in this season of my life. Wanted to let yall know! ☺️
