Meet Amy

I have struggled with the answer when asked, "What do you do?" and it isn't work-related. Ultimately, we settled on that I find things and untangle things. But I also read (a lot), pretend to wake surf, and watch Hallmark films.

The Weekend Away
it was amazing
So so good! Orla and Kate are long-time best friends off on a girls' weekend away. Kate is a bit of a player who is trying to get back at her soon-to-be-ex, causing her to spend frivolously and do drugs and hook-ups. Orla is a new mom ex...

Maybe Next Time
really liked it
Parts were a screaming 5 and parts were like “what?” And just irritated me. It is a Groundhog Day premise about a family of four - the mom is caught up in her own life and missing all that is going on around her with her kids and then he...

Introduction of Amy and the Family Trifecta

Ultimate Blog Party 2010

Over at 5 Minutes for Mom, they are having a great big blog party with lots of fun prizes.  They created the Blog Party 4 years ago to help bloggers get to know more about one another and their blogs.  So, I thought I’d be up for a party.

I’m Amy.

Over the years I have found myself loving my life yet I am constantly adding more facets to it (people might think I’m unsatisfied and I’m trying to find something to help me feel content).  I find that the more I am involved in, the happier I am, but I’ve also learned that if I’m not balancing everything in my life, others in my life are the ones that get hurt.  I’ve also learned, it’s not always easy but it’s always worth it.

I’m a wife to Scott and a mom to Jade (7) and Ivy (4).

I created this blog because I have been racing to have as much involved in my life while keeping the top 3 priorities in order.  I believe these 3 priorities that must be kept in line are faith, family and life (career and fun).  This blog is my way of documenting the race and the lessons that I have learned.  I don’t always win my trifecta bet, in fact sometimes I have barely managed to win one bet.  But, I love the race and love my life – challenges, hardships and triumphs.

I promise to post at least 4 times a week.  .

I promise to tweet whenever I think about it.

I promise to share my wins and my losses.

I promise to be open and honest.

I promise to share pictures of now and then.  (The above picture is of me when I was just 3).

Here are some of the prizes that I’d love to win…
