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...

Yahoo Shine- Reinvented

One of the really cool things that I got to do while I was at BogHer10 was get filmed for Yahoo Shine.  They had a whole set built, lights, cameras, a make-up artist and we were miked.  Then they edited them and are publishing them on their site.  Mine will go live at the beginning of next week, but for now, you can find it right here.

My sweet roommate took several pictures for me as well.  Here’s one…

The point of the video is to show how the internet has reinvented you.  I really wanted to say that because of blogging my life is more full.  Through blogging and the desire to make and document memories and lessons I have become more excited about my life, I have re-focused where the bulk of my energy is directed and I have cut back on the the things in life that don’t make me happy and keep me from finding all of the joy in my little family.

It was really fun to do and I hope it helps me share a little bit more of me.

  • Sick and tired of obtaining low amounts of useless visitors for your site? Well i wish to inform you of a new underground tactic which makes myself $900 each day on 100% AUTOPILOT. I possibly could be here all day and going into detail but why dont you just check their website out? There is really a great video that explains everything. So if your seriously interested in making simple cash this is the site for you. Auto Traffic Avalanche

    Thanks everyone for the sweet comments 🙂 I was nervous but the interviewer was fantastic and really helped me relax. She actually asked me a couple of questions before and they edited out the rest of her questions during the actual interview. It was a really fun experience.

    Great video! I’m so jealous that you made it to the BlogHer conference. I think next year I will have to do it. I love your mantra about making memories whenever you can. Family and community is so important.
    Many thanks for stopping by my blog the other day!

    How COOL is THAT??? You did AWESOME!!

    I’ll have you know I’ve made “Dan’s Chocolate Cake” several times and it’s has been a BIG HIT!! I also linked you to it from both blogs! The picture on yours is much prettier, though! I wasn’t quite as elegant. LOL!! 2 layer 12″ SQUARE! ;p

    I have an award for you on my early Tuesday AM post. ;D ((HUGS))

    I am so glad they turn out well. Since I haven’t made them, I was wondering if he gave me the “real” recipe 🙂

    Thanks for the award. I need to go through and answer the questions 🙂

    thanks – I think I said my elevator pitch 100 times during BlogHer. I was really glad we had that exercise before I went.:)
