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

Brrr Winter

Growing up in Utah always meant winters full of snow, wind and freezing cold temperatures.  When I moved to Kiev Ukraine, I learned what it really meant to be cold.  It was farther north, right on a major river and I had to wear a skirt – all the time.   Living in Kentucky brought a completely different winter than I was used to.  Church, school, work all would shut down because of the ice storms that would create a beautiful, yet dangerous sheet of ice.  And then there was Michigan.  Holy cow that was cold.  The humidity, the snow, the wind, the ice – brutal.  After all of that, I’ve returned to my roots and get to enjoy the “mild” winters of powdery snow and the occasional single digit temperatures.

Winter means to me…

Days that are too short.

Adorable little girls bundled up with bright colors and fur.

Extra blankets when I’m watching TV, cuddling with the girls (or Scott), working on my laptop and just about any other excuse to curl up with a blanket.

Hot chocolate made with marshmallows and whipped cream.

Wearing my boots and bulky sweaters.

Gaining just enough weight that I have to do a real serious diet before swimsuit season comes back around.

And the one that always gets me some of my favorite pictures…

Snow ball fights between Scott and Jade

There are more photos that just might make you a winter lover over at I heart faces.
