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...

"Springtime" in my neighborhood

Yesterday morning I woke up and it was SNOWING!!!

I’m so ready for spring and I don’t think we’re even going to get it.  It will be summer before we get to enjoy the pleasant warmth – not heat – of spring.

So incase you though “April Showers bring May Flowers” – in my neck of the woods “April Snow Showers kill May Flowers”.

Mama’s Losin’ It

PS – I really had hoped to do a quick vlog about the origin of my blog name, but time was not on my side.

Another PS – Thursday will be 68 while Tuesday was in the 30’s.  Crazy weather.

    Hi ladies- Thanks so much for the kind words. The pics were all taken with my iPhone. 🙂 Gotta love that baby.

    I love Utah and how beautiful it is, but I’m sure hating that it is snowing again right now.

  • Despite the crazy weather, you captured the beauty of Utah in your last picture. That’s the exact reason we stay–those mountains, gorgeous; and oh so fun to play in during the summer months.

    I’m STILL upset about the weather! All 3 soccer games my 3yo has had have all been in 30 degree, ice-chilling weather! If the sun doesn’t come to ME, I’m going to have to go find it myself! 🙂 Beautiful photos (as usual)!

    Yep, here too. I really need some sun!! Enjoy your 68 degree day!

    Wow, I got cold just looking at these pictures!! Here in North Florida today we are watching clouds, black skies, and lightning bolts as we dodge tornado warnings. But we’ll be sweating bullets any day now — spring lasts about five hours here before the heat and humidity descend!

    Definitely encourage you to do the vlog. It can’t present more challenges than mine did!!!

    We had snow at my house up until the middle of May. I hope you don’t get it at your house for that long.

  • I cannot believe you have snow!! It better be a REALLY great summer for you all.

    The weather is crazy this year isn’t it?

    Those pics are just beautiful though, especially that last one!
