All in Amy's Adventures
Got a New Year's resolution brewing? I don't and I have to tell ya I just can't. If you are like me and just can't set the resolution read on. If you have one....still read on, something might stir in you! You never know!
Today marks the first anniversary of my mother's death. I have dreaded this day. Not near as much as the day I buried her, but I have dreaded it. To get through it, I decided to write her a letter. Dear Mom....
Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year! I just love it! I love the magic it brings! I love the hope it brings! And I love the Love it brings!
The Count down to Christmas is on! Have you finished your shopping or are you in a wee bit of a panic mode like me? If so I have some options! Together we can make the magic happen!
I keep dreaming about my mom. It is so strange. I am not in a fog or depression, but I do keep dreaming about her and that does make my mornings a little tougher. I have to process the dream and cry a little.
Today I will make a heartfelt confession and one I hope other moms can learn from....
I am not an expert when it comes to girl gifts, but if you have men in your life, I think I can help you out. Check out these ideas and let me know what some of yours are.
It is my sweet boy's birthday.....and it has been 16 years of miracles and growth and love!
I keep getting so many questions about who designed my site and helped me launch my blog that I came up with an idea. A guest blogger! And that guest would be the my social media coach! Meet Shay! I think you guys will love her! I know I do!
Thanksgiving 2017 at the Beach did not disappoint! It was VERY sweet and salty!
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A UNIQUE ADVENT CALENDAR, I HAVE FOUND THE PERFECT ONE.
It was thanksgiving last week and we were suppose to be Grateful Right?! So then why oh why do we get so stressed!!!!!
Christmas is such a magical time of year and if you are anything like me you love to find the PERFECT gift for each person in your life. I honestly hate the idea of giving a gift card or cash, but my teenagers seem to think the latter is the perfect gift. I still however, strive to find the PERFECT gift even for the not so fun at times beast we know as a teenager.
It's Thanksgiving...do you find yourself in the "firsts" club like me?
Have you ever heard the quote "faith like a child"? I have numerous times and last night Graeme Berry displayed faith that I only wish I could have an ounce of! His faith was so innocent, so real, and so big that my heart burst with love and joy watching him speak.
I honestly had not planned on blogging today, but after the amazing day I had yesterday, well, I just had too! Yesterday, I got to play with Jewelry and dress a model and help a photographer! As a boy mom, I promise you this is a day in paradise for me! A day away from stinky soccer shoes, stinky dance shoes, and stinky six year old boy clothes!
I don't know about you, but I find myself making mistakes daily. Some days are just a series of tiny mistakes that really amount to nothing, but every once in a while I make a BIG MISTAKE. When the mistake involves my kids I feel awful.
Do you ever find yourself stumbling in the darkness? I don't mean in the "literal sense", I mean in the "figurative sense". I know I do and I do quite often. Usually I can find my way out of the darkness, but there have been two times in my life where finding my way out was like digging through concrete.
If someone would of told me 10 years ago that when my mom died my sister and I would be sharing the responsibility of taking care of my father I probably would of laughed in their face. My father was and still is one of the most independent, strongest, men I know. However, life has taken a toll on his memory and he cannot live alone.
