All in Amy's Adventures

The Curse That Cannot Be Reversed

I never intended to be a parent of a special needs child. And though I had hopes of the fairy tale family where everyone breathed on their own, milestones were met with ease; I soon realized that I was just not meant to live in a perfect castle, high on a hill, while those below thought my life was something more “perfect” than it was.

Letter to Barbara

Dear Mrs. Bush,

When I heard the news you had declined medical intervention I really did not know that much about you.  I knew the basics. I knew you were the First Lady and I knew one of your sons had been President, which those two facts alone make you something big in my book.

Diary of an Amazon Mom Part 2

Ah Friday!  How I have needed you this week?  I don't know about the rest of you, but the end of the school year is always hard on me.  Maybe it is because I am a mom of three VERY active beautiful boys.  Maybe it is because there is a banquet for EVERY interest they are in.  Maybe it is because there are still soccer games, flag football games, baseball games, dance recitals, orchestra concerts, choir concerts, homework, projects, fundraisers, and the list goes on and on!  Oh and did I mention that I have yet to book the littlest guy in any summer camps or vacation bible schools? 

Amazon mom!

Amazon might be taking over the world, but I assure you they have saved this busy mom's butt a number of times!  Heck Amazon saved Christmas 2017 for the Berry Family!  Take a look at what I get and how it continues to save me week after week!

How Does Your Garden Grow?

I just spent the most magnificent,relaxing, week away with my husband. On the plane ride back I started my third book of the trip and the whole basis was flowers and love.  Through this book, I realized our marriage, and all meaningful relationships, are the same in that relationships are like a garden.  If you don't tend to them, water them, and clean them out at times, what happens? They die.

A Love Letter to Trey

When I started my blog and my writing I made a pact with my husband I would not air any of our dirty laundry.  I am very open as most of you know by now and Trey's one request is that I would respect our "stuff."  I agreed with him, but with the knowledge of knowing at some time I would have to make it very clear that our marriage is not a story book marriage.

Sister Up with Salad!

In keeping with the theme of my week....Sister Up...I decided to share with you all a recipe I got from my FAVORITE SISTER in the whole world.  My big sister Robin.  Robin and I are from the same parents, but, I will tell you, anyone who knows us would say we are polar opposite.
