 Amy's bookshelf: 2024
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...
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...

I’m not an amazing writer. I’m not funny. I don’t write for awards or money. So why do I write?
1. Document our lives 2. Remember the little things 3. Share the lessons I’ve learned 4. Work through challenges 5. Share ideas with friends and family 6. Leave a piece of me for my kids and grandkids 7. Help others by example and stories of successes and failures 8. A way to display some of the tens of thousands of photos I’ve taken the past 10 years 9. Explore my strengths and develop them 10. REMEMBER REMEMBER REMEMBER I started blogging in 2007 and can’t imagine life without it. Before blogging I wrote in a journal. I’m glad I have those journals but they don’t have pictures, they don’t include all of the fun adventures we have. Plus, the journals are difficult to read (ask Scott, my handwriting is atrocious). I rarely found the time to write so I would keep a list of things we did or funny things Jade said and try to write about them months later. Now, I can quickly post a picture and a few words and always remember. One day, maybe I’ll be able to go and re-write all of the journals in a blog and then toss them. But for now, I’ll keep writing nearly every day. I’ll take pictures every chance i get. I’ll share tips and tricks to balancing a life filled with work, play, laughter and tears, faith and everything else that comes with a family with two little girls. If you write, why do you?

In our house there won’t be any more babies, unless they come to visit with their mom and dad. So my girls don’t have very many opportunities to hold a baby and I have to capture the moment when they do. We welcomed our new niece into the world on Friday.
When I read about the theme for this week, I immediately knew which picture I had to use. I Heart Faces said “We have had several B&W themes in the past, but this one will be a bit different. In this portrait photo challenge, we are looking to see how you incorporate an interesting scenic background into your entry. Your entry must also have a human face in it somewhere, BUT the face does not have to be clearly showing…it can even be the back of the person’s head that is showing. Please focus more on showing off beautiful scenery in your photo entry than on the actual face this week.” The photo I have chosen is from the Mirabell Gardens in Austria. Jade was running from us and we decided to let her run. And so she ran back and forth several times. I will forever love this picture, even though I took it before I knew how to shoot in anything but Auto.

Today my Sister-in-Law gave birth to a beautiful little girl. Lydia Elisabeth couldn’t have been any more perfect. I took a bunch of pictures but this is one of my favorites. Check out the other “best shots” over at Home is Where You Start From – the host of the L.E.N.S. contest |
