Streamlining life.
Hi. This is the part of my site where I talk about my real life and organize things I like. Like an online notebook or journal. It's a bit thin at the moment, but there will be more here soon.
My latest posts are below and you can always get back to this page by using the link in the navbar. Search at the top of the page too. Are you looking for my blogging tips (a.k.a. Blogging with Amy)? You can find them here. Thanks for stopping by.
I've moved 27 times in my life. That's a lot of box toting. It's also a lot of house living which is to say, I have an intimate knowledge of 27 homes on this planet and let me tell you, they are not all created equal. (But I'm grateful for all of them.) That's House [...]

Now, I'm no decorating genius (or expert, amateur or even budding photographer as you can plainly see), but as I tell my children, every once in a blue moon I come up with a good idea. This is one of them: the triple bunk bed. I did not make up the concept of triple bunk [...]
Yesterday in church we were worshipping and it was great. I was totally into it. So was Brian. Well, I assume Brian was into it because apparently no one was keeping an eye on the children. Because after worship, I turned around and the 8yo was sprawled on the floor trying to join the 6yo [...]
I have a confession to make. I am a people pleaser. I like people to like me. I don't like it when people don't like me. It gives me hives. Now, I know this is not healthy. I know this is not good. I know this is not Biblical. But hey, I have lots of issues [...]
