About this Blog

Entering her 50s, Amy takes in stride the journey of parenting and marriage, using her trademark humor to deal with her approaching empty nest and changing family dynamics. A native Eastonian, Amy has recorded both her crazy antics and bittersweet parenting moments (which seem to go hand-in-hand) in a black book she keeps next to her bed. She explores what really matters at the end of the day and what lessons life has to offer as she enters this new phase of her life.
