| December 6, 2012 | Posted by Amee under Family, General, Inspirations |
Yep two birthdays right in a row. I made sure last year to walk my baby out before it was the 6th of December because no mom should have to share her birthday, let alone their child. I thought it might be fun to tell you 35 things about me, as a way to get to know me a bit better. Jimmy Carter was President the year I was born.… more

The Power of Prayer
| January 14, 2012 | Posted by Amee under Family, Inspirations |
This past week on my personal Facebook page I asked for prayer from my friends and family for something of which I could not divulge the details. I was overwhelmed by the likes and the comments of “done”, “praying”, “thinking of you, hope everything is okay!” and so on.
