AboutAmy
I remember in my 20s thinking that my 30s were sure to be a death sentence. I am lucky! It's so much more.
I have two beautiful, full-of-energy children, Dylan (5) and Olivia (3), and a great husband, Jason, that joins me in my effort to strive to have it all by my own definition.
But, we are the Jones and we are still figuring out what all means. And why would anyone want to keep up with us?
In fact, as I am writing this, our 5-year-old is throwing a fit and he can't remember why he's upset, and sometimes in moments like this, I struggle to know what is the best answer.
Jason and I have decided that it's trial and error at its best. Sometimes you get it right and sometimes you don't.
about the Self-Declared Jones Family President:
-
She loves reading books. Fiction books about complicated relationships and surviving hardships are her favorite. Throw in a love story and you will really make her happy.
-
Binge watching a TV drama series is what she would do if she wasn't chasing kids on a Saturday. (Mad Men, Breaking Bad, House of Cards, Scandal, and Orange is the New Black).
-
She has lots of dreams to do lots of things. She tries to be realistic and sometimes she doubts herself. She likes to be a doer and a dreamer.
-
Her day job consists of planning fundraising events for a local hospital foundation. She also does the marketing and is kind of geeky about nonprofit marketing trends.
-
She believes that friendships are essential to one's happiness.

What some happy readers say:
"Amy believes that it takes a village to do almost anything. Grow professionally, raise children, and become a thriving member of society are all a team effort. You will enjoy her experiences and her stories because you can identify with it ."
