Howdy everyone! My name is Amy --- a wife to Joe (or Joey as I call him), who is my best friend and love of my life. I have a beautiful 30 year old daughter who is a neonatal doctor and two amazing step kids, 32 and 26, in sales and sales ops. I couldn't be more proud of them all. Joe and I have been blessed with two beautiful homes, one oceanfront in California and the other is a lake front in Texas.
I have been remarried now for ten years and feel incredibly blessed in so many ways. Like many of us, I came out of a really bad situation with my ex husband, and have to pinch myself most days knowing that during that whole volatile experience, God had another plan for me, I just didn't see it. I now know that marriage truly can be a spiritual picture and testimony of Christ's love for the church and I absolutely love sharing this love with others!
Since social media was "a thing", I have always been that person that loves to post (complete opposite of all my friends). I remember snap chat like it was yesterday and sometimes miss those ridiculously, silly faces it filtered out for us! Over the years, My Space, Snapchat, Facebook and now Instagram, it has been a part of my daily routine, and I can truly say I really enjoy it!
I used to be an athletic director and volleyball coach but retired when I married Joe. But I look back on those days and interestingly enough, one of my passions was homes even back then. (I blame this on my mom as she always had a knack for decor). I remember my first home I built as a single mom in the early 2000's, it was head-to-toe the whole French-Country vibe, completely NOT the norm back then. And now over the past ten years, I have remodeled (or completely gutted) three apartments, one townhouse, and three large homes. The two homes we now reside in were huge projects that took many years to complete, but 1000% worth it! Once we finally became settled in life, I knew I wanted to start my own business. I would ask myself, what is your passion? Answer..home remodeling, home decor, fashion, food, wine, and travel! After posting on instagram for a few years, I started gaining an interested audience. I was constantly getting asked for advice on home decor and fashion finds. I absolutely love helping others improve their space or improve their wardrobe. Through this new adventure, I'd like to save any profits for my future grandkids; for example, the cost of private school. I'd also like to bring more attention to my charity, www.educateme4life.org. This charity raises funds for single moms in trade school or college. So excited you're by my side in this new journey. To God be the glory!

I played volleyball on a full scholarship at Texas Tech University
My idea of camping is a hotel without room service.
I skydived when I turned 40 and have bungee jumped three different ways (the reverse bungee, being sling-shot in the air from the ground, jumping off a platform standing up, and a backwards dive with the rope on my ankles. Option three is quite terrifying! (no regrets)
I have eaten at 63 Michelin restaurants around the world...42 one stars, 10 two stars, and 11 three stars. Can you say FOODIE? ๐๐๐
I love dancing and twirling all around my house when I'm all alone. You must try this!
You know the movie TOP GUN? My dad was the actual winner as a fighter pilot in fighter school and displays his trophy proud! (this isn't really about me, but it's just too cool not to share!
You can't be in a bad mood when eating caviar.
Don't let age define your fashion.
Just twirl!
Smiling is medicine
You can never overdress
Refuse to be invisible
Style gets better with age
Life is too short to wear boring clothes
You were my cup of tea, but I drink champagne now
You know what they say about drama?...Dog crap only stinks when you step on it....so let it lie (JOE)
