Amy . . .

What would you like to know? I am fun, but crazy. I have a most perfect husband, and 2 cats named Samson and Delilah. We are presently working on adopting a little girl from China and have a separate blog for that. I am a Christian and am working on a better relationship with him. I live in the Atlanta area and love sharing stories with people. I am also a pediatric nurse and I love it! I love to talk and meet new people and I love Disney Cruising

1. Amanda always has great book reviews. Here's her most recent recommendation.

2. Marianne, along with some other great blogs, has this blog for just her recipes. Latest posted recipe: fruit dip. Yum!

Have a great week, Amy!

Laura said...

I've been a tad AWOL (whoops!). Funny thing - I've posted exactly these two things recently. Let me not self-promote, though. Always better to actually scavenge. ;)

1. Book recommendation - the ladies over at 5mins have started a new weekly feature with a book recommendation (sorry - sorta cheating). Today's book looks great.

2. Recipe - Laura at http://orgjunkie.blogspot.com has her Menu Plan Monday up, and she's got a great recipe for Pizza Pancakes that sounds really tasty!

1. & 2. On Sunday, May 6th Southern Girl has posted two book recommendations by the same author that was new to her~ Elizabeth Berg. Plus she has a recipe for:

Honey-Chicken Salad

1 cup sweetened dried cranberries
1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
1/3 cup honey
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Mix all ingredients together and chill.

My hubby said he would make this for me this week! She usually has a post called Savory Sunday where she has a great recipe and a book review or two. Check her out at:

Lisa is doing the Newbery Challenge, along with her Dystopian Challenge and today she reviewed The Giver. This is a book that I have read and it is a book read by many middle schools, as an adult I really got into it.

Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now keep it up!

I’ve been eating low carb on the Atkins way of living for the past 5 years or so. After I started the diet, I really enjoyed the extra energy I have while eating low carb and it has increased my blood chemistry as well! I’m very thankful to Dr. Atkins. I would really recommend it to anyone looking to adopt a new healthy way of living.
