“ Parenting is an important calling! I believe the key to successful parenting begins with the relationship we have with our children. It is the wise parent that understands this principle and is able to establish a close, caring parent child relationship that is based on mutual respect. This foundation sets the stage for everything else that is to follow. ” — Amy

What else makes Amy tick…her faith, antiquing, traveling, entertaining, gardening, fashion and decorating.
