About
My name is Amy and I am a wannabe Martha Stewart farmer. I say things like "Holy Jones" and "Oh My Dog". I live in coastal North Carolina in a little cottage by (across the street from) the sea (White Oak River). I am a photographer (for real), a housewife, a farmer, a chef, cleaning lady, financial advisor, interior designer, dog groomer, day laborer, and much more. I do it ALL. I blog about it.
