Hi, I'm Amy Andrews. And I have issues. I used to be "Not Your Typical Pastor's Wife" but am no longer. Get the details here. In the meantime, look around. There are lots of posts archived below and a new season of life means an expanded scope of topics in the works. I'm currently on a quest to streamline my daily life so I have more time, money & energy to focus on my greater life's purpose. I'll be sharing a lot of hints, tips and ideas I've collected about simplicity, frugality, productivity, personal finance, parenting, education & more. Subscribe and hang out!
