Hi! I'm Amy G.
My 3 Monsters began many years ago as a place where I could write about my kids for the twenty-or-so friends and family members who cared to keep up with us. It has since taken on a life of its own and become a place where I can share all the fun things I'm doing around my house. I don't claim to be the most creative person in the world, but I always have a project in the works. This is me in a nutshell:
I sew a little.
I'm kind-of an interior designer. {At least my college degree and my passion say so.}
I enjoy pretty things and my crazy family.
I like "cruising" with my husband and our besties, whom we call "the compound". Yeah, we all wanna' live together when we grow up. So what?!
If I had to pick one food to eat for the rest of my life, it would be muffins.
But I'm glad I don't have to pick because I also love Thai food.
And pollo fundido.
I like to write lists.
I'm an absolute night owl, so feel free to call me late if you ever want to.
I'm obsessed with Draw Something.

That laughter is the best medicine,
in laughing early and laughing often,
in laughing a lot,
in the healing powers of ice cream (when laughter fails to do the trick),
in the power of prayer.
In being the bigger person,
in education,
in life-long learning,
in good books,

In setting goals,
in doing the impossible (or at least the really hard),
in looking on the bright side.

That home should be a refuge,
that my kids are the cutest,
in the love of a good man,
in eternal families,
in eternal friends.
In giving gifts,
in sharing talents,
that low maintenance is almost always best.

In going with the flow,
in being organized,
in living economically,
in splurging when it matters,
that newer isn't always better.
In creativity,
in potential.
In Choosing the Right,
in living with integrity,
in apologizing when I'm wrong,
in not apologizing for who I am.
In modern day revelation,
in a living prophet,
that my Heavenly Father knows me by name, and that he knows you, too.
That our Heavenly Father loves us and wants us to be happy.
Enough about me, already! This is my family. I met my husband when we were both going to BYU. I moved in with his ex-girlfriend so naturally we fell in love. Happens to everyone, right? No? Just us? OK. Anyway. Seventeen years later we are still happy as clams and have three hilarious kiddos - the 3 Monsters who inspired this blog. We live in Arizona {a far cry from Canada, where my husband was raised} and love it.
