About Me

Hi! I am Amy.

 I'm the blogger behind thebennettsblog.

I'm the wife of an amazingly handsome, patient, forgiving and loving husband.

I'm a mom of twin boys.

I'm "Monyay" to Hayes and "Ninny" to Parker.

I'm thankful Parker no longer calls me "da".

I'm a nurse turned stay-at-home mom.

I'm a baker and owner of Amelia's Cakery.

My given name was Amelia after my Great-Grandmother, Amelia Langotti. 

I've always been called Amy.

I was embarrassed, as a child, of "Amelia" because I didn't know anyone with that name. 

Today, I'm proud of my name and wished I'd always been called Amelia. 

I'm creative and crafty.

I like to sew.

I love Sweet Tea.

I'm addicted to chocolate chip cookies.

I'm honest to a fault and I rarely use my filter...I'm working on that. 

I've been told I have a "tone"... I'm working on that, too.

I never mean to have a "tone".

I'm broken and imperfect. 

I'm save by His grace and blessed that my Savior loves me, broken and all. 

I miss my family.

I love my sisters more than anyone has ever loved their sisters.  

Monograms make me happy.

My given initials were "ABC". 

I still can't believe I have a blonde haired little boy. 

I always dreamed of having twins. 

Breakfast is my favorite meal. I really like to eat it for dinner, but the hubby doesn't. 

We don't eat breakfast for dinner. 

I rarely make the bed, but hate climbing into bed with wonky sheets.

 I straighten the sheets before I climb into bed. If the hubby is already in bed, I straighten them with him in them.

I rarely miss an episode of Y&R. Thank goodness for DVR.

FRIENDS is my all-time favorite show.

I have battled infertility.

I'm a planner.

I wish was organized as I think I am... or plan to be.

I would love to have another set of twins.

I love my life and the people in it. 

I'm a Vols fan.

I love to cook. 

I'm thankful for hair dye and that I don't have to be my natural color, gray, quite yet. 

I never, in my wildest dreams, thought I would be a mom to boys.

Being a mom to boys is the best thing that could have ever happened to my heart.

UPDATE:: 

I'm now the mom to another set of twins!! 

(I had no clue when I did the "about me" section years ago and mentioned that "I would love to have another set of twins", that I ever would!)

Blessed "Monya" to Nora, Sophia, Parker and Hayes!

This blog is ultimately for my boys, girls, and my family but so happy to share a little glimpse of our sometimes chaotic, always exciting, life with you! Grab a seat and stay a while!
