Hey, it's Amy... I will admit, I like a New Years Resolution - 10! Or, rather, I like the idea of writing lists, making goals, fresh starts... Might we forget them in a few months (or days)? Sure. But, I think it feels good to think about how to make life more fulfilled, happier or efficient. Now, if you are someone wh...

An appetizer, a breakfast item and an easy-to-freeze favorite. In our house, these sausage balls are Thanksgiving staple. However, if you wanted to prepare and throw them in the freezer, they would make a quick and easy addition to any breakfast. I can't remember where I first got this recipe - but it's become a staple...

Here's my obvious disclaimer: consult your doctor about the best supplements to take! I've been home for over a week with my husband who was diagnosed with COVID-19. We tried to take all the right precautions: he stayed in the basement, only came upstairs wearing an N95 mask, used bleach... but yet, here I sit, with te...

A lot of parents are struggling with the decision of whether or not to trick-or-treat... and, I understand.

Most of us want to know if what we are doing during this pandemic is "right". I know I am. I have a constant steam of questions going through my mind... Should I be working? Is it okay if my kids are still attending daycare? Should we be disrobing in the garage? Can I go to the grocery store? Can my kids play...

It Takes 2 with Jack & Amy (2015-2018) 5 years ago I took the intimidating leap from show producer to show host on KFGO radio. And, it wasn't going to be any radio show... It was a collaboration of 2 generations: a millennial and a boomer (or a legendary, veteran host and a newbie). We couldn't find another radio s...

RADIO I'm in radio, so it's obvious I don't think radio is "dying". (I will save you the long diatribe.) But, sometimes, it's easy to question... with all these news apps, streaming services and devices, are kids still listening to the radio? Well, they are. And, when I ran across this viral TikTok... I thoug...

I remember reading a study a few years ago that said employees are happier when they are looking forward to a vacation than when they get back. And, it sort of makes sense... part of the fun is the anticipation, planning and...
