Amy Walsh
Hi all!! Thanks for reading. I was born and raised in Michigan where I met my main squeeze & married him after 4 years of dating. We moved to Destin in 1997, then to Miramar Beach then to Santa Rosa Beach where we currently live.
We have 2 great kids; one in high school and one in college.
I run a non profit (Fore Her) in Santa Rosa Beach; work in an office in Destin part time and spend free time with my main squeeze, our daughter & son (when he's in town), and my great group of friends who help me navigate motherhood with no judgement because honestly I am not a perfect mom and need all the help I can get.
