Amy O'Connell

I am the wife to LifeTeen filmmaker Ryan O'Connell and mother to our identical twin girls, Clairvaux & Adelaide. I like to write about my life and growth as a new mom. When I'm not wrangling two babies or writing, I like to frequent wine cafes, watch comedies on Netflix, and reward myself with chocolate for even the smallest of accomplishments. Fun fact: one time in high school I was voted homecoming queen of a school I didn't attend. Follow me on Instagram: @amyoconn.

I Can Give Him my Heart

I see openness. I see God unveiled. I see a heart aching to reach mine. I see arms stretched out as though to embrace.
