If you’ve found your way here, welcome!
I’m Amie- a registered nurse with 15 years’ experience, a U.S. Navy veteran Hospital Corpsman for 7 years, mom of 3 growing young adults, 2 boys 18 and 20 and a girl 12 going on 22, DIY enthusiast, photographer, dog lover, and lifelong learner. Like many people, I’ve worn a lot of hats over the years, and each experience has taught me something valuable.
Over the years, Ive discovered that some of life’s most valuable lessons don’t come from a textbook- they come from rolling up your sleeves, solving problems, and refusing to give up when things get difficult.
I created The Resourceful Trunk because I believe the best ideas are the practical ones- the kind that make everyday life a little easier and a little more enjoyable.
Why “The Resourceful Trunk”?
The trunk of a tree represents strength, stability, and growth.
Those are qualities that have shaped my life- from serving in the Navy, to raising little humans, to caring for patients and their families as a nurse, to tackling home improvements as a single mom, and finding budget friendly practical ways to get it done.
Life has taught me that being resourceful isn’t about knowing everything. It’s about being willing to learn, adapt, solve problems, and share what works with others.
That’s what this website is all about.

My Promise
I won’t pretend to have all the answers.
What I will do is share honest experiences, practical solutions, and ideas that i genuinely believe can help make life a little better.
If something saves me time, money, or frustration, you’ll probably read about it here.
I believe everyone is more capable than they realize. Sometimes all we need is the confidence to try something new, the willingness to keep learning, and a little encouragement along the way. If this website helps you feel more confident tackling your next project, or improving your everyday life, then it’s doing exactly what i hoped it would.
