HEAR ME ROAR - Featuring Amy Roloff
Star of her TV documentary show 'Little People, BIG World' began in 2006. Shortly after that, Amy published her first book:
Short and Simple Family Recipes. After graduating from Central Michigan University, Amy worked in the high-tech world of Silicon Valley, taught early childhood education, married and raised four children including twins. This busy experienced stay at home mom is also the owner of a beautiful farm that hosts weddings.
In 2009, she founded the

Tesla - Tips for Saving Money Around the House
Plant deciduous trees in front of east, south, and west facing windows. The trees provide shade in summer and can cool the house by as much as 20 degrees. In winter, the leaves will be gone, allowing the sun to provide a natural heat source and keep heating costs down.
