About Amy Gulli

I'm Amy Gulli, the day metro editor at the York Daily Record/Sunday News. When I'm not at work -- or driving to or from work on my 45-minute commute -- I'm mom to two wonderful kids: Samantha, 8, and Noah, 3. OK, I'm their mom while I'm at work, too.

Sweet, sweet time off

Posted on August 29, 2011 by Amy Gulli

Wanna know why you haven’t heard from me? Because I was napping. And watching TV. And petting the dog. And petting the cat. And lounging in my pajamas. And spending time in the bathroom all by myself. I, dear folks, … Continue reading →

Channelling Jim Carrey

Posted on August 8, 2011 by Amy Gulli

Who taught my 3-year-old how to talk out his butt? I’m not being facetious here or using a derogatory expression. I mean he figured out how to make it look like his butt is talking. While running around the house … Continue reading →

Dear World

Posted on July 20, 2011 by Amy Gulli

Dear World, Please stop so I can get off for a while. Not forever. Just for a little bit. Like, maybe somewhere between 20 minutes and 60 days. Thanks, Amy

I heart Dean Koontz

Posted on July 18, 2011 by Amy Gulli

I borrowed a copy of Dean Koontz’s new book, “What the Night Knows,” when the kids and I went to the library last week. And I’m addicted. It’s scaring the pants off me. I can’t put it down. I’ve even … Continue reading →

Camping out — NOT

Posted on July 5, 2011 by Amy Gulli

We set up a ginormous tent (that we had completely forgotten we owned) in our backyard this weekend for our first-ever Gulli family camp-out. I live along a creek that runs out of state gamelands, so we had a beautiful … Continue reading →
