HELLO

Hi. I'm Amanda...a happy wife and mom to three awesome guys. We've lived here in Fort Collins for more than 20 years and are proud to call it home. Before moving to CO, I worked at a city attorney's office, making use of my law and Master's degrees from Duke. After settling in Fort Collins, I homeschooled my three (now teenage and older) sons and was delighted to experience music classes, soccer, karate, swim team, archery, Science Olympiad, First Lego League, parkour, and climbing (not all at the same time!). From 2005-10, I was also a contributing editor for a national scrapbooking magazine, authoring a book and a couple of monthly columns. From 2009-10, I founded and ran the Good Grief Blog. I enjoy learning new things, spending time with my family, volunteering with The Matthews House, traveling and indoor rock climbing.

Yesterday.

Yesterday, Wednesday, we awoke to snow...finally. Normally, we've had snow days already by this point but October and November were strangely warmer this year. So, we were pretty happy with the view out our window yesterday:

We'll be heading out into it later today...yes, I'll take some pictures. :) (Wish me luck in not going crazy bundling and unbundling them all, though! LOL!)

Also, yesterday (or really late Tuesday night), we got our ornament trees set up. I had some that I'd intended to use but upon further inspection November 30, that didn't work. So, the boys picked some new ones Tuesday night and I was a softy and let them also pick their own tree toppers and tree skirts. Here's what our fireplace looks like:

Yes, they each have more than four ornaments on their trees. And, actually, this picture was taken yesterday so that would have been after day 3 of our ornament making. But they wanted to include the ornaments they made at our ornament co-op a couple weeks ago and, as mentioned, some days we've ended up making more than one ornament already. :)

So. I'll take pictures of the ornaments we made yesterday and post those along with the other individual ornament pics and the snow pics I'll take later today, okay? Hopefully I'll have that up tonight. Whew.
