THE NITTY GRITTY
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.

Maker Faire

DateTuesday, October 8, 2013 at 09:28AM

Saturday, we went with some friends to the NoCo Mini Maker Faire in Loveland and had a pretty good time seeing the many displays and learning about a number of cool things in our own backyard that we weren't aware of. The younger boys, in particular, though, loved seeing a life-size R2D2 (there were multiple R2D2s throughout the fair):

And the Star Wars land cruiser:

Yup. Fun times. :)

(PS The older boys also enjoyed themselves and truly were there...they were just much better at avoiding the camera, lol.)
