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.

Seven on Sunday

DateSunday, May 18, 2014 at 12:12PM

Just some photos to catch up...

1. Photographic evidence that we had snow here on Mother's Day. (Not as much as other places nearby, I'll admit. But it's still snow, people. Course, it's in the 80s and beautiful today, so I suppose I'll forgive Mother Nature. For now.)

2. The big pot of mashed potatoes Noah made last week from scratch and then made me take a picture of. (He then proceeded to "snack" on the entire batch and guarded them well.)

3. Asher receiving his SOAR award last Monday. :)

4. One of Micah's proposed May poses.

5. Micah's other proposed pose. Silly boy!

6. Micah working on his illustrations...

7. The 200 twinkies (yes, that's what they're called by the manufacturer) that we bought yesterday. Will tackle some front yard work next weekend, probably. ;) (They'll be edgers.)

And that's that. :)
