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.

#22 Dress up for Comic Con

DateWednesday, June 18, 2014 at 01:07PM

Last Friday, I took Asher and Micah to the Denver Comic Con and we had a blast...definitely want to go again next year! As per the boys' requests, we dressed up...as Thor, Frigga and Loki. (For those unfamiliar with the storyline, Thor's the big brother, Loki's the mischief maker little brother and Frigga is their awesome mom.)

We opted to forego wigs, as they were itchy and hot, lol. People still figured it out, though. I'm not even exaggerating when I say that at least two dozen people stopped us to ask if they could take the boys' picture. And a couple people even immediately recognized who I was supposed to be (before I added the name tag!).

And that was #22 on my list. :)

More Comic Con pictures and stories coming soon!
