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.

I don't want to know

DateSaturday, July 30, 2016 at 10:33PM

I'm thinking I'm going to need to do a(nother) unit on nutrition this fall. If Micah's going to continue cooking as much as he is (which is fabulous), we're going to need to talk about how to make recipes healthier. ;)

But. For his birthday, I'm just living in intentional ignorance and not thinking about how many calories were consumed in the eggs benedict, chicken parmesan and butterbeer cake the boy made (plus we went out to lunch, though that was pretty healthy), lol.

Here's a quick shot of Micah and his cake and candles (they're supposed to make "11"): 

He used this recipe and it was DELICIOUS.

And now I must go start the dishwasher for the third time today and then fall into my sugar coma. ;)
