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.

Changes...good?

DateWednesday, November 14, 2007 at 03:11AM

Change is inevitable. Or so they tell me. :) A couple random changes on my mind at the moment...

First, Micah is testing his boundaries. The little 2 year old bugger is darn lucky he's so freakin' adorable. He's totally into telling me "no" lately, particularly when I tell him to apologize after hitting his brothers. Ugh. On the plus side, he's also very into puzzles (and doing them *himself*) and putting more and more words together. Does it balance out? I'll let you know.

Second, Creating Keepsakes is getting a new look! The January issue will debut their new cover design and content. Personally, I really like the new look. And I hope ya'll will enjoy the new content. ;)

wow, you guys have been busy over there at CK! Can't wait to check it out. And I hear you with Micah. My three year old still has some issues with it. I find it hard some times to balance their need for "independence" without totally being disrespectful about it. I know it's part of growing up, but geez. Hard to find the line some days.
