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.

Rainbows in the oddest places.

So, the boys and I were visiting with my good friend, Melissa, yesterday. Between Melissa and I, there are six kids...a six year old, two almost five year olds and three almost two year olds. Yeah. It was busy. ;) While the kids were playing in the backyard, we noticed that they created a rainbow of Crocs when lined up by age. How weird is that? We tried to get them all to actually line up for us, but did you hear the part about a six year old, two almost five year olds and three almost two year olds? In the end, we took off their Crocs and lined them up ourselves then set about taking pictures, of course. (Melissa and I are both signed up for CKU in Anaheim and are taking Ali's A Week in the Life album track so have a LOT of pictures to take.)

So, anyone have any big plans this weekend? I had planned to finally work on a banner heading for this blog but turns out we're going to go camping. Yay! With the boys and life and all, we haven't been camping in ages. True, this particular experience will be cabin-based camping with conveniences like bathrooms and a kitchen, but it's a start. I just cleared off the camera card so that I can take plenty of pictures. Now I need to go pack some stuff! ;) Happy weekend to y'all!
