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.

Pictures and news...

Okay, I haven't been the most regular blogger of late. I have an excuse. It's a doozy of a good one. Ready? I'm writing a book! Yup, Creating Keepsakes asked me to author a book that will release in January 2008!!! So. I'm working on heaps of new layouts and projects right now...can't share them obviously and can't share pictures that will go on those layouts...hence, the lack of pictures here lately. Sorry. But, I'm stinkin' excited and hope you will be too!

So, I know I promised pictures from our Fourth but I'm going to have to break that promise. Trust me, they're awesome and are going to make a spectacular layout. :) To make up for it, here are some pictures of late...just random shots of the boys over the past week or two...enjoy...
