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.

Superheroes.

Wouldn't it be cool if we all could be superheroes? The boys were randomly talking about what super powers they would want today at lunch. Take a guess at what they decided (having limited themselves and saying each could only pick one power). Go ahead, guess.

Give up? Asher decided his super power (for today anyhow) would be to be able to find all the villains. Noah's super power would be the ability to change "bads" (villains) into "goods" (good guys). Is it just me or does that sound like a perfect duo? :) I know I'm reading way more into it than is there, but I'm pretty proud of these choices. Very cool. (Of course, they then proceeded to deem the houseflies that are driving us crazy (a few got inside somehow) as the villains and romped around the house trying to convert them! Boys.)

So...what would *your* super power be? (Really. I'm curious!) 

Oh, also, Prism Papers has a new blog. (I've also linked it up in my "Cool Stuff" page over there on the left.) You should check it out...they're up to some seriously funny and some seriously cool stuff over there. I've been privileged to work with them as part of their design team since the start of the year and must tell you that they've been wonderful to work with...of course, I don't get to enjoy their office antics but I suppose I'll settle for getting to play with all their yummy cardstock!

Mine would be bilocation -- then I could be with you, Nathan and the boys and here at the same time!

Hmmmmm...good one! I think I would have the power to add three more hours into my day...but only for me--for everyone else, just the regular 24 hours. Or maybe the power to conjure chocolate from thin air. Or maybe I will just settle for the power to know how to get my little one to get onto the bus without having him cry the saddest tears ever.
