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.

This kid...

DateSaturday, January 12, 2008 at 04:55AM

I don't have a favorite. Really I don't. But this kid is by far my favorite two year old at the moment:

He stinkin' cracks me up continually. Today, among other crazy things, the kid confiscated his big brother's socks to make hand puppets and hold a little show. Yes, he's naked (though he does at least keep his diaper on, thank goodness). He's taken to that lately...mostly, I think, because he's so happy with his new ability to undress himself on his own (before this, his cute round belly prevented him from really getting to his pants enough to pull them down).

Seriously. How cute is he?! So...anyone have any good tips on making actual sock puppets? ;)

Um - I think he has it down! Maybe just add button eyes and perhaps a felt tongue?
