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.

"Eats Eye!"

DateSunday, March 9, 2008 at 05:27AM

Take a wild guess what Micah was trying to say when he kept repeating to us, "Eats Eye!" with huge enthusiasm. Yeah, you probably won't guess. We didn't. Noah, fortunately, took pity on us and explained that Micah was saying "More than meets the eye!" (which Micah promptly confirmed). Ah the joys of toddler translation. ;) (Actually, Micah's gotten much clearer and more specific this past month...amazingly so!)

I know I owe you that February Album in a Year layout...it's coming. I flew out to Utah Friday for a meeting at the CK offices (loved seeing everyone again!)...had a nice visit there, was blessed to meet some awesome ladies at lunch (pictures forthcoming...bad scrapper that I am, I didn't take my camera with me but have promises that copies will be sent to me, lol), and then got a tour of the Prism Papers offices (way cool, btw...got to see where they package and cut all the paper and everything!) before flying back home. So, today (technically yesterday I suppose being as I'm writing this post way early Sunday morning) was spent doing laundry and vacuuming and catching up. Will scrap tomorrow. :)
