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 morning.

Yawn. Still recuperating from the blast I had all day yesterday at a crop here at my local favorite place (The Treasure Box). I'll post more about that (and maybe even a layout or two once I finish them up) later. For the moment, I just had to share this sweet moment I had with Micah this morning.

I brought Micah downstairs after he woke up. His brothers, uncharacteristically, weren't awake yet (they were all pretty darn tuckered after a long Saturday). Micah looked around and said to me, "me sad. Brothers not up." I indicated that they'd probably be awake soon, particularly given how loud he was talking, lol. He brightened up and said, "Asher me best friend!" How cool is that? :)

That is so sweet. Jane has been calling Kate her best friend for a bit now, and it melts my heart. I hope that it stays that way for a long time.

So cute!

Amanda just wanted to thank you for such a wonderful time! I actually got 15 layouts designed and 4 completed so not too shabby! My credit card took a beating but all is good! Love the Treasure Box and Cheryl! She is the sweetest! Loved making new friends and meeting all the girls! What a talented bunch! Thanks for all the great giveaways and next time you host one of these...I'll bring the Tiara! :)
