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.

End of year picnic!

DateMonday, June 9, 2008 at 03:28AM

Just a quick note...had our homeschool group "End of Year" picnic earlier today (Sunday). While the weather threatened to disappoint, in the end is was beautiful...sunny with a slight breeze and not too hot. We had a great turnout this year (about 30 kids and their families...a portion of our total group). The kids signed each others' tee shirts, we took a group photo, relay races and games were enjoyed, food was eaten and water balloons were decimated in short order. :) Fun times. Here's one of the many pictures taken...just me and Micah competing to see who could balance these Squidgies on his/her head longest:
