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.

The light at the end of the tunnel...

In case you were wondering, life around here is finally starting to seem more do-able, lol. That doesn't really come out sounding right. :) What I mean to say is that this weekend is the last weekend of the official soccer season, so I'm looking forward to recapturing those 10 hours or so of each week. (Let's not pay attention to the fact that Noah and Asher's teams opted to do the fall tournament and, thus, we'll have just one more week of soccer past this present one, okay?)

Anyhow. I need to pick up pictures today (I've volunteered four of the five seasons so far to take team and individual photos for the boys' teams...I make up an 8x10 sheet like those that you can buy (that are ugly) with the team and individual pic on them for each boy (yay for digital scrapbooking!) and also end up printing off a handful of candids of each boy from throughout the season...just can't seem to stop myself). We have Micah's team party tomorrow (so I'll be finishing up cupcake toppers today), then both other boys' parties after their games on Saturday (so will be picking up more cupcakes then). And stuff like that. 

In the meantime (while I get giddy thinking about the end of soccer season, lol), I happen to be the "featured" designer both on the Prism blog and the Good Grief Blog today. Check it out, okay? Here's a sneak of the Prism layout:

 
(Really happy with how this one came out, btw!) 

Okay, that's it for now. :)
