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.

Five on Friday

DateFriday, October 9, 2009 at 07:00AM

1. Pretty sure my project will be going up over on the Prism blog today...here's a peek:


2. Don't forget about the Good Grief Blog challenge deadline tomorrow! Check out the current challenge here.

3. With only 77 more days till Christmas, starting to think about advent calendars and gift tags. Loving the new stuff in the Ormolu etsy shop!!

4. But. It's not Christmas yet and we're headed for a corn maze and pumpkin patch this afternoon (supposed to be a break in the snow just for us, lol...actually, we didn't get much of any accumulation of the fluffy white stuff, though it's supposed to happen again tomorrow). Will share pictures eventually. ;)

5. Hoping to update over the weekend about my trip to Seattle and other things that have gone un-blogged due to lack of time. ;)

Yeah, not so exciting, I know. But at least I shared... ;)
