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.

Baby brother...

DateFriday, March 26, 2010 at 02:16AM

(Thank you so much for the thoughts on garage sales! I think we'll shoot for a Sunday-only sale sometime in April and will let you local folks know in advance.)

Sorry to have gone missing there for a bit. My baby brother was visiting. :) He made his famous sugar cookies with the boys and my niece Makenna (daughter of our other brother, Zach, who lives nearby...both helped frost the cookies)...Joe (my baby brother) is the tall one...Zach's not as tall, LOL...


While he was here, he also got to enjoy our annual spring snow storm, lol. Made him shovel snow with the boys Tuesday night but he also got to play in the sunshine the next day. It was weirdly warm, and Noah and I built a snow whale...


Truly. Even for Colorado, it was weird. Monday was nearly 70 and gorgeous...we made cookies and hung out in the backyard. Tuesday was blustery and around 32 degrees all day...we watched the snow fall from indoors. Wednesday was warm again and sunny...we played in the snow without jackets. So. That's what's been going on this week. Just me and my brothers:


(Was playing with some of The Pioneer Woman's Photoshop actions on this last one...fun!)

Hang tight and I'll bring you the first few days of our vacation shortly, okay?
