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.

Four on Friday...

DateFriday, June 4, 2010 at 11:43AM

1. My layout is up on the Good Grief Blog today. This is one of my favorites thus far...not so much because of the design or anything...just enjoyed how nicely the journaling came to me.

2. Noah's soccer tournament starts this afternoon so don't expect to see me online much tonight or tomorrow. ;) (Happy thoughts for *not* sweltering or windy weather would be appreciated, lol.)

3. I'm thinking I'm going to start a little series of homeschool resource blog posts next week. Have had a number of people lately asking me what I've found works and would also like to just document it somewhere for my own records.

4. If anyone has any good "thanks for being an awesome coach" type quotes, I'd love to hear them! (Sooner rather than later would be dandy for this procrastinator, LOL!)

Okay, off to finish up math and spelling, the laundry, picking up the milk for the week, and getting ready for the tournament... ;)
