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.

Happy Cakes!

Just a quick picture from yesterday...was called upon for some impromptu girlfriend time with two of my best friends (have known Melissa and Molly since undergrad and am so glad that we all ended up here in Colorado)...

We gathered at my pal Molly's place and then did lunch, window shopping and dessert. ;) The first part of our dessert was stopping at Happy Cakes and each getting a cupcake. Just outside, I realized that their purple brick wall would be a great place to take a picture, so here we are, holding our bags with our cupcakes. (Yes, you may bow down to our patience...we took them to go in those little bags and didn't actually eat them until later, lol.)

For the record, we contemplated taking a jumping picture (scroll down) since it was such an awesome wall, but I wasn't confident that I could land in the wedge sandals that I was wearing without twisting something, LOL. 

After that, we headed to Little Man Ice Cream and enjoyed some delicious ice cream yumminess before going back to Molly's for some good girl talk. ;) Happy day!

Looks like a great way to spend a Saturday. Wish I could have joined you!

Hi Amanda, I've been following your blog for a while. I'm a fellow scrapbooker, homeschooler and mom of three boys, so I always enjoy hearing about the things you guys do. A while back you posted about an umbrella/ tent thing you got from Sam's Club for use at the beach and soccer games. I would love to know the brand of yours. I've been trying to track something like that down with no luck. And no Sam's Club around here. Any help you can give would be great. Thanks!
