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.

This week's quote:

Continuous improvement is better than delayed perfection. –Mark Twain

Man. It’s like Mark Twain was talking directly to me. I know that I get hung up often times on planning…wanting to get things just right before actually acting on them…waiting for some magic sign before moving forward. I know, too, though, that many times just getting started and doing what I can is better. It’s considerably easier to refine something that’s in progress than it is to improve upon something that doesn’t yet exist. :)
