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.

For this week:

I don’t know if the optimists or the pessimists are right. But the optimists are going to get something done. –Craig Venter

I am an optimist. Definitely. Sometimes, though, I get stalled in the allure of inactivity and doubt. At times like that, I need a quote like this…a kick in the behind…to get me going again.

I think I am a perky pessimist. Or maybe an optimist with a dark imagination. But I like the alliterative qualities of the first one:)
