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 grown) 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.

Sharing...

DateMonday, August 22, 2011 at 09:23AM

Just a few quick links you might appreciate to start off the week:

The first is just a fun list that made me smile. (I can totally relate to a great number of these!)

The second is an awesome freebie that was so thoughtfully shared. (If you use Story of the World for your history curriculum, this is a fantastic find!)

The third is a cool little app that has our household addicted right now. (Fun and even a bit educational, lol...during the weekend you could totally find Nathan's playing it on his iPad and the three boys each playing it on an iphone...yes, we have three (two that function as phones and one that's retired but still runs apps).)

And, finally, if you're local, did you know that your library card can get you sweet deals at local businesses now? I just found this out and am stoked. :)
