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.

Santa

DateThursday, December 20, 2012 at 09:50AM

Took the boys to see Santa Tuesday...

Yeah. It's probably the last year I get Noah in the picture. ;) I made a deal with him this year...he didn't have to talk to Santa, just be in the picture. (His other option was for me to embarrass him horribly for the coming years by posing him with Santa over and over again or in front of crowds, lol.)

Sorry, btw, that it's been so quiet here on the blog lately. We've been busy enjoying the season and checking off our to-do lists and still participating in our many activities. Rest assured, though, that we're in full holiday swing here...all our holiday cards have been mailed, packages have been shipped, shopping is done, tree is up and decorated, elf continues to move around the house, advent calendars are being followed, Papa candy is being given out, cookies are planned for Santa and everything else. ;) We just haven't been taking many pictures. Sorry. ;)
