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.

Random thoughts...

DateWednesday, March 7, 2012 at 12:04PM

Am I the only one who's paranoid about geese flying overhead? After all the goose poop on the road and sidewalk that I dodge while running, I figure being caught under a flock of them is potentially pretty bad. (Yes, this is one of those weird things I think about while I'm out running...)

Is it wrong that I "trick" the boys into doing spelling when I give them a custom word search with their spelling words?

Why doesn't someone come up with a better way to bag flour? Seriously. Opening those suckers up and trying to transfer the flour to a canister is ridiculous. I can't be the only person to complain about this, right?

Awhile back, Nathan was making me some eggs and hurriedly called me over to see the map of the US that he'd created:

Eerie, don't you think?

That was all. Suppose I'll admit that I'm procrastinating now and head back to working on stuff for the science fair... ;)
