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.

Laundry room.

Just so you know, amid the bike crash and everything else last weekend, Nathan put up shelves in our laundry room so that we could rearrange things and make room for our growing collection of archery gear. Before the shelves, we had bow cases scattered around the house and were thinking of storing them in the basement. Then we decided to just stack them in the laundry room so boys wouldn't have to lug them up the stairs and through the house (hitting walls as they went).

(The laundry room, btw, is nearest the door to the garage but was occupied with the vacuum and steam cleaner. We figured that we lug the bow cases out of the house twice a week and only get the vacuum cleaner out once a month or so, LOL, so moved the vacuum stuff to the basement instead of the bow cases).

Anyhow, stuff "fit" in the laundry room but was inconvenient...had to take everything out if you wanted anything out. And. Nathan's case is significantly bigger and heavier than the rest of ours and was in my way any time I did laundry. So, here's what we did:

Sorry. I couldn't manage to get the whole shot vertically in a single picture...so the left shows the floor up and the right shows the ceiling down. Nathan's case is way up there on top. The boys each have a spot on the bottom. My stuff (the lightest and smallest) is on the actual shelf there in the middle.

Whew...so much better. ;) Who knew archery gear would take up so much room? :)
