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.

Support Flood Recovery

DateWednesday, October 9, 2013 at 09:01AM

I know it's only October and many folks haven't started thinking about Christmas shopping yet. I'm not one of those people, lol. So. I thought I'd just share that I've decided to focus on helping support flood recovery efforts here in Colorado this Christmas...by doing most of my shopping either from businesses directly affected by the floods (such as those in Estes Park, where the winter is going to be a rough one and online shopping will definitely make a difference for them) or from businesses that are supporting recovery efforts in some way. Thought you might want to consider doing the same and figured I'd put it out there so you can let me know if you find any great places that meet these criteria. ;)

Happy shopping!
