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.

Like a toddler with a box...

A package arrived this morning from my mom...with Omaha steaks to feed our starving teen and chocolate cakes to make the younger two squeal. :) In putting everything away into the freezer, though, the jewel of the gift was discovered...dry ice:

Yup. Nathan was as happy as those boys...dropping the dry ice pieces into a pan of water and commencing to play for the next half hour or so...blowing it, freaking Micah out, ladling it onto Asher's head... (I'm counting it as an impromptu science lesson, lol.)

Nothing like the packaging to make one's day. :) Thanks, mom!
