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.

Four on Friday.

DateFriday, August 23, 2013 at 04:27PM

1. For the record, the soreness from boot camp, for me, sets in about 12 hours later. I was reminded of this on Wednesday and am keeping it in mind today, as we're not yet to the 12 hour mark. ;)

2. Why can my 8 year old almost instantaneously figure out the least common multiple of 60 and 75 in his head but not be able to write a "4"?

3. Methinks they should have a week or month long "camp" for homeschoolers wherein I can send my boys to a public school environment so that they can get an idea of what a typical workload is like because they obviously don't believe me, lol. 

4. Nathan started teaching the boys how to play poker last night. The "poker faces" on the younger two are pretty hilarious. Incidentally, the eight year old cleaned up. ;)
