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.

Thursday thoughts...

1. Yes, we're still covered in snow with single digit temperatures here. Make of that what you will.

2. Question: How do you get your comforter to stay evenly distributed inside a duvet cover? Seriously, I'm thinking about just sewing the darn thing together. ;)

3. Very proud of myself for buying winter boots for this year for Asher *last* year. Didn't have to go hunting up new boots in the stream of others doing the same thing with the first snowfall this year. Yay, me! (Bumped Asher to those and Micah to Asher's old ones. Hoping that the ones we bought Noah last year still fit, as we bought them deliberately too big. He stubbornly insists he doesn't need snow boots, so we haven't tried lately, lol.)

4. Course, simultaneously, I somehow neglected to register Noah for this weekend's JOAD tournament. I registered Micah just fine weeks ago and must have gotten distracted. Went to clarify the check-in time earlier this week and discovered my error. Lovely. Mom fail. ;) Fortunately, thanks to this weather, enough people are dropping out that we were able to snag him a place at the last minute. Whew.

Answer to Question 2 about your duvet cover: Padded Comforter Clips. You clip the comforter and duvet together at each corner, or if you have problems with shifting, you can add one clip along each side.
