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.

Happy Mother's Day!

DateSunday, May 11, 2014 at 07:11PM

Just wanted to send a quick shout out to all the mothers I know and especially my own. You all have shaped and continue to shape the mother I am today, and I thank you. :)

(I don't know the precise date of this but am fairly sure it was taken in 1976 shortly after I was adopted.)

(This one was taken in February of 2012 when my mom was out here visiting.)

Hope you all were celebrated today! No big deal here...just haircuts for boys and laundry and such...and watching the snow fall. (Yeah, Mother Nature didn't get my memo about sunshine, lol.) Nathan and Micah made me pancakes this morning, and Nathan brought me flowers with the grocery shopping, and I got to be mostly lazy and watch some tv...all good. :)
