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.

Father's Day

DateSunday, June 15, 2014 at 12:46PM

Thank you, Nathan, for being a true partner in this crazy parenting ride...

  • for taking care of all the science questions, 
  • for handling most boy-specific things, 
  • for bringing home the bacon (both literally and figuratively, lol), 
  • for providing the genetic possibility that the boys won't be too horribly short, 
  • for taking a different boy grocery shopping with you each week (to share one-on-one time and to demonstrate sharing domestic chores), 
  • for having the same priorities, 
  • for taking the time to go to boys' events whenever possible, 
  • and for all the other stuff I'm not listing here. ;)

(Here are my guys in Estes Park playing our traditional round of Father's Day miniature golf.)

Love you, Nathan!

Happy Father's Day all around!
