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.

Five on Friday

DateFriday, June 20, 2014 at 11:20AM

Taking a break from the Comic Con posts (which are *almost* done, promise!)...just five other random things in my head:

  1. I find it hilarious that Noah is bothered by the fact that our silverware drawer isn't organized "properly." He'll deny it, but he's mentioned it to me on more than one occasion lately. He thinks the spoons should be on the right and the forks on the left, as they are when you set a table. ;) (Nevermind the fact that we rarely set a proper table...) Being as Micah is in charge of putting away the silverware, though, we'll apparently leave things as they are. :)
  2. Asher was texting a friend the other day and suddenly asked the room at large, "What the heck is colon capital P?" :P
  3. Micah's been projecting his troublemaking on Koaly of late...blaming all sorts of things on him and having him get into trouble. Needless to say, Koaly's been receiving a good bit of instruction and disciplining lately. ;)
  4. If you happen to see Nathan these days, he's switched to contacts...after losing his glasses in the Pacific while in Hawaii for work last week, lol.
  5. We're *this* close to finishing up our academic year! (Just one (light) week to go...) Soooooo excited for having July off!

Happy weekend to y'all!
