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 sigh

We've been having such lovely weather here lately. I know that it's only February and that it won't last. But. I'm appreciating it while I can. :) Earlier this week I even noticed this in my front yard...

The sprouts are from some of the bulbs we planted last fall. I'm pretty sure these are the Rip Van Winkle daffodils. I'm hoping the forecast snow next week doesn't do too much damage...

In the meantime, like the new growth in my yard, I'll just soak up the sunshine. :)
