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.

It's the little things

I have a sweet tooth. Not even gonna try to deny or hide that, lol. So, I was delighted when my lovely husband brought me this baggie of Jelly Bellies recently after a particular craving and whining session. 

I was even happier when I saw on the guide on the back that they'd changed the color of the buttered popcorn flavored bean to make them easier to find. I hate those things. ;P 

But. My happiness was dashed when I discovered that the buttered popcorn beans hadn't actually changed. They're still white with yellow dots...just white enough to often trick me into thinking they're coconut. Argh! On top of that, they added a caramel corn flavor, which is almost equally yucky.

So. I had my little guinea pig (aka Micah) make sure I had all the evil beans isolated and tossed those suckers. Take that! ;)
