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.

Shirts

Once upon a time, carrying on a lovely tradition that my mom started when I was a kid (that I loved!), I got boys Christmas pajamas every year, and they opened them on Christmas Eve and wore them that night.

And then boys got older and decided they didn't like wearing pajamas and didn't want Christmas pajamas.

And I was sad.

But then I decided to tweak the tradition and start getting the boys a shirt that represented each of them and/or their year instead of pajamas. (I'm pretty sure I started this in 2013.)

And this is what we ended up with this year for shirts:

Asher's is Iron Man, whom he still thinks is fabulous. Noah's is from Smite, a computer game that he's spent hours (and hours and hours) playing this past year. And Micah really wanted an ugly Christmas sweater and is seriously thrilled with his vomiting unicorn. :) (It's difficult to tell in this picture, but the unicorn and vomit are both glittery threads so are shiny.)

And now you know. ;)
