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.

Opening ceremonies

DateSaturday, February 10, 2018 at 12:42PM

So. We've always enjoyed watching the Olympics and generally make time to watch the Opening Ceremonies. This year, inspired by a good friend who actually plans ahead and makes a meal based on the cuisine of the host country, we decided to actually make it into a bit of a celebration. (This was also in part because this year we didn't get to celebrate the Superbowl all together with our annual junk food party, lol.)

But. We didn't figure this all out or get on the ball enough to actually plan a meal based on Korean foods. And we already enjoy bulgogi with some regularity and don't enjoy kimchi, lol. But, according to my email and Facebook page, yesterday was apparently National Pizza Day...which led to this:

That's a cookie cake and a caesar salad on the bottom.

Get it?...

LOL. And that's how we chose to celebrate Opening Ceremonies this year!
