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.

Father's Day

DateMonday, June 17, 2019 at 10:53AM

I'm a day late (was busy actually celebrating it yesterday) but wanted to wish a very happy Father's Day to the dads in my life...

Here's me with my dad when I was one or two:

And here's probably the first picture I have of me and my father-in-law (before he was my father-in-law, obviously, as this is my high school graduation...honestly, I'd forgotten we took this picture but was delighted to find it at my mom's house earlier this year):

And, of course, a happy Father's Day to my fabulous husband! Our father/sons mini golf tradition seems to have gone by the wayside sadly but we still managed to have a great time yesterday. First, we went to see the new Men In Black movie...then to lunch up in Old Town...then rock climbing:

...before heading home for some family Netflix binging, hammock time for Nathan, and a yummy dinner before getting ready for the coming week. 

Big thanks, to all you dads, for everything you do and for the example you set!! So blessed to have these three in my life. :)
