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.

Throwback Thursday

DateThursday, August 15, 2024 at 04:12PM

Today's the 17 year anniversary of the day my dad died. I'm thankful every day for the time I had with him and for the example he set. I know the best way to honor his memory is to live a life he'd be proud of and to enjoy his grandkids as he would have wanted to. 

For today's Throwback Thursday, I'll just share this photo of my dad and me from when I was three...

I'll also direct you to this blog post I shared on the 10 year anniversary of his death...with 10 layouts about him. 

Miss you and love you, Dad!
