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.

Atlatl

Not much to report here. Just keeping on, keeping on. ;) Schoolwork and archery and gymnastics and karate...nothing much new.

But. Yesterday, when I took Noah and Micah to the archery range to practice, there was a lovely gentleman trying to persuade RMA that atlatls are worth the time. He was letting anyone who wanted try it out. Micah, of course, thought this was awesome and jumped right in. :) I can't figure out how to load the video from my phone here but this is a screenshot:

He was pretty stoked. :)
