{MIMM #12} Best Laid Plans + Happy Birthday Sister!

March 18, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! Welp, the weekend sure did not go as I had planned, but I did have fun (and got to see my nephew!!). “And THIS is a CARROT!” The intent was to do my long run Saturday morning with the running group I’m a part of (but haven’t really run with).  I was pretty…

{Fitness Friday #5} Running Confidence

March 16, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! I am not an extremist with…anything really.  Especially with food and fitness.  Balance.  Balance.  Balance. When it comes to workouts, I try to schedule them in my phone, but I make sure to listen to my body. And hey, if I get too busy and skip a workout..it’s all good. (For the most…

Hello Friends! It’s FRIDAY!  I always have mixed feelings about the weekend. In my waitressing/coffee catering days, I worked weekends, so while it was cool to not have school…I still had to get up at 4:30am a lot of Saturdays to work the farmer’s market or work Saturday nights at the wing-n-beer joint.  Now I…

{MIMM #11} At Least I had a Good Weekend?

March 4, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! It’s always something.  Does it seem like that to anyone else? Maybe it’s just one of those challenging phases of life.Where I learn a whole lot about myself and what really matters and how to operate under stress and deal with the loneliness that comes from moving to a new city…. Or maybe…

{Thursday Thoughts} Your Problems, My Problems

March 1, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! Just a little empathy.  That’s all we want right?  When we complain..however dramatic..we really just want someone to say, “Oh that’s crazy!” or “How could she!” I suppose sometimes we want a solution, but a lot of times it feels GOOD to vent!  And to have someone say, “I’m here for you!” or…

{MIMM #10} It’s Monday BUT

February 25, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! Sometimes it takes me a bit to recover from the weekend.  Specifically the sleeping schedule.  I stay up late Sunday evening getting things unpacked (when I go back home..like this weekend) and getting ready for the week…then it takes time to unwind and have my bedtime tea and cereal. As a result, it…

Hello Friends! I know some people get upset when favorites are picked…but in this situation, it’s a good thing! I’ve been doing my Friday Five Foodie Finds for quite some time (check out my first one!).  Since the blog was a little babe and didn’t know how to stand on it’s own, let alone walk. …
