Aunt Amanda

December 7, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! Today I had the day off from babysitting, so I had planned on working on my Nutrition paper ALL DAY LONG. Just one day to type it all out, get the rest of the facts I wanted and then I would have Friday and Saturday to edit.  It’s due Sunday (originally I flipped…

One of THOSE Days

November 28, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! Today has been…well interesting. I had the “day off.”  So of course I had a to-do list!! It involved going to the city where I go to school (is it weird that I still don’t want to disclose that personal of information on my blog??), which is an hour away.  The reason for…

Being Thankful…Even in Tough Situations

November 26, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! Today I am thankful for the police force keeping our streets safe.   Unfortunately, I was the one being unsafe on the interstate…speeding to church. The irony is not lost on me, friends.    It’s so silly…I was blow drying my hair, which I never do.  And my hair takes FOR-E-VER to blow dry…but…

Hello Friends! I took a surprisingly small amount of photos this holiday….okay I took some, but seriously, remember last Thanksgiving??  Lots of pictures…like this sweet one!

{Thankful Thursday Link-up #3} #30daysofthanks

November 22, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! I’ve surprisingly kept up with this challenge.  Surprising because I keep almost forgetting about it…which kind of defeats the purpose of meditating all day on the thing I’m thankful for…but I think focusing on the good at all is a step in the right direction!  Getting my natural cynicism to turn around to…

{Recipe Round-Up} What to Take to Thanksgiving

November 21, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

 Hello Friends! Are you a host or an invader? This is the question I overheard someone asking at school the other day while talking about Thanksgiving break.  I’m assuming it was a cheeky way of saying “Are you having people over for Thanksgiving or going over to someone else’s house?” If you are a host,…
