What Can *I* Do? Hurricane Sandy Relief

November 9, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Dear Friends, I live in Nebraska, so although I have seen the devastation of hurricane Sandy on the news…it really doesn’t seem real.  I don’t know anyone there, so I haven’t heard any personal accounts.  It’s almost (almost) easy to pretend that it’s not real…kind of like how I like to ignore most of the…

{Thankful Thursday Link-up} #30DaysofThanks

November 8, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Good Morning Friends! I am not usually an early morning blogger so it’s weird to have to focus on blogging (and quickly so I can get to babysitting!  Okay I did finish this while the babe was napping…) before I’ve even had my peanut butter toast and diet dew. As promised in yesterday’s WIAW post…

How To Counter-Act Negativity #30daysofthanks

November 1, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! I am just gonna say it: I need to show more grattitude.  Like all the time. I have one of those personalities that makes me lean towards the negative side of things.  I can always see what could possibly go wrong in a situation, in any situation really. This can be a good…

{WIAW #44} Happy Halloween

October 31, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

    Hello Friends! Friday was the first time I ever ever carved a pumpkin by myself. Really.  You think I’m joking?  Would you like to make fun of me like the cashier did at HyVee Friday night?   “Any big plans this evening?” cashier says as he is scanning my pumpkin and carving kit….
