Enjoying Outdoor Running

September 8, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! The thing I love about running outside is the scenery. Duh. I live in a neighborhood with a gazillion houses all smooshed together, but just outside of it, you can find nature…other than the yellowed lawns and potted plants.

{Vegetarian Curious #7} Vegan with Benefits

September 6, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! Here’s a post from Miss Sarah on the topic of {Vegetarian Curious}, which is what I am!  I met her at Blend and immediately loved her boldness in jumping into a group of girls, making a joke, and passing out her business cards.  We later went on a trip to the local farmer’s…

The Part-time Job Rant

September 4, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! I tend to avoid the blog when I’m in a particularly bad mood.  I am one of those people that gets down and depressed sometimes and try to not be a debbie-downer in the blog world (especially since I already complained in my recent Foodie Penpals post and my last WIAW).  This time…

{Vegetarian Curious #6) Heather’s Guest Post

August 30, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! Here is another post from a Blend for my Vegetarian Curious series. I am loving all of this information and the different perspectives.  I am definitely learning a lot and was even able to do a meat-free day of my own (although it wasn’t quite as healthy as most vegetarians seem to be)….
