Sitting on Babies

May 8, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! I would just like to say that I am super excited for this summer because one of my jobs (haha I have 3) is to watch two adorable twins a couple times a week.  (Babysitting…sitting on babies…;-) ) I’ve watched them occasionally in the past couple of months but I get to come…

Clean Out Yo Fridge Nachos

May 8, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! Since I was out of town this weekend getting my booty kicked at Blend Retreat, I had a mostly empty fridge when I got back.  Or the items in the fridge were going bad quickly and needed to be put to use.  No need to waste produce! I decided to throw a bunch…

Blend Retreat in Colorado Kicked my Booty

May 7, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

bootcamp sat in Colorado

Happy Monday Friends!   In case you didn’t catch my last post entitled “Uncomfortable,” I addressed the fact that I was super nervous about attending my first blogging meet-up, Blend 2012. I’m happy to inform you that I did survive the Denver airport.  But now I’m not quite so sure why I was nervous about…

Uncomfortable

May 4, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! This year I’ve had many goals. I made a New Years resolutions board and the whole thing.  I even look at it periodically to see how I’m doing.  Some days it is motivating…others I feel like I could be doing more, pushing myself further.  Conquering the world. Obviously this is me conquering the…

Study Break!

May 1, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

  Happy Tuesday Friends! I have one last final tomorrow and then I am free. Free for the summer. From school, anyways. I am taking a quick study break to process today.  (Although I’m excited to get back to it so I have an excuse to eat my yummy study snack!) That’s the beauty of…

{Running for Newbies} Race Day Etiquette

April 28, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! I am training for my first ever half-marathon May 20th and am super nervous and super excited! I know I could learn more about running and even if you’ve been running awhile, you never really know it all.  So I decided to have some guest posters on the blog to help me (and…

Conservation Fusion–Saving our Earth One Child at a Time

April 27, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! How can I explain to you the passion I see in my friend Susie McGuire for her non-profit organization Conservation Fusion?   Or the amount of work that goes into each project she does?   Or how busy she is?? If you have a moment, I would like to share with you a little about…

Conquering my Mountain

April 26, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! I’ve actually been enjoying my running for the first time ever in my life this month. I’ve had fun doing some interval runs at the hotel. I’ve been experiencing different weather changes…Saturday 60 and super windy, Tuesday 75, humid with no wind.  (Lots of Gatorade is needed in both windy situations and sunny,…

6 Mile Treadmill Interval Run

April 25, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! Running on the treadmill can get boring after awhile…and if you are forced to stay inside due to weather or any other pesky reason (such as it’s not the greatest idea to run alone outside in the dark if you are a 5’2″ lady), then you need to change up your routine. I…

Spicy Turkey Sausage Pasta with Edamame

April 23, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! I got home Friday around 2pm.  Famished. I had just finished with class and driving all around campus trying to find my advisor’s office.  (Yea..I am super bad with directions and I have only been to her office once about a year ago.) I was feeling a bit stressed, trying, as usual, to…
