Hi! I’m Amanda.

I’m a writer, chocolate chip cookie baker, blog designer, power walker, Instagram fiend, peanut butter toast lover and copious coffee drinker living in Nebraska with my husband and three cats. (also a fan of a good run-on sentence)

Pumpkin Patching in Nebraska

October 24, 2014 by Amanda R DeWitt

nebraska via @semihealthnut at semihealthyblog.com

I got to go back to Nebraska a couple of weeks ago like I talked about in my Thin Mint Cookie Pie post! I feel like we go back a lot..maybe a lot more than most people who live away from home do. I think both Dave and I miss our family a whole lot and can’t wait to move back. I wanted to share a little recap to a. show you all my yummy eats, b. show you some Valas Pumpkin Patch (and cute nephew) pictures and lastly c. brag about my run.

Happy Birthday to My “Little” Sister

July 30, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

I can’t believe my baby sister is turning 13 years old today.   I am now twice as old as her.  So weird. We got to celebrate last night since Dave and I are in Nebraska for the week.  Much craziness ensued. I already had other younger siblings but for some reason, I wanted another one. …

{WIAW #72} Current Confessions

July 17, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! I have a confession to make.  Well, I have a lot of confessions I should probably make…like the fact that sometimes I make cookies solely to eat all the dough left in the bowl.  That’s pretty normal though, right? I should also confess that in three days I had Starbucks three times.  Once…

{MIMM #17} Whirlwind

May 6, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! Not only did I survive this crazy busy weekend…I survived running 13.1 miles in the chilly 40 degree weather.  Yes, it is May, but it felt more like a frigid February.  That’s the midwest for ya though!  For example,  last Sunday I ran 10 miles in 70 degree weather and got a little…

April 22, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends!    I am sitting here in my dad’s basement Sunday evening at 11pm, very exhausted, waiting for my laundry to be done and thinking how blessed I am.  And how seldom I believe myself to be so. I got to head to my hometown where I was surrounded by people all weekend. While…
