February 11, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

 Happy Monday! It’s another Marvelous Monday!  Mondays tend to be a weekend recap as of late, so here was my weekend! Dave (the BF) and I had another fun-food-filled weekend back in my home town.  (It’s so weird that I don’t live there anymore!  25 years of my life and I have to visit my…

January 2, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! Yes, I still have a Blackberry phone.  I just can’t seem to get into the touchscreen typing.  It drives me nuts getting wrong words from people because of their phones.  Although I would like some of the cool phone features…can we please come out with a slide-out keyboard for the iphone or Android?…

Look for the Helpers + Baby Snuggles

December 16, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Dear Friends, How ironic is it that I was complaining about not being a mom in my post yesterday, when I found a very good reason to be thankful I don’t have to worry about my children just yet.  I, like many of you, am still trying to process the tragedy of yesterday.  If you…
