{#MIMM #9} Winning

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…

{WIAW #50} Blackberry Phone Food

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?…

Hello Friends!

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…

Happy 50th Birthday (Grand)Mama Sue

December 11, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt
