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)

{WIAW #34} Summer Staples

August 1, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends!   So I wasn’t going to do WIAW, because that would involve visiting other blogs, which I’m temporarily giving up.  I did decide to pop in on Jenn’s WIAW because she told me via Twitter that she had created an ACV concoction that she wouldn’t be sharing until today.  (*sigh* I broke down…

A Few of my Favorite Things

July 28, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! I am updating things around the blog (if you haven’t noticed) in preparation of when I may or may not have zero time to even write posts, much less work on blog design, etc. I’m talking about school in the fall! I have a full load at a university, instead of the community…

Faithful Friday #SheReadsTruth

July 27, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! Dave (the BF) and I were attending a bible study for a few months and loved it.  It gave us a chance to learn (a lot!) from the wise leaders and it was fun to hang out with a smaller group of people (since our church is rather large).  But…. it got cancelled…

July 11, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

 Hello Friends!  Yesterday was a day filled with  fun, food & fitness! Very fitting for this month’s WIAW theme. What is WIAW?  It stands for What I Ate Wednesday.   This is basically a peak into my food (and fitness and fun) life on one day out of the week. It doesn’t have to be the…

New 4th of July Tradition (Hopefully!)

July 5, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! I hope everyone had a safe and fun 4th of July! The BF has been out of town all week so I celebrated without him…and with HIS family.  I felt bad, and missed him, but really I had a great time.  (Sorry Dave!) Tuesday night we went over to his aunt and uncle’s…

July 2, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! Well I feel like I haven’t had a moment to breathe this weekend…although that is probably an exageration.  I am alive, afterall. Friday I was talking on the phone with the BF (who was on his way home!) and I started squealing and saying, “It’s here!  It’s here!” I could see from my…

I Am a Christian

June 29, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! I am a Christian.  Did you know that? I’m not super involved with my church.   I don’t even go to church every single Sunday.  I don’t read the bible every day. I’m not always nice.  I’m not always happy. My life isn’t perfect.  I am not perfect. I don’t share my faith…
