Diary of a Semi-Health Nut

ramblings + recipes of a semi-healthy nut

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)

Peanutbutter Strawberry Time!

June 14, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! I’m working at my favorite job today…babysitting the twins! The end table–one of their favorite toys!

It’s a Girl! via Cake Pops!

May 27, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends!  It’s a Girl! (No friends, I’m not pregnant.)

The Day Before

May 20, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! Well it’s been tapering week!  (Which to be quite honest…wasn’t all too different from a lot of other weeks in my training for my first ever half marathon.) I only ran a short run once, instead of two short and one long run.  I tried to mostly get some walking in. Sunday: Rest/Eat…
