Rolling with the Punches

October 14, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

I spent a lot of time worrying and stressing this weekend even though there were many marvelous things happening. I was somehow blinded by:what I wanted–right then and there,what wasn’t working,cleaning up messes,unanticipated shenanigans late into the night when I had articles due,a blog transfer that isn’t going so smoothly…mainly due to the fact that…

WIAW #80: Voodoo Tacos and Sweet Blueberry Almonds

October 9, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

WIAW #79 Two Weddings and a Birthday

October 2, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Is it really Wednesday?? It has been a crazy few days! This past weekend Dave and I made the 6-7 hour trip back to Omaha, Nebraska. For two weddings and a birthday. Dave was in one of the weddings, so it made the weekend that much busier. Friday night we attended Sam and Claire’s wedding…

{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…

{MIMM #16} Blessed

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…

{MIMM #11} At Least I had a Good Weekend?

March 4, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! It’s always something.  Does it seem like that to anyone else? Maybe it’s just one of those challenging phases of life.Where I learn a whole lot about myself and what really matters and how to operate under stress and deal with the loneliness that comes from moving to a new city…. Or maybe…

{MIMM #10} It’s Monday BUT

February 25, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! Sometimes it takes me a bit to recover from the weekend.  Specifically the sleeping schedule.  I stay up late Sunday evening getting things unpacked (when I go back home..like this weekend) and getting ready for the week…then it takes time to unwind and have my bedtime tea and cereal. As a result, it…

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…

Weekend Fun + Giveaway Teaser

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…
