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)

Blogging 101: Getting Real with Heather from Kiss My Broccoli

October 25, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

I have another lovely friend to share for you from my Blogging 101 series! I sent a long list of questions out to some bloggers I admire in hopes of getting some good discussions and information going. I have not been disappointed so far! Heather is a super passionate blogger who makes me laugh and drool over her food every time I visit her lovely space on the internet. I’m so happy I’ve gotten to hang out with her a couple of times! Enjoy her lovely post!

What Do YOU Think

October 23, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Okay friends, the blog is working woohoo! I am beyond thrilled that everything ended up working out! I won’t lie to you all, I did have a few brief moments of panic and I did break down into tears on Friday when we couldn’t get my blog redirected (none of my pinterest pins wouldn’t link…

Changes…

October 11, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hey friends! I just wanted to let you know that the blog is going to be undergoing some changes this weekend! I was very inspired at the Healthy Living Summit to get serious and go self-hosted (and move to WordPress…eek!). I did not trust myself to make the switch since I am quite un-savy when…

A Marvelous Weekend of Learning at #HLS13

September 30, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

If you follow me on Instagram, you might have noticed I was quite busy this weekend. Two weddings back in Nebraska, a rehearsal dinner (on the night of the first wedding..a lot of driving that night) AND we celebrated my brother’s 21st birthday. I’m glad I wrote this post up last week since I am…

September 20, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Since I’m still trying to formulate my Healthy Living Summit recaps (here’s the jumble of my feelings or an un-recap of the weekend if you will as well as what I ate in Minneapolis here), and since I’m unexpectedly heading back to Omaha this weekend (!!!), I’m delighted that I have on of my best…

A Healthy Living Summit Un-Recap

September 17, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

If you’re a blogger like me, you probably write posts in your head. They sound eloquent and informative; intriguing and entertaining. These posts written on the pages of our brain as we fall asleep or dawdle in the shower or while going for a run are so exciting we just can’t wait to actually get…

Blogging 101: Tips from The Chimes

September 5, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

I cannot tell you how amazing the blogging community is. A little over a year ago, I didn’t even know some of my current best friends. One of these best friends includes Calee, whom I met at Blend Retreat last year (although we really only started talking after). Calee is helping me discuss more Blogging…
