ramblings + recipes of a semi-healthy nut

Hi! I’m Amanda.

{Thankful Thursday Link-up} #30DaysofThanks

November 8, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Thankful Thursday

March 8, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! I’ve had another challenging day.  I have been dealing with a case of the grumpy-everything-is-stupid-and-why-am-I-always-tired syndrome lately.  I mean I didn’t even do my WIAW post this week due to my stress causing shooting pains in my stomach last night and I am super bummed! Let me tell you, SIX hours of Chemistry…
