Butter Vs Margarine–What Do YOU Think?

August 28, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

I made some M+M blondies last night FULL of butter. I will admit it nearly stopped my heart putting in a stick and a half of the stuff, but they are an amazing treat (I will share the recipe soon!) I also use margarine for spreading on toast on occasion. As is the usual tone…

A Visit to The Chive (a dose of snark in poem form)

August 16, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

a visit to the chive a healthy dose of poetic snark

I’ve been thinking about a way to write about this all week, and this is what I came up with.  I’m sorry if you like the Chive, I too was a fan…until I actually went to the site.    This girl will no longer “chive on.” A Visit to the Chive Adapted (sort of) from…

{WIAW #72} Current Confessions

July 17, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! I have a confession to make.  Well, I have a lot of confessions I should probably make…like the fact that sometimes I make cookies solely to eat all the dough left in the bowl.  That’s pretty normal though, right? I should also confess that in three days I had Starbucks three times.  Once…

{Thursday Thoughts} Religiocity: Part 2

June 20, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends!   Recently I’ve been wrestling with what I believe…religion-wise.  My faith in God and my savior will never waiver, however some of the religious details are a little fuzzy and often up for debate. I wrote my first “Religiocity” post when I was a little more emotional about moving in with Dave because…

{Thursday Thoughts} Religiocity: Part 1

June 13, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! I am now living with my adorable boyfriend, Dave.  While I’ve already written a post about my reasons/thoughts on this, I have still been faced with opposition, in particular, from Christians.  Who believe they know what’s right for us.  And that we don’t. ———- Early warning: these are MY opinions and feelings.  Some…

{MIMM #15} Birthday {Giveaway} + Chobani Freezing Tips

April 8, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! Well, the KC trip went a little differently than I had imagined to say the least.  It was fun, yes.  It was also rough.  I was kind of a train wreck of emotions the past five days to tell you the absolute truth. After the chaos of packing and getting the apartment cleaned…

{Thursday Thoughts} On Steubenville

March 21, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

Okay this topic is pretty uncomfortable to talk about, not to mention the fact that I try not to talk about controversial topics on the blog…why?  Who knows.  Maybe I don’t have the energy to defend my side and maybe I just want everyone to like me, or not have someone be turned off from…

March 18, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt
