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)

Minnesota Bucket List

I moved to the twin cities in June of 2013 and when April of 2014 came around…I still felt like I hadn’t done very much in Minnesota!

Exciting News about Moving to Minnesota+ First Mall of America visit

 

I could blame the crazy winter where I hibernated for about 4 months…but still! I won’t be living here forever, so I want to explore while I can.

So here’s the deal, I made a Minnesota bucket list! Those items that are crossed out I have completed and will include links to the places and/or a post I’ve written about it. Pretty simple, right? I will also include things I’ve already done..possibly to make myself feel better.

(I’m living right on the border of Wisconsin, so I may include some items from there as well.)
