Being Thankful…Even in Tough Situations

November 26, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

{Thankful Thursday Link-up #3} #30daysofthanks

November 22, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! I’ve surprisingly kept up with this challenge.  Surprising because I keep almost forgetting about it…which kind of defeats the purpose of meditating all day on the thing I’m thankful for…but I think focusing on the good at all is a step in the right direction!  Getting my natural cynicism to turn around to…

{Recipe Round-Up} What to Take to Thanksgiving

November 21, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

 Hello Friends! Are you a host or an invader? This is the question I overheard someone asking at school the other day while talking about Thanksgiving break.  I’m assuming it was a cheeky way of saying “Are you having people over for Thanksgiving or going over to someone else’s house?” If you are a host,…

{Thankful Thursday Link-up} #30DaysofThanks

November 8, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Good Morning Friends! I am not usually an early morning blogger so it’s weird to have to focus on blogging (and quickly so I can get to babysitting!  Okay I did finish this while the babe was napping…) before I’ve even had my peanut butter toast and diet dew. As promised in yesterday’s WIAW post…

How To Counter-Act Negativity #30daysofthanks

November 1, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! I am just gonna say it: I need to show more grattitude.  Like all the time. I have one of those personalities that makes me lean towards the negative side of things.  I can always see what could possibly go wrong in a situation, in any situation really. This can be a good…
