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)

The Happy Things Series

October 13, 2014 by Amanda R DeWitt

the happy things series

I’m totally fine with sharing the struggles that go on in my life or having a negative opinion on something. I think that is necessary to having a genuine blog. Some things in life are good and some are bad, right?

The thing is, I don’t want my little space on the internet to be a total downer. There is so much in life to be happy about and I want to start high lighting those things every once in awhile. I know it benefits me to look on the positive side of things and hopefully it will remind you of the happy things in your life as well!
