We have been rocking out to Sawyer’s Guest Playlist and, if you missed it, you can always find old playlists from guests (or from us) by following us on Spotify! After the events of this past week, we needed some… Continue Reading
Okay. Maybe the above title is a slight exaggeration, but I stumbled upon something that kind of revolutionizes two breakfast components. I have been jamming on some breakfast couscous lately… but on Saturday mornings, I like to try and take breakfast… Continue Reading
I don’t want to talk about the unfathomable events that occurred in Boston yesterday. The internet and the news is full with too much for me. Until answers are found and the dust has settled, let’s just everyone hold your loved ones a bit… Continue Reading
Rime is a wild mage. She can bend the very fabric of reality, but at a cost – a cost to her health and her sanity. Her power is unstoppable but it leaves her empty, weak, and often unconscious. Jonas… Continue Reading
Guests posts are the best! We obviously love them here at FTTDWYW… and since Mary Carol was so great to give us her great breakfast couscous recipe, we returned the favor and I guest posted over at her blog Thousand Story Kitchen… Continue Reading
There is a pin floating around on Pinterest that shows a picture of a plastic yogurt container in the process of having it’s paint removed. The pin description states, “How to remove all writing off plastic containers to then use as storage… Continue Reading
Does anyone NOT love garlic? Seriously. Anyone? Only once have I uttered the phrase, “mmm… there’s too much garlic in this…” There is a standing rule in my household that states: if a recipe calls for garlic (unless its raw),… Continue Reading
Psst. Hey you. Yeah you. Over here. Be cool. You like clean clothes? Yeah, then I got whatchew need, right here. Wait. Do you work for Tide? Woolite? You gotta tell me if you do. Alright. I guess you’re cool. This is the… Continue Reading
There are certain things for which I am a staunch traditionalist and holidays away from home always make me a little sad. In the course of my life, a majority of my Easter Sundays have been spent in Lavonia, sitting around my Grandmother’s… Continue Reading
If you know me, you probably wouldn’t describe me as, “a runnin’ person.” Running was never fun for me and I hated it throughout school P.E. classes. My hatred of running followed me through college and beyond- despite the fact… Continue Reading
So, this post is less cleaning your oven with ammonia and more a public service announcement about working with ammonia. But, yeah… it’s also about cleaning your oven. I know. Super glamorous… but one must have something to do in between… Continue Reading
I love watching cooking shows: Top Chef, Iron Chef, Hell’s Kitchen, Barefoot Contessa, Martha, Cake Wars, or anything else that happens to be on when I’m putzing around the house doing chores. If they are talking about great ways to use… Continue Reading
Remember? Back when you were little, when you never cared about your skin. Sunscreen and lotions were things Mom worried about and you could not have cared less. Fast forward to today. As unaware as I WAS about my skin… Continue Reading
I have a love/hate affair with dishes. I hate doing them, but love them being done right. Which brings me to the question: what is YOUR definition of “right?” The answer, of course, will be as varied as the person you are… Continue Reading
Being overwhelmed by how loved you are is a pretty great thing by which to be overwhelmed. This week has been all about the love- in many shapes and forms… from comments, emails, texts, and phone calls to honest assessments, signal-boosts,… Continue Reading
I don’t know about you, but I am constantly bemoaning the enormity of my t-shirt collection. I have nice t-shirts which go on hangers. I have t-shirts meant for the gym. I have t-shirts in which I sleep. Obviously, what… Continue Reading
I have had granite counters for 6 years now and I’ve bought everything from the super-expensive spray to cannistered wipes. I always ended up cleaning the counter twice- once to sterilize it, and again to get rid of the streaks and residue.… Continue Reading
First, let me kick off by saying that I am not on the Paleo diet. I do, however, try my very best to eat towards the higher-protein/lower-carb side of the spectrum. That being said, I always keep higher-protein snacks on deck for… Continue Reading
I travel (by plane) more than some, but not as much as others. I can’t count the number of times that the changes in altitude or general jostling of baggage handlers have made beauty products (shampoo, body gel, etc.) explode in my… Continue Reading
I’m not the biggest breakfast person… I’d rather spend the 15 minutes it takes to make/eat breakfast snoozing. No shame. This rule holds pretty fast… except on the weekends. I adore nothing more than a leisurely brunch while watching CBS Sunday… Continue Reading
