Boom. Big ‘ole picture of a spaghetti squash in your FACE! Although the name “spaghetti squash” may sound like the beginning of a Seinfeld bit (Is it spaghetti? Is it squash? You tell me?!), it is actually a pretty great… Continue Reading
My name is Leigh, and I have an addiction to “bad” t.v. I’m not talking about television that is poorly acted/written or produced. I’m talking about reality shows that document how crazy and amazing humans can be. My favorite examples being: Intervention, Hoarders,… Continue Reading
You know the drill. These are the fotos that tickle me. There is a slight Holidaze theme but surely there will be something in this batch that will make you chuckle. As I mentioned earlier in the blog, certain decorating… Continue Reading
When I meet with readers of the blog, I like to talk to them about what they like and what kind of articles they would like seeing. Today’s post suggestion came from my cousin Judy and addresses something that isn’t… Continue Reading
After the last post of the 88-Day Challenge, I felt like since the challenge was done, so were the posts about it. Though, the more time passed (after the first of the year) the more I thought about the experience… Continue Reading
After an amazing, yet exhausting holiday season back in Georgia I hopped on a 7 p.m., 4.5-hour flight back to LA yesterday. Since travel days typically involve airports, packing, and goodbyes they are generally pretty crummy. Although my day yesterday had… Continue Reading
Parting really is such sweet sorrow. As excited as I am about returning to Cali (especially with the cold snap sweeping every part of the nation EXCEPT California), leaving home always breaks my heart. Whether I’ve stayed a week or… Continue Reading
[spotify track=”spotify:local:Hank+Williams%2c+Jr.:Hank+Williams%2c+Jr.%27s+Greatest+Hits%2c+Vol.+1:Family+Tradition:240″] I had such grand plans for the blog for this holiday season. I wanted to write many thoughtful posts about all the things that make the season special to me and mine. Fortunately (or unfortunately for the readers)… Continue Reading
Aaaand, we’re here… the finish line– the end of the 88-Day Challenge. All told, I’ve dropped 9 pounds. Not the 20 I set out to lose… but better than a stick in the eye, you know? But, with clothes that fit better and… Continue Reading
I severely overestimated the amount of time I would have this season… Which was silly of me… When has there ever been a holiday season that wasn’t exhausting and chock-full of activities? If we’re not AT a party/event, then we’re… Continue Reading
If you follow the blog regularly, you might recall a post I did several months ago about a Star Trek-inspired onesie (an infants outfit). The post found its way onto Reddit and was even featured on another craft blog! In the post, I… Continue Reading
This is the second to last ’88-Day Challenge’ post. There are really only two weeks and some change left in 2013. Let that sink in. Remember, 74 days ago… when I was all like, “the time will fly… why not start… Continue Reading
I am a list maker by practice. I come from a family of list makers and thrive on the act of checking/crossing off something from my list. Kids these days put their lists on various electronic devices… and I get… Continue Reading
Dear Readers, My sweet and clever friend Carina wrote this interesting essay about ditching the traditional shampoo/conditioner method of hair washing on a cool fitness blog she is running. I knew immediately after reading it that it was something I wanted to share… Continue Reading
Can you imagine a world where avocados just grew on trees? Where you could walk out to your yard and pick a lemon for your Aviator cocktail. Or, grab a lime to squeeze over your watermelon. It’s a shame places… Continue Reading
Life is full of compromises. Unless you are super, well-off one of the compromises you make when you live in a big city is that space is at a premium. I am super jealous of Coralie’s ability to decorate her… Continue Reading
I have lived all my 33-years without participating in a single “Black Friday”… until this year. Saving 15% on an appliance never trumped my desire to sleep in after eating Turkey the day before. In fact, just thinking about storming a store in a mob of… Continue Reading
Our first Thanksgiving holiday in Burbank was lovely–full of friends, calls from family, and an amazing couple of dinners. Christmas is approaching faster than I am ready for and the first of the year is around the corner. 60 days ago, I made… Continue Reading
Whether you are decorating, Black Friday shopping, or recovering from a food coma, let this holiday mix get you in the spirit for whatever your day brings. We both chose a lot of these songs, so look for… Continue Reading
For some of you, Thanksgiving holidays have already started. For others, Wednesday afternoon will be here before you know it. For me, it begins today… kind of. I have some work to do and Josh is working the next two… Continue Reading
