It has been a dream of mine for years to have my own dedicated crafting space. Up until this point, my crafting has been done on various available surfaces only to be stowed away haphazardly if company was coming over.… Continue Reading
Have you ever woken up one day and realized you are paying over $200 for cable and come to find out rates are going to increase by 15% in 60 days? Well, that is exactly what happened to Bub and… Continue Reading
One of my sweetest friends on the planet Erica (you may remember her from here and here) invited me to participate in something called a Blog Hop. What is a blog hop, you may ask? Not only is it an excuse… Continue Reading
Time for another Fun Foto Friday round-up. Since last we chatted (about fun fotos), I’ve been doing a lot of driving/traveling; specifically east of Burbank. I’ve visited Vegas, Claremont, and Palm Springs… twice… so, this particular strip of road has become quickly familiar. Since it’s… Continue Reading
If you read the blog with much regularity, you will know that I am a little obsessed with organizing, re-using things, and packing. When these three things come together, it is like a perfect, zen-nirvana moment for me. Such is the… Continue Reading
Just knowing Becki Carr Lee, today’s guest poster, has made me (Leigh) cooler by association. I met Becki (at left) in 2002 when I interned at an independent music publicity firm in Athens, Georgia where she worked. When she isn’t busy… Continue Reading
Life is kind of made of flops, huh? Flops aren’t always negative, but they are always something from which you (hopefully) learn. It is kind of surreal to think that we have been blogging for a year! It has been… Continue Reading

[spotify track=”spotify:track:0lTrunYU4xo46shJeK9Xjp”] If asked to describe Vegas in one word, I would first ask why someone was asking, but then (after thinking) would have to answer, “surreal.” Vegas is literally the antithesis of reality. An adult Disney World rising out of the middle of… Continue Reading
I am a sucker for a good deal. Especially when it comes to clothes. I love clothes but I do not love playing an arm and a leg for clothes. Consequently, I always have my eyes pealed for a good… Continue Reading
[spotify track=”spotify:track:6M25FTHCAOy7ihR5U6k5pB”] This post is not about celebrating a holiday surrounding classic character The Cheat from Homestar Runner. This post ALSO isn’t about Bob Kuban and the In-Men’s classic song, “The Cheater”… though I wish it was. And although this is a post about temptation, it… Continue Reading
Last week I posted a wonderful lasagna recipe that I described as clean. And then we had a few questions that I answered in the comments. And then my mother and I were talking about it- she and my aunt… Continue Reading
The word “hummingbird” takes me immediately to my grandmother’s kitchen in the summertime. I spent a lot of time with my Georgia grandparents growing up. And I love the memory I have of stirring the sugar and water together in a pot over the… Continue Reading
I’m in this weird place right now where things are coming together. Projects that have languished (some for years) are being completed. Lots of things are getting checked off my to-do list, and wheels are in motion on a lot… Continue Reading
Big News? “What’s the big news?” you ask. Well, we’re going to be making some changes here at FTTDWYW. When we began this blog we outlined some goals for ourselves with the understanding that we would periodically evaluate our progress. With our… Continue Reading
I am so excited to share with y’all another great guest post today. Our friend, Holly brings us another great, thoughtful post about a fantastic social/media experience that she and her family were chosen in which to participate. You may remember Holly from her amazing… 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
I have played board games for as long as I can remember. I have great, great memories of playing games with my Stepmom and Daddy as a child. We would seriously play certain games all day long! It was wonderful fun. I briefly mentioned… 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
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
