One of our more popular posts on FTTDWYW is a post I did pintesting a pin from Pinterest about removing paint from plastic containers. Coralie and I are always amazed at what posts resonate with the world, and this one struck a chord. In… Continue Reading
Now that things are making their way out of boxes and back into our lives, I am in awe of two things. The first is the amount of things that I had completely forgotten about… the things that when they are… Continue Reading
Coralie and I are constantly working on ways to make FTTDWYW harder. better. faster. stronger. From the beginning of FTTDWYW, Coralie and I have wanted certain things for the blog- mainly for the blog to be instinctive, intuitive… for you… Continue Reading
I’m sure y’all are about as tired of hearing about my apartment painting as I am of painting… but Jojo and I finished the master bedroom and guest room/hobby hacienda this weekend and I had to share the most awesome… Continue Reading
Coralie is super awesome at taking meaningful, well-composed photos… ones that commemorate a moment and are capturers of memories… when going through my photos, especially now with camera phones, I find that 90% of them are joke photos; things that… Continue Reading
Faithful Reader, I have once again been experiencing technical difficulties. Bub and I were in Dallas for four days over this past weekend. While there, our laptop went on the fritz. We thought it was dead and had even begun… Continue Reading
As I mentioned Monday (and several posts before that), I’ve recently begun painting our apartment room-by-room in preparation for the movers arriving with our stuff. I researched and scoured the internet for tips to make painting easier. But, let’s face… Continue Reading
If you are playing along at home, you’ll know that we’ve been planning on painting our apartment before our furniture gets here. Well, as you read this (hopefully) all of stuff is FINALLY being loaded onto a truck. It should… Continue Reading
I’ve been making excuses the past month and a half about all the reasons why I’m too stressed to workout/take care of myself… when, in fact, those stressors are all the reasons why I SHOULD be working out. My whole life… Continue Reading
I’ve always been “mature for my age”… which was all fine and good, until I actually started getting older. I don’t want to sound like Andy Rooney (will the kidz even GET that reference), because I believe growing older is a… Continue Reading
The thing about Los Angeles, like New York, is that anything can happen. There is just something in the air that is different; everything is on an elevated wavelength. “Famous” people live all over the world, but there is just a higher… Continue Reading
We’ve been pretty bad here at Fun Things To Do While You’re Waiting this summer about keeping up with playlists and guest posters. Summertime is just busy… for everyone… and no one likes to be shaken down for a guest post-… Continue Reading
Since Coralie has been taking strolls down memory lane, it inspired me to go through my digital collection. I found some great ones… but one, in particular, made me laugh out loud. So, here is my throw-back and my truth… Continue Reading
Fun Things To Do While You’re Waiting has been going strong for a little almost four and a half months now! Say WHAAA??? That’s a third of a year?! We’ve published 153 (154 including this one) posts and are STILL going strong. As… Continue Reading
Our Chicago apartment was on the 14th floor. All my dreams of freshly-grown herbs were always dashed as wind chimes and window boxes are things that just cannot exist successfully on a 14th- floor Chicago balcony. Now that we are… Continue Reading
We have been in our apartment for a little over a week now. A few days after we moved in, Jojo and I went to Home Despot and got some paint-sample, colored cards. One of the suggestions I’ve read in… Continue Reading
Manners are important; especially in my family. Being a good hostess is one of my top priorities so when I become a guest, I am particularly conscious of my actions. Jojo and I have recently been houseguests for over a… Continue Reading
Hooray!!! We’re moving into our apartment today!! One of the only advantages of us getting an apartment and not having furniture in it for a month is that I can paint! Painting is such a cheap and effective way to make an… Continue Reading
I’ve been wanting to do this post for awhile but wanted to gather enough data to sufficiently do it justice. Before I left Chicago, my dear friend Marlene gave me an UP by Jawbone which was an extremely generous gift. For… Continue Reading
