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
I am always looking for some new something to add to our culinary home life. I mentioned briefly in my goals that constantly trying out new recipes has killed my menu planning goals in my past. That is not to… Continue Reading

Y’all. Bub, Baby Bub and I are home fresh from vacation. Who takes vacation in January? Well, we do. And we really had a wonderful trip. Did we go to Disney? No. Did we go to New Orleans? Nope. Did… 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
I have been pushing these books for the last month! Anybody that gave me the time of day, I was chatting up about these two books. They have made a permanent mark on my way of thinking and looking not… 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
I have fallen head over heels in love with personalized digital photo books! I mean for reals! It began as a crush at the end of 2012 but by the end of 2013 it was full-on love. As I have… 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
I love eggs! I love scrambled eggs, fried eggs, deviled eggs, egg salad, quiche- pretty much any incarnation of eggs, I love. Poached eggs are no exception. Eggs Benedict is one of my all-time favorite breakfast dishes but I rarely, if ever,… 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
As a holiday gift to ourselves and our families, we have decided that FTTDWYW will be taking this week OFF (well, kind of….)! We both severely underestimated our schedules during this season and as the season really kicks into high gear, we thought we… Continue Reading
