Photography became a hobby of mine sometime last year after I started using a DSLR to film wedding videos. I'm responsible for most of the photos on the blog, and I thought I'd share some things that I've learned along the way and show you the DIY photo studio that I set up in our house.Photography is an important and often...

Last weekend, we found an old dresser at the Habitat for Humanity Restore. We've been on the hunt for a long dresser to put in Lucy's room that could double as her changing table. We spotted one that was covered in cobwebs. The wooden details were falling off. It was covered in scratches and was totally the wrong color for...Before and After: The Shangri-Lucy Dresser

Let me take you back, way back, to the end of 2007. Leslie and I met during the summertime in Florida, but I had to go live in Montana for work, and she had to stay in Florida for school, so we became pen-pals. We talked all the time, mostly through email and instant messaging.We learned a lot about each other, during our...

A couple of days ago I posted about the historic street in Brooksville, Florida that I grew up on. I focused on the big homes because those are the ones that usually impress most people. Did I have you fooled into thinking that I spent hours on my veranda with a glass of the finest wine, smoking a cigarette with a...

Happy Earth Day, everyone! Did you do anything special today to save the planet? I recycled everything in the house, saved a dolphin, and held my breath while I surfed the Internet to help balance out my CO2 emissions.

The Internet is a scary place, and smart people know not to share all of their personal details on it. I'm not that smart, so I'm going to tell you all about the historic street I grew up on. I mean, if you really wanted to, I'm sure you could find out about it on Google Maps. Or trace it down somehow by looking at my...DIY: HTML, or: How-to: Get in Over Your Head

Two whole days have passed without a word from us on our blog and that gives me some serious heavy boots. Leslie and I have been spending the past couple of nights planning out a new design for our blog because we wanted a simpler look. If you've glanced at our page over the past 48 hours, you may have noticed that it changes...

If you're following us on Facebook, you probably know that last week I came home with a stack of salvaged picture frames and no idea what to do with them.
Leslie and I kicked some ideas around, considered some suggestions we got on Facebook, and then decided to do something weird. I went to an antique shop in town for...

This morning I got a text from my good friend Joan letting me know that she was in town. I was so happy to see her but, like every Sunday in this small town, I was at a loss for what to do. The choices are usually: go to the grocery store to buy shampoo, get an appetizer at the local Applebee's, or sit in front of the boob...
