As I work day in and day out to build Lived X Leigh into something memorable, I felt it was only right to start showing a little bit more of myself along the way. Here are some things you may or may not have known about me:
- I was born and raised in Austin, TX. I'm actually a generational Austinite, my mom and grandma also being born here.
- My husband and I have two dogs, a Lab mix named Scotty and a Frenchie named Baxter. I have always had a true joy for dogs, it says in our vows if I were to find a stray on the side of the road we get to keep it.
- My passion for thrift shopping is DEEP! There is nothing that calms me like wandering the aisles of a Goodwill searching for treasures.
- I once read 100 books in one year.
- When I was younger, if I could have been anything in life it was a country singer. Oddly enough I have a fear of being the center of any kind of attention and usually avoid big crowds.
- 9pm is my preferred bed time.
- There is something so sentimental about picking up a magazine at the grocery store check out.
- I drink my coffee with extra cream and eat my french fries with extra ketchup.
- For as long as I can remember I wanted to make things pretty. From scraping together my allowance to decorate my room for the ultimate sleepovers, to preparing quesadilla boards for all my roommates after a long night out in college. I love setting the stage for a moment of memories.
