- [Do I Need a Kimono?](https://www.leighfeather.com/do-i-need-a-kimono/) - Hi, welcome to this random thought I had lately: Do I need a kimono? Like as a sort of fun, flow-y jacket? Or a beach cover-up. But I wondered: Is it overdone? Too Coachella Too millennial? Is it appropriation? Am I crazy? This is what comes to mind: I'm not sure I can/should try to

- [The Last Day of Summer](https://www.leighfeather.com/the-last-day-of-summer/) - I spent the whole day with my two beautiful children. (I kind of had no choice.) We started off by going to yoga. This was challenging, because, although I've taken my daughter a few times and she can totally hang (I don't know why I said "hang", I mean she can get through a regular grown-up yoga
- [Beauty and the Beast](https://www.leighfeather.com/beauty-and-the-beast/) - I saw the new Beauty and the Beast this past weekend with my 8-year-old daughter, her aunt and her grandmother. A girl's day out to indulge in a girlish fairytale. Then my son tagged along even though his sister explained repeatedly that it was a girl's thing. You see, there is a lot of separation in
- [Women Who Rock: Leigh](https://www.leighfeather.com/women-who-rock-leigh/) - When you were little, what did you want to be? My first memory of a career choice was an Architect. I'm not really sure I knew what an Architect did, but I liked the sound of it. When I told my dad, he said, "Well, you have to be really good at math to be
- [Women Who Rock: Megan Fox of Fox & Finch](https://www.leighfeather.com/women-who-rock-megan-fox-of-fox-finch/) - My friend Megan graciously agreed to be my first person featured on Women Who Rock. And believe me, she does! When you were little, what did you want to be? I remember going through the usual little girl dream sequences. I would be a princess, or a dancer, or some kind of singer when I
- [Book Club 2](https://www.leighfeather.com/book-club-2/) - More books I've read: Peace is Every Step by Thich Nhat Hanh Everyone should own this book. It was a gift from a friend from church and I love that she knows me well enough to pick a Buddhist meditation book for me. Thich Nhat Hanh is one of the most world renown Buddhist
- [Go Set a Watchman — Book Review](https://www.leighfeather.com/go-set-a-watchman-book-review/) - I just finished Go Set a Watchman and I wish I had someone to talk to about it! I'm a little fired up. I sped-read it to the end last night. Now, first of all, I probably wouldn't have chosen this book myself, but it was a present from my dad. I am a huge fan
- [Book Club 1](https://www.leighfeather.com/book-club-1/) - Here are the books I've read recently. If you're looking for a recommendation, I hope this helps. State of Wonder by Ann Patchett A great read. I can't even begin to synopsize it. And I don't want to spoil any of it for you. It has a little in common with the non-fiction work
- [The Perfect Day](https://www.leighfeather.com/the-perfect-day/) - Saturday, September 14, 2013 Oh my gosh, I had so much fun today. Do you ever have a day where all the stars align and make everything work out perfectly? Makes you feel like you're dreaming. That happened to me: in Philadelphia. Tim was out of town and I was faced with an entire day
- [Thoughts on the Year](https://www.leighfeather.com/thoughts-on-the-year/) - I want to share with you some of the really good things I've experienced this year. It's the 2nd to last day of the year and it's lightly snowing here in PA. We've been on vacation this week at 110FRONT and it's been so relaxing. As I was scrolling through my Bloglovin feed, I thought
- [To Tuck or Not to Tuck?](https://www.leighfeather.com/to-tuck-or-not-to-tuck/) - I've had a lot on my mind these days. Life is busy and life is incredibly hard and lately, very tragic.

- [My Never Ending Search for the Perfect Trench Coat](https://www.leighfeather.com/my-never-ending-search-for-the-perfect-trench-coat/) - It all began back in 2013. I became aware of the most important wardrobe must-have. The Trench Coat. Remember Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's? I wanted to look just like that. I searched and researched and then finally, on February 4, 2014, I found the perfect trench coat: Banana Republic, eBay, NWOT, $50. I
- [Copy Cat](https://www.leighfeather.com/copy-cat/) - When I'm bored or uninspired by my clothes, I go to my style board on Pinterest. When I'm really bored, I try to recreate my favorite pins with items I already own. Not a new concept of course, it's been done by everyone from jseverydayfashion.com to manrepeller.com. Look One: Cream-colored sweater, olive "army" pants and

The story line has us bouncing back and forth between present and past — 1900, 1913, 1975 and 2005. It is
- [My Bucket List](https://www.leighfeather.com/my-bucket-list-2/) - "Bucket List" is a term that I use way too much. As in, "I just had my very first Pumpkin Spice Latte! #bucketlist" We all have things we dream about doing. Like buying a classic car. Last year my husband bought a 1966 Mustang. (And I get to drive it.) He had been talking about
- [The Art Museum](https://www.leighfeather.com/the-art-museum/) - The first time I took my kids to the Michener Museum, I think they were about 3 years old, the woman at the front desk asked me, "Are their hands sticky?" What? Are you asking me if they just got finished climbing a tree, raiding an unattended beehive, scooping large handfuls of delicious honey and licking
- [Let's Get Fit: I'm Working Out Again](https://www.leighfeather.com/lets-get-fit-im-working-out-again/) - I am so happy to report that I can workout again! You have no idea how freaked out I was when my back went out at the beginning of the year, and then again, and then again. So, I want to share with you what I did to heal my back and what I learned
- [Let's Get Fit: Recovering from Injury and Setting Reachable Goals](https://www.leighfeather.com/lets-get-fit-recovering-from-injury-and-setting-reachable-goals/) - I love to work out. That's why I am really struggling right now. My back went out at the beginning of the year and I had to take a lot of time off from exercise. Each time I start again my back says, "No." But I'm not giving up. So what can you do when
- [Never Tacky in Khaki](https://www.leighfeather.com/never-tacky-in-khaki/) - When I chose the pieces for my Spring capsule wardrobe I knew I wanted to include my new khaki pants. Why do I love khaki's so much? It's not just because I went to Prep School and literally read the Preppy Handbook as a kid. Something about this time of year makes me crave them so much.
- [Capsule Wardrobe](https://www.leighfeather.com/capsule-wardrobe/) - I take a lot of selfies. It's pretty ridiculous. I do it to figure out what outfits work for me and it's really helpful. You will see below, how taking tons of shots helped me come up with a "Spring Capsule Wardrobe" (a la Un-Fancy) My goal: get dressed quickly, feel comfortable and confident and stop buying clothes I don't need. I started by
- [No Regrets](https://www.leighfeather.com/no-regrets/) - How often have you bought clothing and ended up asking yourself, "What was I thinking?" Last week I wrote about how I realized I needed to stop buying clothes ... compulsively, irresponsibly. But just how does one do that? I stopped buying clothes for the whole month of January while I worked on defining my personal style using The
- [I've Hit Bottom](https://www.leighfeather.com/ive-hit-bottom/) - I hope. This post is something that I've been thinking about for a while. I haven't decided the best way to present it. I haven't figured it all out. But I need to START. So I'm starting. This post is about clothes, mostly. But, more than that, it's about self-expression and self-acceptance. It's probably about a
- [Happy New Year](https://www.leighfeather.com/happy-new-year/) - It's 2017! I actually love Januarys. They're so... minimal. No holidays, no expectations. Sometimes bleak and snow covered. Oddly calming for me. I know it's cliché, but they feel like a fresh start and I love to ponder how to makeover, well everything. Actually I did a lot of "pondering" back in November and then
- [How to Maintain Healthy Gut Bacteria](https://www.leighfeather.com/how-to-maintain-healthy-gut-bacteria/) - — So You Can Stay Physically and Mentally Fit Through the Holidays That picture is from September, the last time I wore a swim suit.

- [How I Stay Fit: a month of workouts](https://www.leighfeather.com/how-i-stay-fit-a-month-of-workouts/) - It's so great to see what I did over the last month. I think it really helps to schedule my workouts. I don't always do what I plan to do, but I do a lot more that I would if I didn't write them on my calendar. I've gotten really weird with my schedule. I'm
- [Fitness Trackers—Fitbit V. Apple Watch](https://www.leighfeather.com/fitness-trackers-fitbit-v-apple-watch/) - I love the Fitbit. The main reason: It makes you move. I play a fun little game where I try to get more steps than yesterday, more than my husband, or my Sister-in-law or my neighbor. I do everything I can think of to rack up steps: I park far away from the store, I do as many loads
- [My Jeans Inventory](https://www.leighfeather.com/my-jeans-inventory/) - Shout out to my Dad who, when I was little, would always make me inventory my clothes before I was allowed to get new ones. "Dad, I need new jeans." "What's wrong with all the ones you have?" Then I'd try on each and every pair of Toughskins to show him that they were either too tight, too
- [Mother-Daughter Journal](https://www.leighfeather.com/mother-daughter-journal/) - A friend told me about this idea: a journal that you and your daughter share. I bought a copy of this journal for my cousin to share with her daughter and she loved it so much, I bought one to share with mine. I love this so much because: It encourages my daughter to practice

(I know, "journal" is not a verb, but "writing in a journal" is sort of cumbersome.) Flashback to 1978. A little girl opens a Christmas gift. It's a Holly Hobbie diary—small and new—with a little brass lock and so much promise. I wrote in in faithfully ... for
- [My Bucket List](https://www.leighfeather.com/my-bucket-list/) - "Bucket List" is a term that I use way too much.

- [8 Fall Outfits I Like](https://www.leighfeather.com/8-fall-outfits-i-like/) - Ah, Fall. I tried on a ton of clothes trying to come up with a few options I liked. You're welcome, because it was a lot of work. I really did it for me, though. Now when I get up I have some idea of what to wear in this season of 80°-90° F "Fall"
- [How Do You Take Care of Your Skin?](https://www.leighfeather.com/how-do-you-take-care-of-your-skin/) - I have never been big on cosmetics. I just don't... well, I just don't care. Or maybe I'm just lazy. I also dislike going to the cosmetics counter. It's intimidating. I feel like I don't "speak the language", that I can't seem to communicate what I want. What do I want? I guess I want to
- [The Most Important Thing for Your Health: Meditation](https://www.leighfeather.com/the-most-important-thing-for-your-health-meditation/) - Do you meditate? Do you want to (in theory) but can't seem to ever get around to it? Over the last few years meditation has become more and more essential to my health and well being than anything else. Every time I forget this fact, something comes into my life to remind me. The first
- [What I'm Reading This Summer](https://www.leighfeather.com/what-im-reading-this-summer/) - The Chaperone by Laura Moriarty This has been on my to-read list for so long I forgot who recommended it. I sort of thought I wouldn't like it, but then I DID. It starts in 1922 and goes almost until present day. It is filled with secrets. Funny, I really liked The Secret Keeper and
- [Staying active on vacation](https://www.leighfeather.com/staying-active-on-vacation/) - I obsess. I'm always worrying about getting out of the habit of working out and eating healthy when I'm on vacation. How am I going to work out when I don't have access to the things I normally do? Should I pack clothes for running? Should I buy a travel scale? Crazy, right? Then
- [How to find a style that works for you](https://www.leighfeather.com/my-style/) - It's always the same with me. Same styles, same brands, same colors. I am even guilty of buying the same exact things I already own. Striped shirts, black skinny jeans, ripped boyfriend jeans... Here is an assortment of recent(-ish) outfit shots. I take photos to remember what worked (or what didn't.) I feel silly, but it
- [Adidas](https://www.leighfeather.com/adidas/) - I finally got a pair of Adidas Superstars!* I am always that kid that wants the cool shoes that all the cool kids have. And at the same time I don't want to get them for precisely that reason, everyone has them. So, I wait and deliberate. Finally I talked myself into them. My husband
- [Let's Get Fit: How to make the number on the scale go down](https://www.leighfeather.com/lets-get-fit-how-to-make-the-number-on-the-scale-go-down/) - Salad. That's pretty much it. I went back to eating really healthy the way I did last spring when I got fit for summer. Over the last couple months I have been so frustrated with my lack of progress with my fitness and I know that might seem trivial or unimportant but it affects all
- [Let's Get Fit: Do it Anyway](https://www.leighfeather.com/lets-get-fit-do-it-anyway/) - It's Monday. It's raining. Whatever you do, you keep (mysteriously) gaining weight. You can't decide what to do to workout. You decide to do nothing. NO. You go for a walk. Just around the block. It turns into a run. It turns into a 30 minute walk/run. This morning I just couldn't. I tried meditating.
- [Right of Way](https://www.leighfeather.com/right-of-way/) - I was recently at the Jersey Shore and we went out on a whale-watching boat. I started to reminisce about my childhood, sailing on the Chesapeake and everything sort of came back to me. I remembered the basic sailing knots I learned, "the rabbit comes up out of the hole, runs around the tree and
- [Let's Get Fit: Break Up](https://www.leighfeather.com/lets-get-fit-break-up/) - I think I need to break up with my new gym. (insert sad emoji face here) I showed up last Monday for my favorite workout, "Ultimate Dumbbell" and found instead a sign that read: "Reminder: No 9:15 am Class Today". Reminder? It's the first I've ever heard of it. Considering I'm either one of three
- [Springtown Coffee House](https://www.leighfeather.com/springtown-coffee-house/) - I've been dreaming of a coffee house in town. This property on main street has been BEAU-tifully and historically restored. We were given a tour today and talked about how we could manage to rent it and make it into: a cafe? an co-op? a market? an artist space/gallery? a yoga studio? Main Store Fronts

- [How to Go Home](https://www.leighfeather.com/my-hometown-liberals-spies-cicadas-and-jehovahs/) - I recently went home for a visit. You learn so much about yourself when you’re taken out of your routine and your comfort zone. And when you go back to your hometown, and especially the house you grew up in. My dad had a bicycle accident and couldn’t be released from the hospital to his
- [Let's get fit](https://www.leighfeather.com/lets-get-fit/) - I went running today. Outside. It's been 44 days since I did that. 58 days since I ran regularly. So, I felt good about getting out there. So good that I started thinking. This tends to happen when I'm exercising. Some kind of brain chemistry thing that increases inspiration. I thought, "What if I wrote
- [Let's Get Fit: Start Slow and Taper Off](https://www.leighfeather.com/lets-get-fit-start-slow-and-taper-off/) - This is the best advice I've ever gotten when it comes to exercising. People usually look at me like they don't understand, because it sounds wrong. We've been taught to go as hard and as fast as possible and then more so. No! Wrong! I tried that. I tried it lots of times and
- [Let's Get Fit: BODY, MIND, SPIRIT](https://www.leighfeather.com/lets-get-fit-body-mind-spirit/) - Nothing is better than yoga for tuning your whole attitude upside down. Welcome to my favorite day of the week: Saturday. The Yoga Loft in Bethlehem, PA. Carrie Morgan's class at 9:00 am. It's amazing. Carrie is amazing. I love it so much and I am very selfish when it comes to rearranging everyone's schedule

- [Let's Get Fit: The Treadmill: A Necessary Evil](https://www.leighfeather.com/lets-get-fit-the-treadmill-a-necessary-evil/) - It just started snowing as I laced up my running shoes. The good news is I have a treadmill. The bad news is I have a treadmill. I really wanted to skip today. I was going to. You know, get to work, start my day, not waste time. And it never fails, as soon
- [Let's Get Fit: Why Should Women Lift Weights?](https://www.leighfeather.com/lets-get-fit-why-should-women-lift-weights/) - I don't really think about my arms. But, when I'm lifting weights, a little voice asks, "Is this even necessary?" or "I hope I don't get big man arms". Right? Then I remind myself, that's not going to happen. Not the way I lift weights (and because I'm not a dude). And I remind myself:
- [Let's Get Fit: Just Did It.](https://www.leighfeather.com/lets-get-fit-just-did-it/) - Today was a running day. I got dressed and walked the kids to the bus stop. I started my run from there. It was too cold. I wanted to go fast to warm up but my ankle had other ideas. So, my run involved a lot of walking. I did the route I always do
- [Let's Get Fit: #TBT](https://www.leighfeather.com/lets-get-fit-tbt/) - This was taken at the Race for Hope 5K in Philadelphia on November 1, 2009. Seems like forever ago. My hair was still dark, dark brown because I was growing it out to donate to Locks of Love. Nora had only just learned to walk. And I had only just learned to run — and
- [Let's Get Fit: Post-Yoga Breakfast](https://www.leighfeather.com/lets-get-fit-post-yoga-breakfast/) - Saturday = Yoga After Yoga = Breakfast Once again, how great is yoga on a Saturday morning? Even better that I can bring my 6-year-old with me. This past Saturday was really hard and really good. Sometimes Carrie uses grown up words, like the one that starts with "s", “Oops, sorry” she'll say, then “It’s ok, Leigh
- [Let's Get Fit: How to Avoid Injury](https://www.leighfeather.com/lets-get-fit-how-to-avoid-injury/) - I'm going to let you in on the biggest secret in fitness: stretching. I know, you're thinking, "I know" I know you know. I know. But I don't do it. At least not nearly enough. But that doesn't mean we can't change! After I run, I do these easy stretches. On both sides. So, calf, calf,
- [Let's Get Fit: Spin to Lose](https://www.leighfeather.com/lets-get-fit-spin-to-lose/) - I lost 3 pounds! In 1 day! Okay, so I weigh myself way more than I should.

- [Let's Get Fit: Staying on Track](https://www.leighfeather.com/lets-get-fit-staying-on-track/) - A perfect morning for a run. Very overcast but really warm.

I went out and it was lovely. Not one drop of rain
- [Let's Get Fit: Ultimate Dumbbell](https://www.leighfeather.com/lets-get-fit-ultimate-dumbbell/) - Mondays I do "Ultimate Dumbbell". I love Mondays! I love them because they usually mean I get back to my normal schedule. The kids were back to school after Easter vacation and I was looking forward to burning off all that extra Easter ham. All I can say about today's class was, "I did it". Of course
- [Let's Get Fit: Schedule Your Workouts](https://www.leighfeather.com/lets-get-fit-schedule-your-workouts/) - If I don't schedule it, it ain't gonna happen. This is a snapshot of last month. By the way, it isn't what was planned, but what was planned and actually happened. If I missed a workout or did something different, I changed it on the calendar. It's interesting to note, it was March 10th when
- [Let's Get Fit: #TBT](https://www.leighfeather.com/lets-get-fit-tbt-2/) - Back when we were young and crazy. Well, younger. We did the annual "Donut Derby". I think I did 2010, 2011 and 2012. The twins were 1, 2, then 3. Grandma and Grandpa walked around with them for 2+ hours while we rode. Various people joined us on different years. One year my cousin Anna came all

I've known for a long time that I'm better off when I don't eat it, but hadn't fully committed to it. I had been experimenting with different forms of sugar and only having it occasionally. One day I had crazy cravings and thought I was going to lose my mind,

And then you wake up, you're like, "They know because my
- [Let's Get Fit: Jazzercise! Seriously, Jazzercise.](https://www.leighfeather.com/lets-get-fit-jazzercise-seriously-jazzercise/) - I love Jazzercise so much. It is seriously the best workout ever invented. And, it has continually reinvented itself, staying current with fitness trends (or setting them.) I have done all kinds of workouts over the years—boot camp, zumba, hip-hop, kickboxing, boxing-boxing, pilates, yoga, spinning, road and mountain biking, running, even outrigger canoeing—but I always

Second, don't fall victim the thought that if all your hard work "isn't working", you might as well order the bacon cheeseburger and fries. Stay the course. Stick with it. Weight loss is a marathon, not a
- [Let's Get Fit: I took my own advice](https://www.leighfeather.com/lets-get-fit-i-took-my-own-advice/) - To break through my plateau I decided to do something different. I usually run around my neighborhood. It's almost the exact same route every run and it takes me about 30 minutes. I think I got stuck on 30 minutes because I did the Budd Coates plan where you go from just walking to walk/run

- [Let's Get Fit: Small Victories](https://www.leighfeather.com/lets-get-fit-small-victories/) - This might not seem like a big deal to you, but I ran somewhere new. I mentioned a few weeks ago that I had developed a running routine. The good thing is that I run consistently, the bad thing is it's consistently the same route and the same distance. Why is it so hard to do something

So, I set this goal for myself to be a certain weight/size by the start of summer. I'm the first to admit that I'm motivated by vanity. I
- [The Office](https://www.leighfeather.com/the-office/) - I started the day with the usual workout – run, then a little strength training and stretching. And then, since I need to wash my hair today anyway, I dove in the pool. I sat in the sun afterwards feeling so guilty/lucky and I meditated on how fast everything changes. It's best to steal as many
- [How to Find Your Signature Scent](https://www.leighfeather.com/how-to-find-your-signature-scent/) - About a year ago I decided that I was going to give up on the idea of ever wearing perfume. So many times I had tried and failed. I would buy it (or convince a man to buy it for me) and then never wear it. When I did wear it, I found it overwhelming.
- [What I Bought from UNIQLO & Ines De La Fressange](https://www.leighfeather.com/what-i-bought-from-uniqlo-ines-de-la-fressange/) - I love Ines De La Fressange, read her book, follow everything she does and generally want to be her. A while back I searched and searched for a menswear style black wool coat and found it at UNIQLO from their brand new partnership with Ines which I had heard about all over the interwebs. The coat
- [A Few of My Favorite Things (to do in Atlanta)](https://www.leighfeather.com/a-few-of-my-favorite-things-to-do-in-atlanta/) - Atlanta, how I love you. I was blown away at how polite everyone was. At first I thought it was just my hotel, The Renaissance Waverly (Marriott), that I wasn't used to this calibre of hotel. But people said, no, it's just Southern Hospitality. But, I mean, it was over the top, ya'll. Never in
- [Do You Uber?](https://www.leighfeather.com/do-you-uber/) - I was afraid to Uber. (Can it be used as a verb?) Anyway, I used Uber for the first time on a trip to Atlanta this week. Why was I afraid? Mostly because of the unknown. Because I never used it. I don't know many people who have. Actually, I think only person I know who's used it is my super-hip cousin
- [How to Get Through Airport Security Quickly](https://www.leighfeather.com/how-to-get-through-airport-security-quickly/) - I pride myself in being very air-travel savvy, especially when it comes to the security check point, not unlike George Clooney in Up in the Air, which is why today's epic fail was so disappointing to me. In my mind, I've mastered the art of breezing through airports as fast as possible. I pack light. One carry
- [New Bike](https://www.leighfeather.com/new-bike/) - Some people have been giving me sh*t because I "never ride a real bike anymore." I admitted this to my friend Jerry recently. But I have been taking spin almost weekly. (I LOVE SPIN. It's like Jazzercise on a bike. Right?) That, he said, was even worse. He said, "Your 20 year old self wants to punch
- [Let's Get Fit: I get up. I put on shoes. I run.](https://www.leighfeather.com/lets-get-fit-i-get-up-i-put-on-shoes-i-run/) - Sometimes the best I can do is just do. Don't think. Don't prepare. Just go. And that's a victory. I don't promise to run far or fast. I just get out the door. Here I am, out the door.
- [You're too thin.](https://www.leighfeather.com/youre-too-thin/) - Sometimes people say this to me. (Sometimes.) I never know what to say to this. "What?!" comes to mind. Who knows why anyone comments on anyone's size/body/etc. But they do. For someone who works out (and skips dessert) as often as I do, I think I should be thinner. So, I started to wonder, what is
- [What to do when you have an injury](https://www.leighfeather.com/what-to-do-when-you-have-an-injury/) - Hi ya'll. I'm back. This is a post I've wanted to do for a while now. What do you do when you can't exercise. I'm scheduled to run a 10K next weekend and I'm not anywhere near ready. I pulled a glute muscle a month or so ago, and have been trying to rehab it ever
- [Three Books That Are All About Me](https://www.leighfeather.com/three-books-that-are-all-about-me/) - These 3 books are what I’m all about these days. The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing by Marie Kondo Marie Kondo DID change my life. I really hate being on a bandwagon, but I loved this book. I did this book and Oh My God. I am completely
- [Pomegranates](https://www.leighfeather.com/pomegranates/) - Do you know the story of Persephone? Here's what I remember: In Greek mythology, a girl young named Persephone gets kidnapped and taken to Hades (the underworld, not Hell as we imagine it.) While she's down there, her mother Cerces, the Goddess of the harvest is devastated, causing the world to turn to winter. Persephone is
- [Overnight Oats](https://www.leighfeather.com/overnight-oats/) - My friend Amber told me about her new favorite recipe. (I don't know if it's even technically a recipe, any more than a bowl of cereal is a recipe.) It's healthier than instant and making it the night before means you save a ton of time not having to cook it. And, it can be
- [The Ant and the Grasshopper](https://www.leighfeather.com/the-ant-and-the-grasshopper/) - You know the story. The Ant works all summer while the Grasshopper plays. Come winter, the Grasshopper is knocking on the Ant’s door… The Ant didn’t set out to be an Ant. He really wanted to be a spy. He grew up on a little farm in a little town outside of Boston. He went
- [What's Going On?](https://www.leighfeather.com/whats-going-on/) - It's been 6 weeks since I written anything. What have I been up to? Musical Theater My kids got an opportunity to be in the King and I at the local high school. Or that’s what I thought. They actually got invited to a soul-crushing odyssey of rejection. It was a total train wreck. Upside:
- [Snakehead Fishing](https://www.leighfeather.com/snakehead-fishing/) - As told by Dan Woodhead I went snakehead fishing with Larry Massett and Art Silverman on Saturday. This guy Charlie took us. Charlie's living over at Madeleine and Ante's. He's an old friend of Ante's from his newspaper reporting days. He has a friend named Royal who has a place where you can go snakehead fishing.
- [Why Am I So Happy?](https://www.leighfeather.com/why-i-am-i-so-happy/) - Why is it that we are so much happier on vacation when nothing is really different? In my case, I still have kids and I still have work. Maybe it's because I'm not home. There's a lot less housework to do. Less of a sense of obligation. Maybe it's just that it's a different place.
- [10 Things This Photo Says About Me](https://www.leighfeather.com/10-things-this-photo-says-about-me/) - I love the beach — pictured here, Ocean City, MD, 1979-ish. Sadly, we always seemed to go off-season and enjoyed a lot of rain. I love Sean Cassidy — Apparently I liked The Hardy Boys enough to get this painfully embarrassing T-shirt with an iron-on decal. I'm a TV baby — I watched a lot of
- [Mother's Day](https://www.leighfeather.com/mothers-day/) - I bought a sewing machine last year and whenever I use it I think of her. She taught me how to sew. And she sewed things for me. It all comes back to me. The old black Singer sewing machine. The pedal. The sound. How she pulled the pins out as she fed the fabric through it.
- [My Ice Cube Tray Runneth Over](https://www.leighfeather.com/my-ice-cube-tray-runneth-over/) - Do you resent having to fill up your ice cube trays? I read a blog post this morning about this topic. Pretty boring, right? I have to admit I relate. I used to hate it too. Then one day I thought, "LIFE is like filling an ice cube tray": as my good fortune overflows, I
- [A Rainy Day in Brooklyn](https://www.leighfeather.com/a-rainy-day-in-brooklyn/) - My Epic Rainy Day Escape to NYC with Besties Jennifer and Laura As you can imagine, life in New York is a bit different from life in suburban-rural Pennsylvania. And that was the whole point. When I first proposed the idea of getting together with my NJ/NY girlfriends, Jen suggested an out of the way
- [Secret Identity](https://www.leighfeather.com/secret-identity/) - I had an idea. Maybe if I pretended I was playing the part of a housewife in a movie, I wouldn't mind so much doing all the domestic things I do. It wouldn't be such boring, mind-numbing drudgery. I would play the quintessential domestic goddess. That way, all the shirt-ironing, chicken-defrosting, under-the-bed-dusting and laundry-sorting would
- [Attire](https://www.leighfeather.com/attire/) - I feel like I have to explain often why running around naked is not okay. Outside. And peeing on the grass. Although better than doing it in the pool, not great. I think my son explained it for himself, "It's like I'm a dog." Yes. Shortly after my son peed on the grass, through his
- [44 year old suburban mom goes to Tool concert](https://www.leighfeather.com/44-year-old-suburban-mom-goes-to-tool-concert/) - Last night my husband and I drove to Camden NJ to see Tool. My idea. As we're getting our kids ready for bed, the babysitter due at any moment, I put on my favorite skinny jeans, high-heel knee-high black boots, sequin-y black tank and a gray featherweight cardigan. Then my husband goes to get ready.
