Lee Cordon
As a history major, Lee’s plan was to go to law school. But the best laid plans resulted in marrying young, moving far away from her Southern roots to foreign places like San Francisco and New England, and dabbling in everything from newspaper beat reporting to writing wine tasting notes to event planning. She and her husband, Justin, settled in Dallas eight years ago and have three joyful little girls who, thankfully, don’t mind eating Tex-Mex at least three times a week. Lee blogs at Do Say Give, where she writes about how to be lovely and gracious in everything we do, say, and give (with a little bit of fashion thrown in for fun!).
