  • Random Sides // Mise En Place.

    A little Sunday food for thought: mise en place. “The system that makes kitchens go is called mise-en-place, or, literally, “put in place.” It’s a French phrase that means to gather and arrange the ingredients and tools needed for cooking.” – Article via NPR. Mise en place. Have you heard of that phrase? It’s a […]

  • Random Sides // Choose Butter Over Bros.

    Sometimes I really love playing around in Photoshop and Illustrator. I’m no graphic designer, but I’ve got a soft spot for typography. Graphic design – for me – is very much like baking. It’s the perfect combination of utilizing my technical (left) brain along with my more creative (right) brain. Here’s one sample of something […]

  • Random Sides // Cheers to 2016.

    I’m certain that I have mentioned before on this blog that I’ve never been big on New Years’ Resolutions. Last year, I actually did write some out [see them here if you’re so inclined]. But what I am finding as the years roll on is that – more than anything else – things change. When […]

  • Random Sides // Things I’m Afraid to Tell You.

    Oh boy. I am only about three years late on this blog post. Ha. I got this idea from Beth – who owns Parsimonia – a really awesome vintage clothing store in St. Louis. She got the idea from a post that Ez of the popular Creature Comforts blog wrote back in 2012. Even though […]

  • Random Sides // Baking is My Love Language. <3

    It’s true. Baking is my love language. What does that mean? Well, there’s a theory out there that says we all show love and affection to others – whether it be romantic or platonic or familial – in a particular way, that is unique to us. The five “love languages” are as follows: words of […]

  • Random Sides // I’m Going to Germany!

    I haven’t talked about this on the blog yet. But you read the title right: I’m going to Germany! I’ve never been out of the continental U.S. [nope, not even to Mexico or Canada!], so this will definitely be a new adventure for me.

  • Random Sides // Some Life Lessons as of Late.

    Do you ever have those days – or times – in which you experience more epiphanies than usual? I swear, sometimes I’m going along in life and everything is just hard or not making any damn sense. Then all of the sudden, it’s as if I’ve made progress; I’ve pushed through the mud, and I have […]
