Hey everyone! I had written this post up about a week or so ago, announcing the soon opening of my family’s new business location, a small bakery/cafe called the Thomson Baking Company! And then, this morning, I received my own update (as perhaps some of you did), that my blog was announcing the opening of […]
Sometimes, especially on cold winter days, the thing I really want is a fresh summary salad. You know, the kind that makes your eyes a little brighter with the burst of fresh goodness going into you; the sort that makes you feel like summer might be coming soon. I love tabouleh, and one day I […]
Tea parties at home are the best. I remember having them when I was a little kid; my mom would occasionally want to make something sweet (or just create a special occasion for us), and then she’d spruce up an ordinary day by surprising us with something like this. Being homeschooled has a lot of […]
One of my goals for this year is to finally learn more about bread. I love making bread, but aside from the basics, my knowledge of the craft doesn’t span too far (to my embarrassment). So, this year, I want to change that – starting with sourdough. As I was thinking about it, however, I […]
Hey guys!
It’s been a very long time – too long of a time. And the new year has me dreaming like I’ve never done before!! (Ok maybe I have, but let’s just say the life has been blown back into me, and I’ve got a fresh vision for this blog!)
I think the last time I was on here, I had just gotten engaged, and I was heading into wedding planning with a plan to not worry about my blog, at least for a while. And, well, life happens. Not only were we busy during those months with wedding planning, we also encountered a year of surprises that I could not have predicted (or wished to predict).
Hello blogging world! I definitely haven’t updated much since I got engaged… because, well, (amidst a thousand other reasons) that is why I haven’t been updating: I got engaged! And, as you may have guessed… I’m planning a wedding! I wanted to drop in briefly though for 2 reasons: First, I signed […]
I recently had the joy of making this adorable little woodland creature themed cake for a baby shower, and… I loved it. I’ve been in the mode of “Wanting to make more cake tutorials” for my blog, so I’ve taken a select few orders for cakes that fit the types of things I want to […]
Well, once again I’ve fallen behind in blogging because of life. This time I think I have a pretty good excuse, though – I GOT ENGAGED! I wish I had a nice picture of us to share on here, but I’ll have to wait until we get some of those taken. In the meantime, I […]
Everybody knows I have a weakness for pumpkins. Especially cute little ones – I always have to buy one at the beginning of the season, and even then… I usually end up with multiple of them in my possession throughout the season. I just can’t help it! Anyway, it’s that time of year again, and […]
Making so many bagels for the past little while has made bagel sandwiches a must. Since I’ve made so many, I’ve tried many many bagels with a variety of toppings – And just to spark your imagination, I’m gonna share my creations, or at least some of them, on here. True, it *does* seem a […]
