It’s possible that I needed an outlet for my frustration (the lazy days of summer are over, after all!), but when I read about the trend of smashing cucumbers, I couldn’t wait to pull out my kitchen mallet and make a delicious mess. Bashing cucumbers turns out to be a great trick – creating craggy surfaces for […]
I’ve got to admit, one of the most fun parts of having a 3-year-old daughter is that I finally have an excuse to plan parties with incredibly girly themes like “Woodland Fairy.” And now that Phoebe is old enough to have strong opinions of her own, she gets to weigh in with a birthday party wish […]
Are y’all having a good start to the week? If you’re like me, it can be tough to dive back into the workweek after a fun weekend, so I always try to put something a little escapist on the calendar for Monday morning. I’m super excited to roll out a new search feature on the blog today […]
Hi guys, hope you’re having a great weekend so far! We’re doing our best to soak up the last vibes of summer with a trip to the farmers’ market, a homemade batch of frozen margaritas, and mainly just spending as many hours in our swimsuits as possible. Can’t believe it’s the last weekend before Labor […]

As the dynamic duo at the helm of Austin’s Caplan Miller Events, the two friends (along with their talented team) are the go-to when it comes to producing a drop dead gorgeous event in this town, and it’s with good reason. Within five minutes of meeting the local […]

TGIF! And just because school’s in session doesn’t mean we have to kiss summer goodbye quite yet. As long as temps are in the triple digits, I’m still wholeheartedly embracing rosé season, and this slushy cocktail is the perfect way to do it. It’s a fitting drink to close out our #SipsForSummer series, but be sure […]
As I was trying to choose a recipe to share with you all this week, it occurred to me that there have been far too few recipes here on The Sweeter Side that feature what is arguably the best, most delicious food in the entire universe — chocolate. It was time, I immediately decided, to […]
After seeing what Chanel was able to create with our new Sprout, I couldn’t wait to try my hand at the nifty new computer from HP. With crazy cool scanning capabilities, the possibilities are truly endless (seriously, just browse the #GoMakeThings hashtag on instagram and see for yourself). I found that the Sprout was particularly […]
It’s Monday! And if you’re like me, that means clean eating to make up for the sins of the weekend (rosé, fries, and an inordinate amount of caramel corn… check.) Let’s start by talking about these roasted lemons. They’re a new thing for me, and I currently want to put them in everything (i.e., last night […]
Some might see the words eye cream and think “God, I can’t really be old enough for that, right?” — but, thanks to my mother teaching me right in my early years, I’ve always understood that taking care of the eye area should be a normal part of one’s skin care routine, regardless of age. […]
Hey guys! What are y’all up to this weekend? After a really busy workweek for both Adam and me, it’s been nice to just chill the last couple of days. We got last-minute childcare for an impromptu date night on Friday (bliss!), and the rest of the weekend has been lounging in the pool with friends, […]
