Host a Galentine’s Day Fête – Inspiration

Details and decorations from a girly Galentine’s Day Fête I hosted with some of my favorite San Francisco bloggers and Anthropologie!Ideas for Valentine or Galentine's Day Party

February holds one of my very favorite holidays. A holiday that celebrates relationships. And the color pink. And dessert.

Wait, did you think I was talking about Valentine’s day?

Nope. I’m all about celebrating the amazing ladies in my life on Galentine’s Day. And seriously, what better excuse is there to host a brunch?

To celebrate, I invited some of my favorite San Francisco bloggers over for a Galentine’s Day brunch. You can see it all today on the Anthropologie blog!

Here are a few more details and tips for hosting your own Galentine’s day celebration…

Best Recipes & DIYs of 2014

Top Posts 2014 Recipes & DIYs

2014 has been an amazing year for A Side of Sweet! Traffic around here has more than doubled and I’ve had my recipes pop up everywhere from A Fabulous Fete to the Huffington Post.

Even more important than that though, is the increased engagement and connectedness I feel with the community I’ve built around A Side of Sweet. I’m talking every comment, every email and every hashtag. At the end of the day, that’s why I blog. It’s about a sense of community – and y’all are truly the best darn thing.

People ask how I manage a busy ‘real life’ job with the time commitment that blogging takes. I always give the same answer – it’s so much fun to contribute to this amazing online community and connect with people across the world. I feel like I’m getting energy from blogging instead of expending it. So thank you, and here’s to so much more fun in 2015!

Without further ado, here are the top recipes and DIYs this year:

Five Unique Uses for Mr. Clean Magic Erasers

5 Awesome Uses of Mr. Clean Magic Erasers

I may be the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser‘s biggest fan. No one would ever accuse me of being a neat freak, but I’m not a slob either. I fall more in the middle and my claim is that if I wasn’t working 80 hours a week, cleanliness would be much more of a priority! I think I love Magic Erasers because they make cleaning pretty much anything easier. I’m all for anything that makes keeping our place presentable easier…. Read More »

Best DIYs & Recipes of 2012

This year, my little travel blog grew into a place where I shared more than just photos of my adventures.  Given that interviewing for residency took me to Portland, Denver, San Francisco, and Stanford, there were plenty of photos, but I was also able to share some of my favorite recipes and DIY projects.  Literally thousands of people from all of the world stopped by to check out my humble ramblings.

2013 will be full of changes and adventures for Pat and I.  We are getting married in May, just a week after I graduate from medical school.  I’ll be starting my first real job, as a pediatric resident.  Hopefully that will mean we’ll be moving to a new city, after almost a decade of being in Madison.  I also have two big trips coming up – six weeks working with Tibetan refugees in India and three weeks in Morocco for our honeymoon!  All of that in just the first six months of 2013!

Thank you again for reading A.  Here are the top 10 most visited projects of 2012:
