So I’ve started another project. It’s no secret that I love ice cream and making ice cream and feeding ice cream to my friends. Thus, I’ve resurrected belinder (my ice cream “catering” business) as a blog where I’m sharing my recipes and exploring new flavors.

Come take a look: http://belinder.co. New recipes every Tuesday!

Not the prettiest thing I’ve ever baked, but I did make macarons from scratch. Item number seven crossed off my 30 before 30 list.

See what I learned for prettier results next time.

This is perhaps the most amazing ice cream concoction ever. Thank you for being who you are @CoolHaus now please come deliver to me.

That’s a pretty great ice cream video.

“The fact is balancing high profile careers and families do work for a lot of other people. They don’t all write books about it, incendiary link-bait articles or even posts like these. They don’t jump up and down and wave their arms about how well its going either. Mostly because they are too busy just getting it done.”

Sarah Lacy on PandoDaily.com

I’ve been reading a lot about Sheryl Sandberg’s book coming out next month, and most articles pit it against Anne-Marie Slaughter’s piece in The Atlantic last year.

I think Sarah Lacy’s piece on Pando Daily gets to the heart of it—neither of these women’s experiences will reflect your own. You have to figure out what works for you, and just get it done.

Tell. Me. More.

Young publishing professional seeking literary-minded comnpanion. Must love books.

Oh dear. Getting ideas.

Does it bother anyone else that there’s a typo in this “young publishing professional’s” post? She must work on the sales side, not edit.

Just when you’re sure. Your life can change right before your eyes.

Taking to heart my intention to be more spontaneous.
