Kitchen Party: Chocolate Mud Cake

Wednesday, August 22, 2012 by Valerie Parizeault

  I’ve always had a sweet tooth. We have a saying in our family that too and sweet cannot -ever- be put in the same sentence. So my go-to sweet has always been a chocolate cake, the one you can only take with two glasses of chilled milk. I have been on the lookout for the perfect-yet-so-easy chocolate cake recipe, and this one hits the mark. It will definitely help on a … [Read more...] about Kitchen Party: Chocolate Mud Cake

See the invisible-Believe the incredible-Attempt the impossible!

Monday, July 30, 2012 by Valerie Parizeault

This quote from Robert Schuller resonates with me in a profound way. Maybe it's because of it's spiritual nature, and don't worry, I won't get all woo-woo on you guys. ;) Spirituality mixed with business is not something usually encountered.

Or do … [Read more...] about See the invisible-Believe the incredible-Attempt the impossible!

I think I have the same feeling when I watch modern flip books now, the same awe and desire to understand how the process is done. Allow me to present to you the stop-motion or stop-animation process. Here is the latest one I have … [Read more...] about Get your creative side on with this stop motion film tutorial

Technology + handmade: Listen to grandma!

Sunday, August 21, 2011 by Valerie Parizeault

I had an interesting conversation with Chéri (aka my husband) the other day. We are both working in fields related to hi-tech-programming-computer-stuff and we were musing on how our son (who is 2 years old) will not know about technology we used 10 years ago. Floppy disk anyone? Even a CD player, or a Walkman (the sporty yellow one, you remember those?) is a vintage piece for … [Read more...] about Technology + handmade: Listen to grandma!

Care/Carry/Cure an essay from ‘You Care Too Much’

In June of 2016 I supported my love Chris as we dealt with the death of both his parents and a co-worker over a three week period. This essay written the summer of those deaths is my attempt to make sense of grief and the struggle to carry all that I care for. Originally published […]
