Homemade Lattes

Homemade Lattes

Sipping on a warm latte has to be one of the most relaxing simple pleasures in life. I’ve always heard good things about these stovetop espresso makers and really loved its simplicity. No crazy contraption sitting on my kitchen countertop or components to clean after every use. So, I picked up a Bialetti espresso maker from Cooks on Grave Avenue after yoga one night, and of course had to stop…

Branding the Midwest

Branding the Midwest

A super talented graphic designer decide to create screen-printed posters of the Great Lakes states after a roadtrip with his girlfriend! My first thought was this is awesome.

So,…

The Daily Stuff
