Clean Start

Posted on January 6, 2012 by Hannah (BitterSweet)

Synonymous with new beginnings and self improvement, there could hardly be a better time than the New Year to investigate a book like Clean Start, by Terry Walters.

Before demurring [...] Continue reading →

Hearty and Heartfelt

Posted on November 21, 2011 by Hannah (BitterSweet)

Timing is everything, especially when it comes to seasonal cravings.

Start Spreading the News

Posted on June 10, 2011 by Hannah (BitterSweet)

Ordinarily a stellar candidate for keeping a secret, I’ve been a regular blabbermouth when it comes to my own.  After practically shouting it from the roof tops around town, spilling the details to anyone who sees me and stops to say “Hi,” it’s about time the rest of the world (or at least, the internet) [...] Continue reading →
