“Ugh, why do these still smell?!” We’ve all been there. That moment when you pull the laundry out of the wash and there is still some strange, unidentifiable scent. Whether it’s from your favorite Chinese food restaurant, chlorine soaked swimwear, or smoke from the campfire (this one was me this week), sometimes detergent just isn’t [...]

Well, it’s definitely been a time of transition around here at Bachman’s Sparrow. Lately I haven’t been able to spend as much time posting my thoughts, loves, and finds like I used to. Sometimes it makes me a little sad, like I’ve given up on one of my passions for another, but I think more [...]

Well, it’s been awhile since I’ve done a video blog! Probably because it takes me a million takes before I sound somewhat coherent, and not make a ton of weird faces and noises and awkward comments (but, as you can see, they still found their way in the video below, durrr lol). And yes, there’s [...]

San Francisco is such a great city for foodies – especially for those who enjoy more of the artistic, indie atmosphere versus large establishments. Last week I had the opportunity to eat at Scala’s Bistro, which I found out later is the restaurant Top Chef contestant Jen Biesty and Just Desserts Tim Nugent create their [...]

On August 13, 1889, Ferdinand von Zeppelin patented his plans for the Navigable Balloon, later named the zeppelin. During the 1930s, the giant air travelers were popular modes of transportation from Germany to North America and Brazil. But, in 1937 the tragic explosion of one of the giant airships known as the Hindenburg disaster caused [...]

Recently my in-laws moved into a new home that is absolutely beautifully landscaped with fruit trees, hydrangeas, and succulents. It really is a home growers paradise, with different fresh fruit ripe year round and flowers always in bloom. But among all of this lovely flora is an elixir of plants: the illustrious aloe vera. We all know [...]

Being comfortable. More times than not, that is how we describe what our main objective is in life. But when you really think about it, a “comfortable” life is kind of like…a pita without toppings (okay I’m stretching it but I’m DYING to share my dinner success too and I had to tie it in [...]
