Product Management, Productivity and Personal musings
{The shortest day of the year has come, and more importantly, gone!} This week has been pretty great! There's something about the impending holidays that has me in a great mood despite all of the last minute things that need to get done. We'll be in the motherland for ten days or so and I'm …
{Living room.} It's been three weeks since we moved into our new place but it's taken a while to unpack! We've been very busy this month (who hasn't!) but in the last few days I feel like we've made real progress with the apartment. The walls are still lacking a lot of, well, anything but …
{Pumpkin pancakes from the Screen Door in Portland.} Now that moving has happened and my trip to Portland is sadly behind me, I feel like I can finally get into the Christmas spirit! This weekend will be filled with friends, a little family, some baking and one of my favourite new traditions: Christmas movies at …
{Food carts!} As I mentioned, I went down to Portland for a few days to visit with a group of girlfriends who hadn't all been in the same room in many, many years. We had a wonderful time: eating, laughing, shopping and generally enjoying each other and the city. I'm dying to go back to …
{or photos from a moving train} ... Portland, Oregon. On Saturday, Jenn and I hopped on a train to join a reunion of sorts, with Abbie, Caitlin and Laura, friends from the motherland, who are now spread out across the continent. I loved the train! It was so much more calm than flying and Jenn …
{Our small, potted Christmas tree.} It's been a loooooong two weeks, friends. They say that moving is one of the most stressful things you can go through, and I have to say after this move, I kind of agree! We're happily settling in to our place though. Many things still need to be unpacked and …
{Legit hardwood floors.} Our new apartment is not photo ready, yet, so I thought that I'd post a few of the small things about it that are making me happy. Though it lacks one thing our old place had (a gas stove), overall it is a major step up for us! It's large, has almost …
As you can perhaps guess from the radio blogger silence the last week things have been busy! We moved last week and though it's taken us several days to locate all of the important things that are required to exist, we love the new place and are happily settling in. Above is a grainy/shaky sneak …
{Image via Chapters.} I borrowed The Help from my friend Heather recently because the movie totally appealed to me. The book ended up being so good that I couldn't put it down. I think I finished it in less than 36 hours which included a work day. It's a totally absorbing story told from the …
{New art for our new place! By Fred Weiss, natch.} I swear that the weeks are just flying by these days! I had a wonderful visit with my mom at the beginning of the week. Having Nick come back from Montreal on Tuesday was great too! We're actively procrastinating about next week's big move but …
