Product Management, Productivity and Personal musings
{Tacos on our balcony.} I'm a very lucky girl. I live with a man who makes me fish tacos for my birthday even though I already had birthday brunch and dinner with dear friends. A man who knows the importance of birthday dinner for two. Thanks to my love for birthday fish tacos. {Bacon-wrapped scallop …
For the long weekend we went down to Summerland to do some wine tasting. The weather was brilliant and I knocked one thing off my summer list: swimming in natural water. I swam in Lake Okanagan twice and even though it was really cold, it was totally worth it! It was a lovely way to …
1. Nick bought me these lilies for my birthday last year and then planted them in our garden. They bloomed this week just in time for my birthday this weekend. How cool is that? 2. I've had these jeans for a year and a half and I finally got them hemmed this week. It took …
{All photos via Paperheart Studios.} I have some talented friends! Justine Ma is one of them. We went to U of A together before I transferred to Halifax. I don't see her very often but I love to creep on her blog to see what she's up to. She and her business partner have started …

Digital books, seem to me, to be in their toddler stages right now, so I'm really excited to see how they are going to 'grow up.' (Also, as …
{Image via just bella.} Last week I discovered Christine's super cute blog, just bella. I not only love it because she's a fellow Edmonton girl but because Christine has some really great ideas on there. One of those ideas is having a guest book. I always thought that it was sort of old fashioned to …
1. Getting free peonies thrown into a $5 tulip purchase made me really happy at the Farmers' Market this morning. They'll only last for a few days but they made our apartment smell amazing. 2. Besides finding a fantastic trunk in the alley this week, we found a new coffee maker. Since our old one …
As I mentioned before, I've been scanning photos for my family. They've really been making me miss my Gramps whose birthday would have been today. So here are a few of those photos. Miss ya, Gramps! P.S. Happy Friday!
{Image via Flickr ... of adults, just FYI.} Since I'm revealing secrets this week (alley combing, anyone?) I thought I share some thoughts about MTV's Teen Mom. Ya, you heard me. Though I think I've kept it a well-guarded secret on my blog, I LOVE television. So much so that we don't have a TV because …
{View from near Granville Island.} One of my favourite parts of Vancouver is the seawall. It really beautiful and takes you through a lot of Vancouver's neighbourhoods. There are 22 kilometres of trail, including the walk around Stanley Park. You can bike it, walk it, run it, skateboard it ... you get the idea. It's …
