Product Management, Productivity and Personal musings
These posts are from a blog I wrote from 2009 to 2012 called lady business.
1. Birthday goodies! Beautiful scarf from Norm, Anthropologie drawer knobs from Nick and a new book from Andrea. 2. We got a new router at work and it is amazing! So fast! Yes I realize that I am hugely nerdy for putting this as a small joy. Whatevs. {Photo from the Apple website.} 3. Coming …
This corn and bean salad is one of my favourites. I can't take credit for it though. It comes from my boss, Sam, who is a vegan. The corn and beans apparently make a complete protein so it's a good no meat meal. Nick likes to eat it as more of a salsa but it …
{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 …
Since I make books for a living, and especially since traditional books are changing every second right now, I'm always intrigued by the capabilities of digital books. 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!
