Product Management, Productivity and Personal musings
These posts are from a blog I wrote from 2009 to 2012 called lady business.
{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 …
Okay, Kate deep breaths. As you can tell by the fact that I used capital letters AND exclamation points in a title, I'm very excited right now! This morning I was perusing one of my favourite blogs, Young House Love, and thought that I'd comment on their super cute herb garden. I shared our balcony …
I'm going to let you in on a little secret: Nick and I are champion alley combers. (Before you say anything, yes, I know bedbugs are a problem in Vancouver but some times, you've got to risk it!) We will often dream about some particular item and sort of forget about it until, low and …
As I mentioned in yesterday's post, we went on an awesome day trip to Gibsons this weekend, despite the overcast weather. It was an easy jaunt from Vancouver with delicious results. Matt, Shaz, Andrea, Peter, Nick and I daydreamed about starting a commune there on our walk from the ferry into town. Want to join …
1. On Saturday we went on a little day trip to Gibsons, the highlight being lunch at Smitty's Oyster House. We ate really excellent seafood and drank fantastic BC wine and were served by a hilariously rude (in a charming way) server. We were also subject to a fly by seagull bombing (read: the table was pooped …
{My dad and me in 1987.} My dad is very special. He's loyal and warm and a salt-of-the-earth kind of guy. He just is who he is. He's one of the people I most look up to and admire. I'm so lucky to have a dad like him! Happy father's day, Dad! (And to Harry …
{Vancouver from the Burrard Bridge, 2009.} Well, I've been a seriously sub par blogger this week! In my defense, it's been a very busy week with lots of freelance work on top of my 9 to 5 job, not that I'm complaining! Freelance work is always a good thing. There was also hockey to watch …
{Freesia and peonies make for a really good smelling bouquet!} Last night I was feeling ever so slightly sorry for myself because I had a lot of freelance work to do after my day job. To make it feel a little less like a long, long work day, I bought myself some flowers and listened …
{N's dad's wedding band from when N's parents were married which I wear everyday.} Sometimes it's nice to look around and remember how lucky I am. I really like my little life in Vancouver and I love looking around our apartment to be reminded of people, places and events in my life. I once heard …
