Product Management, Productivity and Personal musings
These posts are from a blog I wrote from 2009 to 2012 called lady business.
As you may remember from this post of yore, I've long been a fan of the William Morris quote 'Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.' Well, a couple of months ago, I found the blog Pancakes and French Fries and discovered that someone …
{First outside swim of the year, at Lighthouse Park.} This post is a couple of days later than I usually write it, but it was a pretty good week so I didn't want to skip it entirely. School is getting difficult but I'm still really glad I'm doing it. I hope that your weekend was …
Ever since I saw this post on reading my tea leaves, I've been wanting to try garlic scape pesto, so when I saw garlic scapes at the farmers' market a week ago I jumped on them. (They were cheap, to boot!) On the recommendation of the guy who sold them to me I added some …
{Breakfast raspberries} {Sandwiches from Finch's with my man} {And leftover birthday cake!} {Garlic scape pesto, beer and bad TV} {The best smelling lilies} It's my birthday today and despite the fact that I definitely did not have the day off (not even a little bit) it was a pretty good day.

Recently I've been pondering vivid colour combinations. Minimalism. Love. Where the furniture in my apartment really belongs. The Hunger Games. And instants of perfection. There was one this weekend: sun and our new garden, my man, a glass of wine and newly planted sweet peas.
{katemoore.ca} As you may be able to tell by my use of an exclamation point in a title on this blog, I'm excited! After putting in quite a bit of time, my professional website is finally up. I've been dabbling with it for the last SIX MONTHS but it took actually getting into school for …
Do you know who Chip Kidd is? Probably not, since most people are not that interested in book designers. But, if you haven't seen this Ted talk, please watch it! Not only will it make you realize how fun and important book design can be, it will also entertain you. I was embarrassed to have …
{The most delicious lemon chiffon pie that a friend brought over for dessert one night.} School is now in full swing for me and frankly one of the last things I want to do after a day in front of the computer dealing with websites is to come home and blog. As a result, I'm …
