Product Management, Productivity and Personal musings
These posts are from a blog I wrote from 2009 to 2012 called lady business.
... nowhere really! On Saturday, we wandered up into Gastown to try out a new-to-us coffee shop. It was a beautiful day, so I snapped far too many pictures. It was one of those perfect mornings when you couldn't ask for better weather, company or food. Another thing: The secret to happiness And, if girls were …
{I was unexpectedly downtown at lunchtime this week and finally got to try La Brasserie's food cart. It did not disappoint.} I've had a really great week! It was one of those weeks that somehow seemed to strike the right note between fun and work. I'm looking forward continuing the balance of productivity and fun …
1. Waterproof foot wear. You'll see a lot of rubber boots in Vancouver, for good reason. Especially in winter. (I have Hunter's which recently developed a hole in them so I'm not sure how I feel about them.) 2. Based on the first one, this should go without saying, but a rain coat. 3. Sunglasses, Because …
Vancouver is a wonderful jumping off point for quick trips on the West Coast. You can get to plenty of places without a car. Many of the places around Vancouver are great to visit even in the winter and we all know a quick weekend get away can make the rainy winter weather seem much …

{Returned from Edmonton to these, from my fella.} This week has felt really short, maybe because I was away last weekend. I'm looking forward to a relaxing but productive weekend. We finally got access to our storage locker in our new apartment so now that some things are put away, I feel like I can …
Vancouver has a million things to do! Here are a few of my favourites. None of them require a car so they're easy for you to get to no matter where you're staying. Many of them are free too! Things to do for free Stanley Park is a Vancouver institution that is larger than New York's …
{The burger at La Brasserie. Oh yes.} The most obvious place to start in a guide to Vancouver is food! There's A LOT of good food in Vancouver! My list won't even come close covering all the amazing choices in there are in the city but here's a comprehensive list of my favourites. As a …
As I mentioned last week, I thought it would be fun to write a guide to Vancouver. From my point of view, anyway! First up, later today, where to eat. Because that's the most important thing, of course. Following later this week: what to do. And next week: day trips and weekend trips from Vancouver. …
