Product Management, Productivity and Personal musings
N and I are off to China next week which is pretty darn exciting, in itself! When we get back though, a big change for me. I'm heading back to school for a few months to study web design. This blog definitely started me on the path to web design and I've enjoyed it (and …
I hadn't heard about Tavi Gevinson until today, but man do I like her now! (Incidentally, I also love Stevie Nicks, so I loved the conclusion to this talk.) P.S. Another favourite Ted Talk. And this is genius, and funny! {Video via YouTube.}
This marks the first time that I post about a book that I didn't actually love. I just didn't get this one, though I did finish it. Let me start over. I loved this book until the last five pages. The ending threw me for a loop and not in a oh-what-a-great-twist-didn't-see-that-coming sort of way, …

I'm on the verge of a pretty big change in my day-to-day life. Combine that with our impending departure for Shanghai and my to do list is almost as long as my arm. These lilies were bought for our Easter festivities and I swear they're the best flowers we've ever had in our apartment. (I …

I met the lovely Maya earlier this year and found out about her custom spoon business. I immediately loved the idea! She recycles silver spoons by customizing them with a message. Aren't they cute? I think they'd be great for a new baby or for a newlywed couple. Check out Maya's website here and her …
{Image via Chapters.} About twice a year I find a book that I simply cannot put down. This results in my eschewing all of regular life for a few days and devouring said book. The Virgin Cure is one of those books. That said, I am a major Ami McKay fan. I loved The Birth …
{Daffodils we grew ourselves, but that we brought inside because no one could enjoy them where they were growing.} The weeks have been flying by lately, but in a very lovely way. Some days, lately, it feels like spring is already here! Life is full and lovely these days, as pointed out by the fact …
{Boots from Lucchese Boot Co.} I'm still enamoured with cowboy (or girl) style. These would do just fine, yes-siry. A little pricey, but a girl can dream!
