Product Management, Productivity and Personal musings
1. My dad made me this coffee. I love that when I come home I'm welcomed first thing in the morning by a cup of coffee made by Roddy. 2. Last Sunday we picked 30 lbs. of strawberries. We've got a lot of jam to make and smoothies to drink when we're back in Vancouver. …
This lemony-minty water was lovely in the fridge last week. Refreshing and pretty!
Remember how a long time ago I mentioned I'd do a garden update and never did? Well, here it is! I know you've waiting with baited breath ... Anyway, Nick is still working hard on the balcony garden and it's yielded some delicious strawberries, a bean and a pea pod! Soon there will be lots …
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 …

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 …
