Product Management, Productivity and Personal musings
{Image via just bella.} Last week I discovered Christine's super cute blog, just bella. I not only love it because she's a fellow Edmonton girl but because Christine has some really great ideas on there. One of those ideas is having a guest book. I always thought that it was sort of old fashioned to …
1. Getting free peonies thrown into a $5 tulip purchase made me really happy at the Farmers' Market this morning. They'll only last for a few days but they made our apartment smell amazing. 2. Besides finding a fantastic trunk in the alley this week, we found a new coffee maker. Since our old one …
As I mentioned before, I've been scanning photos for my family. They've really been making me miss my Gramps whose birthday would have been today. So here are a few of those photos. Miss ya, Gramps! P.S. Happy Friday!
{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 …
