Product Management, Productivity and Personal musings
{Vancouver from the Burrard Bridge, 2009.} Well, I've been a seriously sub par blogger this week! In my defense, it's been a very busy week with lots of freelance work on top of my 9 to 5 job, not that I'm complaining! Freelance work is always a good thing. There was also hockey to watch …
{Freesia and peonies make for a really good smelling bouquet!} Last night I was feeling ever so slightly sorry for myself because I had a lot of freelance work to do after my day job. To make it feel a little less like a long, long work day, I bought myself some flowers and listened …
{N's dad's wedding band from when N's parents were married which I wear everyday.} Sometimes it's nice to look around and remember how lucky I am. I really like my little life in Vancouver and I love looking around our apartment to be reminded of people, places and events in my life. I once heard …
1. Patrick, who is one of my favourite people in the universe, is visiting from Montreal. It's almost like he never moved away. His visit resulted in a weekend full of food and friends. 2. This cake, which is possibly the best cake I've ever had, was part of a 'cabin' reunion dinner last night …
{Gramps during what I'd guess is World War II.} Yesterday I received a package of family photos (from my mom's side) that I had volunteered to scan so that everyone can have copies. It is what I do for a living so I'd love to put together a little book through iPhoto or something for …

{From a summer trip a few years ago.} Inspired by Cupcakes and Cashmere's post from yesterday I thought I'd write a list of things I'd like to do this summer. Since my spring resolutions were only somewhat successful, I hope that I can do most of the following things this summer. 1. Swim in natural …
1. Dom and Sean are staying with us all week! I love having visitors. 2. I finally took my trusty bike to get her one year tune up. She rides like a dream now! 3. This is a two week small joys post. Last weekend, we went to Edmonton and then to Fairmont Springs for …
Lentils are one of those things that I know I should like but let's face it, cooked poorly and they are really dull. I was recently flipping through my Williams Sonoma Salad cookbook and found a recipe for lentil salad that sounded pretty good. I made it once before we went to Alberta and found …
{The main course: salad, beef short ribs, mashed potatoes, carrots, lentils and grilled asparagus.} I mentioned in last week's small joys post that Nick and I wanted to cook dinner for both of our families. Last Thursday, in the Motherland, we made a huge dinner for everyone at my parents' house. It was a great …
