Product Management, Productivity and Personal musings
Huzzah! A blog post! I was not having a good week last week. I've been burning the candle at both ends and was feeling really, really run down. My sister, A, happened to call which was very exciting in and of itself, since she currently lives in Melbourne and the time difference makes it hard …
When this whole William Morris thing started, I read on Pancakes and French Fries that the best advice to take, when starting this project, was to start with a drawer. Well, that's exactly the advice I took when restarting this project, only it was a cupboard, not a drawer. This weekend, we're having a large …
{Addie being really helpful ...} As I mentioned last week, I was planning on going through my dresser for quite a while. I finally did it this week, mostly because I couldn't get most of the drawers closed anymore. Since I moved out of my parents' house almost ten years ago, I haven't had a …
Spoiler alert: Contains info about winner the of The Bachelorette. (And yes, it does have to do with filing.) A subtitle had to be included on this post because, let's face it: filing? So. Not. Sexy.

Last year I was all about tulips but this year the roses in our neighbourhood are making me swoon. I "borrowed" these beauties from the lane behind our place. Is there anything sweeter than roses in a mason jar? No, no there is not.
As you may remember from this post of yore, I've long been a fan of the William Morris quote 'Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.' Well, a couple of months ago, I found the blog Pancakes and French Fries and discovered that someone …
{Living room.} It's been three weeks since we moved into our new place but it's taken a while to unpack! We've been very busy this month (who hasn't!) but in the last few days I feel like we've made real progress with the apartment. The walls are still lacking a lot of, well, anything but …
{Legit hardwood floors.} Our new apartment is not photo ready, yet, so I thought that I'd post a few of the small things about it that are making me happy. Though it lacks one thing our old place had (a gas stove), overall it is a major step up for us! It's large, has almost …
