Product Management, Productivity and Personal musings
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 …
{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 …
{Well organized and edited bookshelves.} I mentioned before that I had boundless energy for my apartment earlier this week. What I didn't have was boundless energy to post about it, apparently! Call it spring fever or blame it on the guests we're excited to receive in June but I tackled some of those annoying little …
{Brussel sprouts, kale and onions, in rows.} We're fortunate in our little apartment. We have a pretty big balcony/fire escape, in a city where space is a hot commodity. When we initially looked at our place, all Nick really had to do was stick his head out the door off our kitchen and he was …
1. Anthropologie has opened on South Granville! Just in time for me to replace our butter dish that I broke recently. And with such a pretty one! Now I just have to prevent myself from spending all of my money there. 2. This weekend was super-productive; I organized and edited a lot including this bookshelf. …
1. I tried making these sweet potato biscuits for brunch on Saturday and they turned out really well! 2. The bathroom is finally almost back to normal. I just have to paint another coat and then the landlord will come and put the mirror back up. No more dust! 3. An organized dresser top. Something …
It has been a long week, friends. Mostly due to frustrating construction in our bathroom and wrapping up one of our bigger books at work. After some congratulatory wine (for finishing the book) at The Whip, with work mates and Nick, we headed home early. I think because of our crazy week, we were both …
I've really been feeling the need to get out the vacuum, scrub brushes and cloths the last few weeks. I'm a border-line clean freak (some people I know would remove the border-line part) but something about the tradition of spring cleaning that really gets me going. This spring I haven't had quite as much motivation …
Ever since seeing an article on Apartment Therapy I've been wanting an overhead clothes drying rack but it's pretty pricey and the store that sells them seems to be non-existant now (I would post the original article but I can't find it). I found this alternative but don't love the idea of all that hardware …
Inspired by my desire to blog more and a potential new freelancing job, I figured I should sort out my little corner of our office. Ta-da! Some day soon I will get to framing my newly acquired copy of Life magazine from 1971 detailing the 'woman problem.' For now a protester on the cover with …
