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. …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
1. This meat pie was given to us by Nick's mom several months ago for our freezer. Last Sunday, it was pouring so we pulled it out and did it ever hit the spot. Thanks Martine! 2. Nick and I are heading to the motherland this week so in order to see all of our …
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. A chocolate cupcake with raspberry frosting from Terra. Enjoyed on a sunny day on Granville Island. A perfect beginning to summer (even if summer hasn't really begun yet). 2. Cute new shoes that came on Tuesday. I've been lusting after these bad boys for several weeks. 3. The only thing better than flowers are …
