52 Bakes

Another year gone means another 52 things accomplished. I have to say, I really enjoy my ’52 things’ format of new years resolutions. Some years are easy (hello 52 documentaries) and some are more difficult (I’m looking at you, 52 hand written cards). But they always give me a sense of accomplishment at the end […]

Montreal

Surprise! I’m back again! Already, you ask? Yes, the first two weeks of February were a busy time for me. A day after getting back from San Francisco, I was on my way to Montreal to have a girls weekend. On Friday, Justine and I flew to Montreal fairly early in the day. We arrived […]

San Francisco

The first week of February, I was in Paris. It was probably the least exciting trip to Paris I’ve had thus far, so I’m going to skip right over it and get to the next trip, which started about 3hrs after the Paris trip ended: San Francisco. My friend Michelle and I went to visit […]

Paris

As per usual, I was back in Paris for a work trip. The first day of the trip was my birthday, so I got a couple of desserts throughout the week with a candle in it to celebrate. On Tuesday, almost the entire team went out for dinner together to celebrate, which was nice of […]

Cape Breton

Me, Emily, Justine, Nicole, and Nicola went on a road trip around Cape Breton Island. In a very tiny car named Kelly. Meet Kelly: She’s tiny, but shockingly fuel efficient. She did us well. We started in Halifax, with everyone slowly arriving in Halifax to leave on Friday morning for Cape Breton. Here’s a map […]

Solo in Paris

This time, I was flying solo. Chloe wasn’t on this trip to Paris. I was worried that I would feel lonely and spending my evenings alone. I should have known better. There’s always at least a couple people from the Paris office who are down to get a drink and have dinner.  However, I was […]

Emerald Lake

My friend Deanna moved to Field, BC earlier in the year to work at a lodge on Emerald Lake. She kept posting photos of the amazing views on Instagram and it convinced me to go visit her 😛 I flew into Calgary and she came and picked me up. Our first stop was just outside […]

San Francisco, CA

It was decided at work that I would attend a UI workshop with a client in San Francisco mainly because I was physically closest. I didn’t object, but it was for a product I knew absolutely nothing about which created some challenges. I was coming along because the product managers organizing the visit were hoping […]

Celebrity Equinox

I’m currently sick enough that my body aches and I considered taking a sick day (but ultimately didn’t) that I figured I’d ramble on about the reason I suspect I’m sick: coming back to cold weather after spending a week in the Caribbean. My parents took my brother and I on a week long cruise […]

Paris, France

Since you all know the drill about Paris, I’ll just talk about our day off in Paris. (We were given the option to take an extra non-working day in Paris because we were working on Family Day). Chloe had found out about a restaurant on an island and we wanted to go to it. It […]
