Our first week in Madrid

October 7, 2014October 8, 2014 | allison

Last week, we settled into our working “remotely” routine. Remote is in quotation marks because really, wherever we work it’s remote! All we need our laptops and reliable internet! We divide our days between Clara duty and work time; one person always gets to work uninterrupted while the other person gets to play with the

Onward to Madrid!

September 30, 2014 | allison

On Saturday night, Clara slept like an angel. She hasn’t slept for seven hours in a row for months and months, so it was such a treat for us all! Sunday morning was a bit of a blur; I got up early to pack our bags, and Clara and J slept in a bit. We’ve

When I left off, it was Friday morning and C was sleeping soundly in her carrier; she stayed that way for about two hours and then we ate lunch and set off for a couple of hours of wandering around before … yet another call! It’s been a busy week for business calls for us!

Travel: featuring a baby with a cold

September 26, 2014September 27, 2014 | allison

Day one. The ride to the airport in Edmonton was foreboding. C cried almost the entire way. It was only just as we pulled up to the airport that she finally settled and went to sleep. We didn’t realize in the car, but baby girl was getting a doozy of a cold. The flight to

A Haworthia Terrarium

March 4, 2013March 10, 2013 | allison

Yesterday was one of those days where you remember exactly why you moved to Vancouver. It was March 3. And this happened. On top of the fantastic weather, we were surprised that we had a bit of a “calm before the storm” (at least we hope the storm is coming) type of day. It was

2013 goals

February 25, 2013February 24, 2013 | allison

Hello! See, I told you I’d be back. So. Let’s talk about my 2013 goals . I have two. Having two goals this year is very different from thirty goals I had in my 30-before-30 project, last year. And one of this year’s two goals is private (sorry mom; it’s not have a baby). And

Well… this is awkward. So awkward that I’m not entirely sure how to start. And I always know how to start. So, let’s go with: “Hi! How are you? It’s been awhile”. And it’s true. It has been awhile. An embarrassingly long while. A since October 18th kinda while. I guess I just ran out
