Miscellaneous Monday - Miscellaneous Fun Facts for your Monday!
First off I want to say how grateful I am to @Meg Holbrook for starting Miscellaneous-Monday a couple of years ago - and for @Kat Warner and @FUN MAN ANDY for starting it up again. This is my first Miscellaneous Monday post and it got me thinking, what a strange word, one I took for granted as I always shortened it to…

Agile Household: Family Collaboration
A few years ago I discovered an "Agile Household" board on the Trello Inspiration page, created by Brian Cervino and Jessica Webb. I decided to copy the template board and started using it with my husband. This has kept us on track and organized in everything from house maintenance and renovations, to decorating,…

Capturing a Moment in Time
When I was little my Mom bought me a School Days book, which had a page for each year from pre-kindergarten to University. Each page is an envelope where you could add photos, report cards, artwork, awards, special events and memories etc. A few months ago I took the book out and it was in pretty bad shape, it was so…

Beach Reads and Productivity Fun!
Happy Friday y'all! I can hardly believe it is the last Friday in August - summer where on Earth have you gone!? I was reflecting earlier this week on my beautiful but short summer, and the time I spent relaxing on the beautiful Prince Edward Island beaches.

A collection of memories that all come flooding back each…

2020: Thrive and Execute
Hard to believe it is already mid January of a new decade. I wrote a couple of articles back in December called "New Year's Resolutions, Annual Reviews, Past Year Reviews...or None of the Above?" and "Crafting a Vision Board with Trello". Since "My 30-Day Digital Detox" from mid-December to mid-January I had a lot of time…

My 30-Day Digital Detox
I have always wanted to do a digital detox and mid-December, nearing the end of a decade seemed like a good time to try it. In the past I had done a weekend unplug, but this felt completely different. I was shocked at how easy it was, I was expecting social media withdrawals of some sort, but nothing. Cutting the cord was…

Coding: Learning a New Language
A few years ago my colleague said via a tweet, "You are never too old to learn a new language. Why not learn to code so you can communicate better with computers." It made me stop and think for a minute. I was always focused on improving my second language (French) but never really thought of coding as language. I worked…
