Posted by andrea tomkins in: Challenge me, challenge you

To commemorate this very important minute of this very important day I took a photo at exactly 11:11 a.m today. Here it is. Did you do the same? Let me know in the comments below. I’d love to see your photo!

If you happen to be in the Westboro area of Ottawa, there will be a Remembrance Day ceremony at the Westboro Cenotaph at 2:00 p.m. today. The Cenotaph is located between Richmond Rd. and Byron on the pedestrian pathway, just west of Golden Avenue.

The Obligatory Blurb

Thank you for visiting! My name is Andrea and I live in the Westboro area of Ottawa with my husband Mark and our two daughters Emma (14) and Sarah (12). I've been blogging since 1999, which makes me either a total dinosaur or a veteran of the Canadian blog scene, I'm not sure which! The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I am the Managing Editor of Capital Parent Newspaper but also make my living doing a bunch of other fun things. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, family travel, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa for parents and kids. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.

If you'd like to contact me, please use this form. If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.

I'm over at the terra20 blog today, writing about upcycling and recycling. I like buying one-of-a-kind items, don't you? I also like gifting them to people I know to be fence-sitters as it pertains to eco-friendly goods. Read on!
