Our big wooly egg

Posted by andrea tomkins in: - Ottawa for kids| Easy ways to make kids happy| Publishing/writing/career stuff

My intention was to create a big wooly Easter egg; an AVIAN PINATA of Fine Nesting Materials for our feathered friends. Sadly, it didn’t turn out looking very Eastery or even very egg-shaped. No matter, because the birds have been at it already. See!

Head over to read the whole piece at Canadian Family Magazine. Happy Friday!

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.

My latest post over at the MediaSmarts blog came about because I found myself having THE TALK with the girls recently. It's not THE talk you're thinking about. No, the birds and bees were covered years ago. This is the "don't upload anything stupid" to the Internet talk. Sigh. As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts!
