Must be Spring

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Easy ways to make kids happy

If there’s one kind of children’s toy I love more than any it’s outdoor toys. Skates, bikes, ride-ons, wagons, skipping ropes, kites, stilts (YES), balls, you name it… it is in our garage. We also have one pogo stick, as our youngest will demonstrate below.

Speaking of toys, I can’t wait to show you what Sarah is getting for her birthday. (!)

Fantastic! I would have lasted about 4 hops before collapsing… I’m quite certain that you could register her time in the Guinness Book of Records !

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.
