Chicken, meet head

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Home/reno

Mark and I are spending the day packing, and generally freaking out about all the things we need to do before we move back into our house TOMORROW.

Tomorrow, just for kicks (and much to Mark’s dismay I’m sure), I will be liveblogging the big day uploading pics to my Flickr set every hour on the hour (but not adding to the blog because I have my doubts that we’ll have an Internet connection)… so do check it tomorrow, or follow #FishbowlReno on Twitter. Here we gooooo!

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!
