Leafing around

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Misc. life| travel talk

Ah, fall.

You are hot chocolate and warm hats. You are cozy covers and heavy sweaters. You are road trips and leaves - lots of leaves - enough to send someone home with arms that barely function and muscles that scream for mercy.

It's the annual Raking of the Forest

Time to take a break

This was my view of you last year.

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.
