Looking for your domestic wisdom! And a superquick giveaway for Twitter followers

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Giveaways and product reviews| Publishing/writing/career stuff

Two things:

Remember the potato soup I made out of wrinkly potatoes last week? Well, it inspired my latest post on the UsedEverywhere blog about using up those slowly perishing leftovers. I would love to get your two cents over there! This is one of those instances in which sharing our collective wisdom can be very helpful. :)

ALSO, the fine folks at UsedOttawa have given me two tickets to give away to the Ottawa Home Renovation show this weekend. (More info about the show is online here.)

Just to shake things up, the giveaway is taking place on Twitter.

If you’re on Twitter please tweet the following text to be entered:

Hey @missfish I’d love 2 tix to @HomeRenoShow. Tx @UsedOttawa #Ottawa #FishbowlGiveaway

The winner will be chosen at 10:00 p.m. tonight!

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.
