I can has seedz

Posted by andrea in: Misc. life

B.B. is watching you too

So much to write. So little time.

I received the nicest email the other day and it has made this week seem a little easier to handle. It’s such a simple thing to do, isn’t it, to write an email to someone who has meant something to you. Small thing, big impact. Something to think about during Kindness Week here in Ottawa.

I just got back from Social Media Breakfast Ottawa. This is the place to be if you want to talk to some interesting people and hear about cutting edge projects. The guest speaker was Stuart MacDonald, CEO and Founder of Tripharbour and the founder of Expedia.ca. My head is swimming and I am excited about the great things happening around me.

In the meantime … I am home with a sick kid. Deadlines looming. Headache pounding. Please tell me it’s Friday and someone else is making dinner tonight.

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in the Westboro area of Ottawa with my husband Mark and our two daughters Emma (11) and Sarah (9). I am a writer, web content manager, and family photographer. I've been blogging since 1999. I have a passion for words (on their own or strung together), the arts, healthy living, family travel, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa for parents and kids. I also love vegetables, books, and great design. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal ... all rolled into one. If you're so inclined you can read more about me here >>
