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 (10) and Sarah (8). I work as a freelance writer, web content manager, and family photographer. I've been blogging in one form or another since 1999. I have a passion for words (on their own or strung together), the arts, great design, healthy living, family travel, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa for parents and kids. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal ... all rolled into one.

If you'd like to contact me, please use this form. Thank you for visiting!

  • A Collection a Day: a blog documenting a project that will span exactly one year.

  • My latest article at Savvymom is about the Ottawa Green Bin Program. (We've been using it since December 1!) I've realized that most of our garbage consists of non-recyclable packaging, milk bags, styrofoam trays for meat/takeout, and fruit stickers. It's crazy how much it has reduced the amount of trash we generate!
