1) The warm puppy sitting on my lap. My heart overfloweth.

2) A wonderful long Easter weekend. And great weather. And Spring flowers.

3) A recent spread in Ottawa Magazine, which was so much fun to write. And fun to have my photo taken. And doubly fun to see it all come together in print.

4) New connections. New projects. New challenges. Yay!

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.
