for fans of Westboro Village
Do you live in Ottawa? Ever shop and wander around the Westboro area? Are you the kind of person who likes to get a heads up about great finds and support local business? Subscribe to the Extra Helping*, a free email spotlight on one great product, service, nook, or edible treat from the wilds of Westboro Village. It’s a “hello, look what I found” note, fortified with freshness and served up in a tidy little package and delivered right to your inbox on a semi-regular basis. (I’m aiming for 3 or 4 times a month.)
This extra content will not be published here on the blog, and it could be about a swank pair of shoes, a stupendous cupcake, a fresh vegetable, or something sparkly. If you already follow me on Pinterest and/or my shopping-related blog posts and tweets you may find this mysteriously compelling.
Click here to subscribe and see for yourself.
I’m also looking for Shop Spies! If you love (a) Westboro and (b) window shopping as much as I do, contact me for more info. :)
Thank you for your support!

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.
Connect with me at these places too!
