support the fishbowl
I’ve had a few conversations with readers who want to know how they can support this website. THANK YOU for that. I really appreciate your positive feedback and your support. I pour a lot of myself into this little corner of cyberspace. It is truly a labour of love.
The best way to show your appreciation (that is, if you want to) is by clicking on the ads of my awesome patrons and taking the time to check out their websites. Without them, I might not be here.
The second best way of showing your support is to leave a comment on a blog post (comments are currency in the world of blogs!) or send me a note. I am thrilled when I find out that a recipe worked out for you, that you discovered something new to do with your kids, or that you snorted coffee out of your nose even when I wasn’t trying to be funny. Knowing that you find this site (and the time that I put into to it!) of value keeps me going.
You can also:
- Follow me on Twitter
- Bookmark this site, subscribe to my feed, subscribe to the site by email, or just email the website link to someone you know.
- Subscribe to my newsletter, the Extra Helping.
- Follow my Facebook page.
- Buy me a coffee! :)
Thank you all for visiting. It is great to know you’re reading… and that you keep coming back, well, that’s just the icing on the cake.
THANK YOU!

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!
