All Mark really wanted to do on Father’s Day was watch the golf. Okay by me! I watched, but only peripherally. Tiger Woods got knee surgery and I heard a lot of grumbling about the excessive pro-Tiger coverage, but overall, I think Mark had [...]

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 >>
