Visiting from Chatelaine?

Posted by andrea tomkins in: My media (sideblog archive)

Welcome!

This blog chronicles the adventures of our daily lives. Topics include bathing suits, experiments with ant farms, my attempts to swim … there’s a whole category devoted to things I’ve bought (or just covet) and another called Easy Ways to Make Kids Happy, (which is really just a bunch of posts that are about fun things we’ve done as a family) and another category of crafty things.

Lots of people wonder where I find the time to do all of this. Well, it is truly a labour of love. And let’s just say the oven hasn’t been cleaned in a heck of a long time and I owe my mother a long overdue telephone call. :)

Enjoy!

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.

If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.

I've deactivated the commenting function as well as my contact form so if you want to get in touch, please drop me a line at quietfish@gmail.com. Thank you!
