The girls are asleep. FINALLY. Good lord am I tired. Sarah took forever to fall asleep. When Mark checked on her at 10:30 and she was still awake, terrified, of course, that she wasn’t going to fall asleep and that Santa might pass us by because of it. Anyway, here they are, cute as buttons in […]

She passed away last night. Her husband, Pete, has been one of Mark’s best friends since ninth grade. Oh, Jannis. I wish I […]
Sarah went to bed the other night with this sign on her chest:  Gawd that cracks me up. I feel the same way Sarah, I really do. Mark and I spent the entire day cleaning and yet, amazingly, we made very little visible impact. How does that happen? Clean the basement and the closets, that’s […]
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.
