Family Advent day four: candles and bubbles

Advent day four: candles and bubbles

There is veritable frenzy of vanilla-scented bubble action happening in this photo. Do you know the trick to making good bath bubbles? Use a whisk! With an ordinary kitchen whisk and a bit of muscle you can make a right n’ proper frothy mess in the tub… a mountain of bubbles, complete with hills and valleys and places to hide.

ETA: afterwards we had parent-teacher meetings, went out for pizza, watched Rudolph, and ate cupcakes!

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.
