I can has seedz

B.B. is watching you too

So much to write. So little time.

I received the nicest email the other day and it has made this week seem a little easier to handle. It’s such a simple thing to do, isn’t it, to write an email to someone who has meant something to you. Small thing, big impact. Something to think about during Kindness Week here in Ottawa.

I just got back from Social Media Breakfast Ottawa. This is the place to be if you want to talk to some interesting people and hear about cutting edge projects. The guest speaker was Stuart MacDonald, CEO and Founder of Tripharbour and the founder of Expedia.ca. My head is swimming and I am excited about the great things happening around me.

In the meantime … I am home with a sick kid. Deadlines looming. Headache pounding. Please tell me it’s Friday and someone else is making dinner tonight.

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!
