I am really enjoying Mighty Girls’ list of 100 skills everyone should master. Me, I would really like to know how to change a tire with confidence. (I think I could figure it out, but I’m not exactly sure … hmm. )

Changing tires isn’t bad! Better to practice in the drive way and know how than be stranded highway side with a flat and a dead cell phone!!

I’ve never learned how to change a tire. I was so impressed last fall when our car had a slow leak, we discovered a flat one morning, and Jason put on the spare right there in the parking lot. I suppose after having watched him do it, I could manage it on my own too.

The Obligatory Blurb
My name is Andrea and I live in the Westboro area of Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Piper who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. We also have two human daughters: Emma (20) and Sarah (18). During the day I work as a writer at The Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre. 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, family travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa for families. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
