1) The warm puppy sitting on my lap. My heart overfloweth.

2) A wonderful long Easter weekend. And great weather. And Spring flowers.

3) A recent spread in Ottawa Magazine, which was so much fun to write. And fun to have my photo taken. And doubly fun to see it all come together in print.

4) New connections. New projects. New challenges. Yay!

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 offspring: Emma (24) and Sarah (22). 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, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
