Wrenches and skates

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Misc. life

Yesterday was the first time in over a week that our youngest has looked and felt healthy. So she celebrated by doing something a little more active than lying on the couch… like going for a skate after the dishes have been cleared and the sun has gone down:

Ice take 2

She had a bad flu that had her totally immobilized and incapacitated with fever. Poor thing. It just breaks my heart when the kids are sick.

This week I have a million and one things I need to catch up on. Consider this a public apology for all those overdue emails and phone calls. Wish me luck.

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.
