Someone we know has a birthday

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Misc. life

Selfie by S. What can I tell you about this girl, other than the fact that she is a kindhearted soul who makes me laugh,
is generous and kind and
has her own style
and loves to write
and draw 
and sing
and peel off a funny rhyme
and run and jump
make lemonade in the summer
and hot chocolate in the winter
and likes to barrel down steep hills when skiing
and walk barefoot in the sand
and catch fireflies
and loves warm socks
and warm hugs
and fuzzy blankets
and cupcakes
and sushi
and most of what mum cooks for dinner
and what else?

Oh yes, this girl is TWELVE today!

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.
