And here we are again

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Misc. life

 DSC_0113.JPGIt’s the first day of schooooool!

I can’t believe this day is here.

Do my girls look great or what?

Last night we sharpened pencils, unwrapped erasers, stuck a label on everything that needed one, and debated whether or not we should have laundered last year’s pencil case (we didn’t).

The alarm clock didn’t go off this morning (um, maybe because I set it to 6:30 PM) and so we overslept, but not by too much. I made the girls lunches.

By special request:

Emma: Ham and mayo on whole wheat, a banana, some pineapple, a coconut drink, and some apple/raisin breakfast pita, seaweed snacks

Sarah: Rice balls wrapped with seaweed, cold crab stick, pineapple, banana, coconut drink

Related: I think I hit up a good lunch solution for myself … but more on the later!

As for today, Mark and I are running a few errands around town: birdseed, bulk barn… possibly a new chandelier for the dining room (because mummy has hit a breaking point). Maybe we’ll have a nice lunch too?

Ah, it’s good to be back.

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.
