The other day I got an advance sneak peek at the newly renovated/restored/rebuilt/re-engineered Canadian Museum of Nature. The whole place smells like a coat of paint.

This is something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. What does it mean to be part of a community? What is a community anyway? Why does it matter? The longer I live here in Ottawa I realize that it’s more than just houses on a street, it’s more than roads and schools and stoplights […]
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.
