My family and I were walking past one of those bright Kitchissippi Times newspaper boxes in Westboro last night. I gave it a little tap. “Hey, it’s my paper!” I exclaimed. “Are you going to say that EVERY TIME mom?” sighed my youngest. Yes I am dear. YES I AM.
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.
