I’ve been promising the girls a tea party and decided today was the day. I think we all needed a boost today. Here are Emma and Sarah’s special tea cups, filled with a very weak chai latte kind of concoction. Take a pot of milk, add lots of honey and wave one chai teabag in […]

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.
