I have to start this post by confessing that I can’t stop calling the Canadian Museum of History by its old name: the Museum of Civilization. The old name is permanently etched into my brain (what can I say, I’m old) but I someday hope to be able to call it by its proper name […]

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.
