There was a distinctively heavy thud behind the front door. That’s when I knew my candy swap package had arrived. Yippee! And here it is: There are a few items missing from the photo, but rest assured this was an excellent stash. Fudge, peanut brittle, chocolate-covered slabs of peanut butter, delicious toffee-type things … one […]
1) When I was a kid, Halloween was all about: a) collecting as much candy as I could – I figured out early on that pillow cases were the ideal Candy Carrier. Sturdy and large. Other than built-in handles … what more can you ask for? We’d do a round of houses, dump the goods […]

The Obligatory Blurb
My name is Andrea and I live in the Westboro area of Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Piper who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. We also have two human offspring: Emma (24) and Sarah (22). During the day I work as a writer at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre. 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.
