Looking back

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Misc. life

I spent a little bit of time the other night digging around for really old blog posts. I started blogging when Emma was born (before it was called blogging!), but the posts below were the earliest I could find.

That means I’ve been blogging for nine years. Nine! And this is what that baby looks like today. :)

I’ve avoided this problem by instructing my kids to stop growing.

The Obligatory Blurb

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.

If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.

I've deactivated the commenting function as well as my contact form so if you want to get in touch, please drop me a line at quietfish@gmail.com. Thank you!
