A nice surprise in my Inbox

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Ottawa

The email subject line read: Moms who are killing it in Instagram. So I had to open it. Of course I want to read about Moms who are rocking Instagram! The link lead to this:

Ottawa Instagram accounts to follow

As I clicked through the gallery I was all like, yes, yes, I know that person, that person is awesome, yes I love her photos, wow that’s a great photo and then I did a spit take and saw that I was included.

The women who are featured here are incredibly creative and talented. Please, if you’re on Instagram, do follow them! Heck, you don’t even need Instagram to take a peek at what they’re up to:

People use Instagram for all kinds of things, and for all kinds of reasons, but my personal account is a simple way for me to reflect upon the beauty of the world and to remind myself to stop and admire it every once in awhile. So to be recognized and included with such great company, well, let’s just say it made my day. Thank you Savvymom… and Savvy Mom Rebecca Stanisic!

You can read the article right here. :)

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!
