We are still away, en route home from our camping trip, but I just wanted to quickly post my latest piece at CanadianFamily.ca and remind you that sometimes the simplest things are the most fun… like taking walks in the dark with nothing but lanterns to light your way home. :)
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.
