Oh summer! I love you! You are seriously great! I love a good reason to wear a girly skirt and a big brimmed hat and hang outside in the grass all afternoon with my family and summertime gives me that perfect occasion! It feels almost mandatory to take advantage of sunshine and free local city events. So, today we walked down the street to one of the local parks to take in Vancouver's International Jazz Festival and it was rocking. Good swinging tunes and of course all the street vending food you can get your hands on. Which means my husband was in his summer element eating mini donuts.
We relaxed in the grass and hung out watching all the people come and go; people watching is always a good time at any event. Summer in Vancouver means feeling the fresh breeze of the water as the sun beats down on your shoulders. It was one of those days that feels perfect and you can forget all your worries and put off your 'to do' list and you can just be.

Well, Hello There!
Mama in the City since 2008 and blogging since 2009!
My first apartment baby is now a full on boy and we struggle with finding space in our condo for his growing toy collection. I'm also a new mum to our second apartment baby, born January 13, 2012!
I have a husband who is an excellent cook and takes amazing photos. I work as a labor and delivery nurse and really love the work that I do and gave birth to baby #2 at my work place.
I use this space to write about my family and to share my passion about breastfeeding, birth and parenting. I have a fantastic purse collection and have loved watching it grow, mostly lovely gifts over the years from my husband. I currently have a closet full of purses that are too small or impractical to fit a diaper or sippy cup in, and so they are on hold for future years.
Have a question or a comment? Email me! I also love to read comments left on posts, so feel free to leave me a note!
